Supaulette^b,t¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Danny Redmond⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 67| D

10/1

In better form May/June winning over 7f at Thirsk on good ground before the handicapper started to tighten his grip (5lb above last winning mark). Took a step back in the right direction last time but ground/course remain question marks for now.

Bedtime Bella^v¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S P Davis⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 64| D

5/1

Scored on just her second run for this yard at Hamilton last time over 6f beating Blank Canvas comfortably in a minor event. Revised weights suggest it will be close with her old rival again; the fact that she's proven on soft/heavy ground a plus.

Forever A Lady³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Vincent C Y Ho| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 60| C| D

9/4

Suited by the give in the ground when resuming winning ways at Ayr over this trip last month (stamina came into play, won over further). Handled conditions like she will face today well last time; course winner over 7f; sound chance off this mark.

Blank Canvas¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: J Fanning| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 60

8/1

Handicap debut having been beaten by Bedtime Bella over 6f at Hamilton last time (good ground); faces very different conditions now. May develop in handicaps (4lb better off with winner from last time); speedy sort though, may not last home.

Form: 832

Pearl Of Qatar¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Jason Hart| T: T Davidson| OR: 58

6/1

Well backed on her stable debut over 6f (AW); turned in her best effort of the season especially as she raced close to an overly strong pace. That performance makes her interesting off the same mark if she can handle the different conditions.

Form: 808272

Fox Hill¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Harrison Shaw⁽⁵⁾| T: E J Alston| OR: 58| D

11/4

Produced a career-best under different tactics when scoring with a bit in hand last time at Redcar (6f, good/soft). Slowly away she responded well to pressure (still showed the odd quirk); now has to reproduce that under far more testing conditions.

Form: 0-08221

Forecasts

Forever A Lady (9/4), Fox Hill (11/4), Bedtime Bella (5/1), Pearl Of Qatar (6/1), Blank Canvas (8/1), Supaulette (10/1)

It may well be that the ability to handle the likely testing conditions are more pertinent than weights and measures in what will be a stamina test even at this sprint trip. Both Fox Hill and Pearl Of Qatar ran races that promised more for the future last time but that duo face very different conditions here and that leaves a question mark against their chance. The stamina that Forever A Lady has shown in the past and her ability to stay 7f makes her a backable proposition although she may have to give best to BEDTIME BELLA who is already proven on a testing surface. Despite being 4lb worse off with Blank Canvas she’s taken to confirm that form and land her first handicap.
