Selected odds by:

(7)

Fleeting Freedom⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Joshua Bryan⁽⁵⁾| T: A Bailey| OR: 76

7/2

Maiden after ten starts, but she ran up to her best when fourth of 12 to Golden Guest in a 1m handicap at Doncaster last time. Handles firm ground, and should remain competitive.

Form: 4232-74

(3)

Make On Madam⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: J L Eyre| OR: 65| BF| D

7/2

Winner of a fast-ground 7½f handicap at Beverley in May, and has run to a similar level in defeat there since. Bit more required to defy current mark, but expected to give her running once more.

Form: 043153

Our Greta¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: B A Curtis| T: D Loughnane| OR: 64

20/1

Just 2lb higher than when winning 7f handicap at Yarmouth in October, but she has been below form so far this season, and didn't look an easy ride when starting out for current yard at Chester last time.

Form: 9150-85

(8)

Miss Sheridan¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Harrison Shaw⁽⁵⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 64| D

10/1

Front-runner who has been struggling to make a major impact this season, and below best when fifth of seven at Wetherby last time. Easing in the weights, but needs to show more before she can be backed with confidence.

Form: 449275

(5)

Space Talk²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: H J L Dunlop| OR: 72

7/2

High Chaparral filly who ran her best race when 4½L second of 12 to Pride's Gold in minor event at Wolverhampton last time. Open to progress now handicapping, but opening mark looks quite stiff.

Form: 622

(4)

Elation^p1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 71

5/1

Won a 6f novice at Ripon last year, but yet to build on that effort, and cheekpieces reached for after a disappointing run in blinkers at Salisbury last time.

Form: 513-496

(2)

Kirbec^b1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Connor Beasley| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 68

20/1

Not disgraced when fourth of five at Musselburgh on her reappearance, but well below that form when last of seven at Carlisle since, and blinkers quickly reached for.

Form: 3637-47

(6)

Cherubic^p¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrew Breslin⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 67| D

15/2

Front-running filly who won 1m handicap at Brighton last month, and improved again when when 4¼L third of 7 to Simply Breathless at Newmarket last time. Good value apprentice booked, and one to consider.

Form: 443513

Forecasts

Space Talk (7/2), Fleeting Freedom (7/2), Make On Madam (7/2), Elation (5/1), Cherubic (15/2), Miss Sheridan (10/1), Our Greta (20/1), Kirbec (20/1)

CHERUBIC posted a career-best effort in defeat at Newmarket recently, and has an excellent claimer taking over now, so she gets the vote to beat the consistent Make On Madam. Fleeting Freedom remains a maiden, but ran well last time, and should be thereabouts again.
