Miss O Connor⁸⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Georgia Cox⁽³⁾| T: W J Haggas| D

2/5

Supported ahead of her successful debut at Gowran Park in May, when she won going away (1m, yld/soft). Has changed hands privately since then, and now makes debut for a top trainer who may be able to find enough improvement in her to defy a penalty.

Form: 1

Al Moataz¹²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Botti

12/1

25-1 and held on debut at Kempton in March. Since gelded and returns needing significant improvement to feature.

Form: 6

(12)

Capricorn Prince³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore

100/1

Big prices and well beaten in both runs so far. Can only watch this time.

Form: 00

(2)

Goldfox Grey¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: A Mullen| T: R Brisland

100/1

50-1 and went badly left under pressure on debut, before being eased when beaten at Newmarket (7f, good) recently. Watching brief this time.

Form: 9

Inteldream

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Aaron Jones⁽³⁾| T: M Botti

25/1

38,000gns foal. £45,000 2yo. Third foal of a 6f-7f AW winner (including Listed). Trainer's three-year-olds just 4% this season, so probably needs this experience.

Form:

(4)

Riverfront

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Joshua Bryan⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding

8/1

Half-brother to a US 5f 2yo winner and a Swedish 6f winner, out of a French 1m winner. Represents a good stable that is 15% with its three-year-olds. Could make a nice debut.

Form:

(11)

Sharp Talk²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Vincent C Y Ho| T: S L Keightley

66/1

Not devoid of ability on debut, but took a backward step when tried on turf at Lingfield last time. Likely to make more appeal in low grade handicaps.

Form: 84

(6)

Pamper⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: George Wood| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 72| BF

9/2

Best effort of three to date came on her second start, when 3½L third in a Beverley maiden (7½f, good to soft). Would have place claims again here if running to something like that level of form.

Form: 3-36

(3)

Sally Hope

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Joey Haynes| T: J Gallagher

33/1

Half-sister to German/Belgian/French 5½f-1m winner Darrell Rivers, out of a maiden from 6f-1m. Others make greater appeal on pedigree.

Form:

Storm Eleanor⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Josephine Gordon| T: H Morrison

16/1

50-1 and beaten 18L into 10th place on debut at Chepstow in May. Has been given some time since then, but needs a big step up on that in this field.

Form: 0

(8)

Winalotwithalittle

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: N Mackay| T: J R Jenkins

66/1

Half-sister to five sprint winners, the best being Listed-placed 5f AW juvenile Going Straight. Dam unraced half-sister to 5f/6f 2yo Group 2 winner Easycall. Stable not particularly firing at present. Looks one to watch on debut.

Form:

(15)

Ximena^h1⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: W Jarvis

50/1

Made marginal improvement on a moderate debut when dropped back to 7f last time, but impossible to make a case for her on what we have seen so far. Hood now fitted.

Form: 70

Forecasts

Miss O Connor (2/5), Burning Topic (5/2), Pamper (9/2), Riverfront (8/1), Al Moataz (12/1), Storm Eleanor (16/1), Inteldream (25/1), Sally Hope (33/1), Ximena (50/1), Auntie June (50/1), Sharp Talk (66/1), Winalotwithalittle (66/1), Amber Jet (66/1), Goldfox Grey (100/1), Capricorn Prince (100/1)

Not many obvious contenders here, but among them are Pamper, who could make the frame, newcomer Riverfront, and Burning Topic. However, MISS O CONNOR looked potentially useful on her belated debut and is taken to defy a penalty on her first run for William Haggas.
