Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle⁽³⁾| T: J S Moore| OR: 59| D

7/1

Returned to form of late following up a good win at Chepstow (5f, good-to-soft) with two placed efforts at Brighton. Races off the same mark as for each of those placings and is one to note in this contest.

5/1

Finished a close second the last twice including by a nose over an extended 5f on good-to-soft ground here two weeks ago. Races off a 1lb higher mark today and softer ground shouldn't inconvenience him.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Rob Hornby| T: P R Chamings| OR: 53| D

15/2

Victorious over 5f at Chepstow (soft) when last in action back in June. Raised 3lb for that victory and best form on turf has come with plenty of cut in the ground.

Form: 52-0751

66/1

Well beaten on all four starts so far including in first time cheekpieces (absent today) on handicap debut over 6f at Brighton (good-to-firm) in July. Others make more appeal.

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Connor Beasley| T: R C Guest| OR: 46| D

11/4

Some good placed efforts in the summer and not beaten far when seventh on her penultimate outing. Well held on the AW last time out and this return to forecast soft ground is likely to suit. Also declared 5:20 Musselburgh Sunday.

Silver Penny^p¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: David Egan⁽³⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 45

Forecasts

Lady Joanna Vassa (11/4), Time Medicean (5/1), Everkyllachy (7/1), Fleeting Glimpse (7/1), Foxford (15/2), Silver Penny (8/1), Malaysian Boleh (8/1), Harrison Stickle (9/1), Tea El Tee (9/1), Emilene (33/1), Fivos (66/1)

FOXFORD has a good record on soft ground having won once and finished placed once from three starts and she can follow up her Chepstow victory last time out by claiming this following a near four month absence. Top weight Everkyllachy is taken to chase her home dropping in grade today having placed in a 0-70 contest last time out while Time Medicean, narrowly beaten here last month can take third.
