Max Guevara⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: W R Muir| OR: 65

14/1

Rounded off a hectic juvenile season with a respectable second in a 1m Windsor nursery (soft); is yet to offer any positive signals so far this season (0-3).

Form: 142-099

(2)

Your Mothers' Eyes^p¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Cieren Fallon⁽⁵⁾| T: A Bailey| OR: 63| BF| D

11/8

Despite being a beaten favourite on his last couple of starts, this Aussie Rules entire has run to a consistent level of form since winning over 7f at Brighton (good to firm) in April; enters the reckoning in a weak race.

Form: 821324

(1)

Rajman^h,t1¹¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: Tom Clover| OR: 62| D

16/1

Has done the bulk of his racing to date on the AW, winning from a 4lb lower mark at Lingfield (7f) in January; equipment applied on his first competitive start for 113 days.

Form: 03-5130

(10)

Princess Palliser¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 62

6/1

Six-race maiden who is arguably regressive; would hold a chance with Silvestre De Sousa aboard if able to reproduce her April Doncaster form (6f).

Form: 53-6469

(9)

Fancy Flyer²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁵⁾| T: D K Ivory| OR: 62

8/1

11-race maiden; well beaten on both starts in 2019 (5f-7f) showing no improvement whatsoever for a gelding operation; others rate as far more appealing.

Form: 5965-99

(11)

Shaleela's Dream¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J F Egan| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 61

9/2

Seven-race maiden; joined this trainer for 10,000gns in May (from Marco Botti); ran his best race on turf to date when finishing third of 13 to an odds-on favourite at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; chance.

Form: 537963

(6)

Poet's Magic²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Nicola Currie| T: J G Portman| OR: 60

12/1

Seven-race maiden; generally poor since making a pleasing handicap debut at Windsor (third) in April; 5lb lower but is difficult to enthuse over given her more recent efforts.

Form: 58-3980

(7)

Crimson Kiss¹⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Charlie Bennett| T: P Phelan| OR: 58

33/1

Sepoy filly; didn't show a great deal of promise in three AW starts (7f-1m) for Michael Bell; sold for £6,000 last month; kicks-off her life in handicap company for Pat Phelan off a 166-day absence.

Form: 95-9

(3)

Miss Pollyanna²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: R Ingram| OR: 55

25/1

Raced handily until weakening quickly from the three furlong pole on handicap debut at Nottingham (1m½f, good to soft) three weeks ago; 5lb lower over a potentially more suitable trip.

Form: 66-68

(4)

Lady Morpheus²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: G & J Moore| OR: 48

16/1

Exposed as a modest performer after five career starts; filled the runner-up berth over 7f on Polytrack at Kempton three weeks ago but was in a different parish to the 7L winner Comeonfeeltheforce.

Form: 070-02

(5)

Quarto Cavallo¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: J Quinn| T: A West| OR: 46

16/1

Ten-race maiden who has disappointed more often than not; fourth of 16 (beaten 1¾L) on her penultimate start but you wouldn't be banking on that form being reproduced.

Form: 900540

Forecasts

Your Mothers' Eyes (11/8), Shaleela's Dream (9/2), Princess Palliser (6/1), Fancy Flyer (8/1), Poet's Magic (12/1), Max Guevara (14/1), Lady Morpheus (16/1), Rajman (16/1), Quarto Cavallo (16/1), Miss Pollyanna (25/1), Crimson Kiss (33/1)

A poor finale. Despite being a beaten favourite on his last couple of starts the Brighton winner Your Mothers' Eyes rates as the form pick and is another useful ride for the promising claimer Cieren Fallon. Crimson Kiss kicks-off her life in handicap company for a new trainer and being untested on turf is far less exposed than some, but the tentative small-stakes selection is the Jane Chapple-Hyam trained SHALEELA'S DREAM. Formerly with Marco Botti this Oasis Dream gelding found the frame behind an odds-on shot at Yarmouth (7f) a fortnight ago and that form was given a timely boost with the runner-up Sonnet Rose winning on her very next start.
