Global Wonder^p1⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: G Mosse| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 62

5/2

Runner up to subsequent Hamilton scorer Where's Jeff on stable debut at Newcastle last week (1m); capable of breaking the maiden tag fairly imminently and interesting to see the cheekpieces now added.

Form: 4-76422

(1)

Plentyinthetanksir^h²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S Donohoe| T: D M Simcock| OR: 60

10/3

Cost 40,000gns as a yearling, but not shown much promise so far; switched back to the AW after finishing last of eight on handicap debut over this trip at Yarmouth (good to firm) in June.

Form: 7898

(9)

Ventura Crest¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: T D Easterby| OR: 60

4/1

Still to break the maiden tag after ten attempts, but is getting closer and was caught on the line over 1m at Wetherby (good to firm) latest; finished over 3L behind Global Wonder (levels) on sole AW start in April.

Form: 029-522

(8)

Fanan^p¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Harry Bentley| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 58

6/1

Backward juvenile who has made only minimal progress in two starts this season, including when finishing fifth of six on handicap debut at Bath recently (1m, firm).

Form: 50-45

(6)

Formiga^p,t⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Lemos De Souza| T: J Santos| OR: 57

10/1

Ten race maiden who had the misfortune to bump into the heavily backed and well handicapped Pickett's Charge at Newcastle (1m) last week; could prove capable of building upon that improved effort with cheekpieces retained.

Form: 6-70952

(3)

Astroblaze¹⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: S W Kelly| T: M H Tompkins| OR: 57

16/1

Off the track since January when failing to handle the final bend at Lingfield (ran wide); dropped 2lb in the weights, but more needed for the step up from 7f; dam a 1m+ winner.

Form: 079-55

(5)

Lulu Star²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Shelley Birkett⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 55

20/1

Continues to fall in the weights - dropped 10lb for four runs in handicaps; her best effort came over 1m at Newcastle in April when finishing 6¾L third to Odds On Oli (Global Wonder second).

Form: 347738

(10)

Prezzie^p¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: M Dwyer| T: W R Muir| OR: 53| D

16/1

Sprung a 40/1 surprise when gifted an easy lead to score narrowly at Lingfield last month (form taken a few knocks since); earlier form very modest and the percentage call is too oppose from a wide draw off a 3lb higher mark.

Form: 960-701

(11)

Midnight In Paris^b1⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: R Winston| T: Mrs I G-Leveque| OR: 52

28/1

Drops back in trip after weakening (heavily eased) on handicap debut over 1m2f at Yarmouth last week; hard to identify any real positives from her earlier efforts, but the blinkers could bring about some improvement.

Form: 0857

(4)

Miss Mollie^b³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: F Norton| T: J G Given| OR: 45

16/1

Five-race maiden who has started at big prices in each start; not done anywhere near enough yet to say that she'll be able to figure positively.

Form: 6-8956

(7)

Ruby Sound¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Megan Ellingworth⁽⁷⁾| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 45

100/1

Finished last on four of her six starts (6f-1m2f), so couldn't be considered in any shape or form.

Form: 976-980

Forecasts

Global Wonder (5/2), Plentyinthetanksir (10/3), Ventura Crest (4/1), Fanan (6/1), Formiga (10/1), Miss Mollie (16/1), Prezzie (16/1), Astroblaze (16/1), Lulu Star (20/1), Midnight In Paris (28/1), Ruby Sound (100/1)

Not a strong race, with Prezzie the only winner amongst the field so far. Ventura Crest is likely to race towards the fore and he showed improved form off a two month break when caught on the line at Wetherby last month, whilst the likes of Formiga and GLOBAL WONDER were both runners-up at Newcastle last week. The advice is to stick with the top-weight; he bumped into the well handicapped subsequent winner Where's Jeff there and with cheekpieces now applied on his second start for Gay Kelleway, this could finally be his day in the limelight.
