Selected odds by:
Has won three times since joining this yard this year, most recently over 7f (good to soft) at Doncaster in July off a mark of 76. Ran close to that form last time at Chepstow (7f, heavy) and is in the mix for this.
Lightly-raced mare won over this C&D in August 2016, rated 67, before spending a year on the sidelines. Last of eight, beaten 17L here a fortnight ago over 1m, drops in class/trip but now but hard to recommend.
Winner over 7f at Carlisle on good to firm in May, has winning form on good to soft, but four recent course runs at 7f/1m suggest the filly is likely to be playing for minor honours.
Lightly-raced individual hasn't added to debut maiden success over7f (good to soft) at Chepstow in June 2016. Couple of improved recent efforts have come in Class 6 contests, tongue tie tried now and may go well.
Winning debut for this yard in 6f AW maiden at Newcastle 17 days ago, that was a solid effort in first-time hood (retained) and can be given a chance to build on it back in handicap.
Winner over 7f at Ayr in August off a mark of 62, has been held by the ratings increase since five runs, though continues to give his running. Likely to do so once more without winning.
Twice a winner on the AW for Charles Hills, both times over 7f, has yet to show any discernible form on turf in four attempts but not completely written off just yet. Decent effort on second start for this yard over 7f at Newcastle (AW) last month.
Shed maiden tag at 16th time of asking in 7f Carlisle handicap (heavy) last month, having also gone close over this C&D (good to firm) in previous outing. In good hear and respected under the penalty.
Won a C&D maiden in July 2016 on good ground but struggled since in Flat handicaps, reverts here after a couple of feeble attempts over hurdles recently and is impossible to recommend on form.
A Salisbury maiden winner for Simon Crisford in September 2015, but not as of yet able to register a success for this trainer. Mark is sliding but has plenty improvement to find on formbook if hoping to have big say in this.
Forecasts
Donnelly's Rainbow (5/2), Art Echo (11/4), Tagur (7/1), Forever A Lady (15/2), Sexy Legs (10/1), Garter (12/1), Inglorious (14/1), Lucky Violet (16/1), Tafteesh (33/1), Geophony (50/1)
SEXY LEGS looked good when making a winning start for these connections on the AW at Newcastle 17 days ago over 6f. She'll stay this far and, on the best of her form in Ireland, is on a very workable mark now reverting back into handicapping. Art Echo comes here off a solid effort at Chepstow and won three times this year while Tagur had a bit in hand when landing a first success at Carlisle on testing ground last month and is capable of being involved off this 4lb higher rating. Donnelly's Rainbow is still lightly-raced and has shown some promise in recent starts.
- Sexy Legs
- Tagur
- Art Echo
