Selected odds by:

(6)

Trinity Lake⁸⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: D Nolan| T: D Carroll

13/2

7f good ground winner on debut in April. Probably ran to similar level under his penalty here the following month. Off since and work to do to give the weight away to rivals who have shown promise.

Form: 16

(8)

Hunters Step²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: N Wilson

100/1

Beat just the one rival home when tailed off only start over 1m3f at Carlisle last month and hard to make a case for today.

Form: 7

(3)

Morning Duel^t²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: D O'Meara| OR: 77| BF

10/1

Has made the frame in all three runs to date but the second one, on good to soft ground was his least convincing effort and owners retained jockey prefers Critical Time.

Form: 332

(10)

Rent's Dew

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby

20/1

Sixth foal. Half-brother to stout stayer Dew Pond and will surely be seen in better light when trying longer trips further down the line.

Form:

(2)

Beauty Of Deira²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: P Cosgrave| T: H Palmer| BF

11/4

Similar level of form both starts at this trip when runner-up each time firstly on soft at Newbury and then on the AW. More to come though slightly further could be her optimum trip.

Form: 22

(4)

Critical Time²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: D Tudhope| T: W J Haggas

7/2

Both runs to date on good ground and took a big step forward on most recent when chasing home one who has since finished second in a Sandown handicap. Can improve again and sure to play a major role.

Form: 52

(5)

Eva Maria³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey

2/1

Promise on belated debut over C&D last month when not knocked about in 5L third. The winner, second and fourth have all won since to give the form a solid look and with normal improvement has to be a serious contender with that experience gained.

Form: 3

(9)

Happy Face^t¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: C Lee| T: H Palmer

14/1

10L fourth of seven on recent Newmarket debut. Can improve but needs to and yard look to have better claims with Beauty Of Deira.

Form: 4

(7)

Laulloir¹⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: P Mulrennan| T: K A Ryan

50/1

25/1 when mid division on AW debut in the winter and then withdrawn having refused to enter the stalls at Redcar in June. Needs to take a major step forward to get involved.

Form: 5

(1)

Nataleena⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: A Mullen| T: B Haslam

100/1

Has shown next to nothing at huge prices in pair of 1m2f maidens and impossible to make a case for on this drop down in trip.

Form: 84

Forecasts

Eva Maria (2/1), Beauty Of Deira (11/4), Critical Time (7/2), Trinity Lake (13/2), Morning Duel (10/1), Happy Face (14/1), Rent's Dew (20/1), Laulloir (50/1), Nataleena (100/1), Hunters Step (100/1)

Not too many can be given a serious chance in this novice and a chance is taken with EVA MARIA who comes from a debut run that has been boosted by those who finished around here. Critical Time is the logical danger with Danny Tudhope choosing him and Beauty Of Deira can fill the places.
