Akvavera²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 92| D

11/1

Found her form last autumn, winning handicaps at Sandown and Epsom before stepping up in class. Tailed off on return at Goodwood, and fared only a little better in a Group 3 at Epsom last time. Has more chance back in a handicap, but still risky.

Form: 5114-77

Pure Shores¹⁷⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: R Kingscote| T: Ian Williams| OR: 79| D

5/1

Made good progress on turf at the backend of last season, winning a couple of races in the space of a week at Nottingham and Bath. Not seen since finishing second at Kempton in January, and entitled to be rusty on return from such a break.

Form: 11843-2

Marilyn^p³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: R Havlin| T: S L Keightley| OR: 77| CD

33/1

Completed a hat-trick when winning over C&D last season when trained by Chris Wall. Weakened fairly tamely on reappearance for new yard at Yarmouth last month, however, and remains 7lb higher than last success.

Form: 15487-8

Hunni¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Charles Bishop| T: Tom Clover| OR: 76| C

5/1

Reliable sort who seems immune to ground conditions, and ran another respectable race when third of 7 to Oud Metha Bridge at Yarmouth last time. Eased 1lb by the handicapper, and has place claims once more, for all her win record in modest.

Form: 3234-63

Gallic⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: S W Kelly| T: E Walker| OR: 85| D

7/2

Newcastle nursery winner (1m) who finished 1¾L third to the subsequent winners Aweedram and Archaeology on seasonal reappearance at the Craven Meeting. Didn't build on that last time, but worth another chance back at this venue.

Form: 4341-34

(5)

Clara Peeters²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Rossa Ryan| T: G & J Moore| OR: 82

15/2

Salisbury winner who didn't fire on AW debut at Chelmsford. Showed that form to be wrong when producing a career best on Goodwood return, and probably best to ignore a lesser effort back on Polytrack at Kempton last time.

Form: 2155-28

(7)

Ocean Paradise^h¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: David Egan| T: C Hills| OR: 81| D

13/8

115,000 New Approach filly who belied big odds on debut in April when good second in a soft-ground Newbury maiden. Matched that form when winning at Nottingham on latest start, and goes handicapping off a fair mark with the prospect of more to come.

Form: 231

Forecasts

Ocean Paradise (13/8), Gallic (7/2), Ummalnar (4/1), Hunni (5/1), Pure Shores (5/1), Clara Peeters (15/2), Akvavera (11/1), Marilyn (33/1)

The form of her third here at the Craven Meeting has been well advertised by the pair who beat her, so it can pay to ignore a slightly disappointing effort from GALLIC last time. On a similar note, Clara Peeters hasn't fired on either AW outing, so is best judged on a good second to one who started favourite at Royal Ascot, and she merits respect, along with handicap debutante Ocean Paradise, who has run well on all starts to date, albeit showing her best form on a soft surface.
