Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 60| BF| D

1/1

Wore cheekpieces and tongue tie (both retained since) when winning over 6f at Wolverhampton last month. Fair effort off this 5lb higher mark subsequently and is of interest once more.

Mercers²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: P Butler| OR: 59| C

Broke her maiden at the 28th attempt when winning over this trip at Windsor (good-to-soft) on her penultimate outing. Struggled over 7f subsequently and has placed here in the past.

Wild Flower¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Rossa Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: J C Fox| OR: 56| D

7/1

Windsor (good-to-firm) winner over 6f in August and best effort since came when third at Wolverhampton over today's trip last time out. Draw could have been kinder.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: H Crouch| T: J J Bridger| OR: 55| D

5/1

Winning for the fifth time when victorious over 5f at Windsor (soft) last time out. Races off a 5lb lower AW mark today but has yet to place in seven AW appearances.

Napping^h1¹⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Patrick Pilley| T: Mrs A L M King| OR: 55

20/1

Placed over this C&D in a maiden contest in April but unraced since finishing well beaten on turf her two months later. Wears a hood and worth a check in the market on handicap debut.

Form: 535

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: J J Bridger| OR: 50

16/1

Successful for the first time in 38 starts when winning a Class 7 over 5f at Kempton last time out. Races off a 3lb higher mark today and likely to find this contest tougher.

Encapsulated³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: R Ingram| OR: 49| CD

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Nicola Currie⁽⁵⁾| T: J E Long| OR: 45| D

Forecasts

Zenovia (1/1), Flowing Clarets (5/1), Wild Flower (7/1), Arcanista (8/1), Mercers (14/1), Deer Song (16/1), Multi Quest (16/1), Napping (20/1), Rapid Rise (25/1), Encapsulated (25/1), Monarch Maid (25/1), Dramatic Voice (100/1)

The fitting of a tongue tie and cheekpieces appear to have benefited ZENOVIA and she can give trainer Archie Watson a victory in this competitive handicap. The headgear combined with the drop in trip saw the filly run out the winner of a handicap at Wolverhampton on her penultimate start and she can take this at the chief expense of Mercers who ran well to finish fourth at Windsor last time out and debuts for a new trainer today. This return to 6f should suit Arcanista who can claim third in this contest.
