Warofindependence²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 57| D

16/1

Sole win in 17 starts came on AW two starts back at Wolverhampton. Not disgraced under a penalty back at that course last time when unsuited by the slow gallop. Interesting runner if he gets a pace to aim from 2lb lower here.

Gemini⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: C Hills| OR: 65

7/2

Unplaced in three starts for this yard. Steps up in trip here and her dam is related to Irish Derby/Ascot Gold Cup winner so not ruled out if she improves for the greater stamina test on handicap debut.

Form: 7-85

(3)

Altra Vita²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 64| C| D

1/2

A winner here on her handicap debut over 1m6f and found the drop back to this trip no burden at Brighton last time. Only up 3lb for that and there's a strong chance of an uncontested lead here. Obvious claims for a yard in form.

Form: 059-11

Street Art^t⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: S Hitchcott| T: Mrs Tracey Barfoot-Saunt| OR: 46| D

100/1

A winner at Yarmouth in May 2017 but form completely tailed off subsequently and she's failed to beat a rival home in two outings this campaign. Has a fair bit to prove on debut for new yard from out of the handicap.

Form: 5600-09

(2)

No Equalisers³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Joey Haynes| T: J Gallagher| OR: 53

25/1

Yet to get competitive in any of his four starts this campaign including when well beaten at 150/1 on turf debut at Windsor last time. Back up in trip now and has plenty to find on form.

Form: 6660

(6)

Red Miracle^h²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: J F Egan| T: B R Millman| OR: 53

8/1

Yet to place in any of her six starts but showed a bit more promise last time at Windsor, although obviously well suited to being held up off a very strong pace. Needs to take a step forward to land a blow here.

Form: 569-786

Forecasts

Altra Vita (1/2), Gemini (7/2), Red Miracle (8/1), Warofindependence (16/1), No Equalisers (25/1), Street Art (100/1)

ALTRA VITA looks like a progressive filly and with Sir Mark Prescott's yard in such good form at present, she's hard to oppose. Warofindependence has found some form and can't be ruled out from his basement mark. Gemini rates as the type to improve on handicap debut.
