Daryana²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Georgia Dobie⁽⁷⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 67

10/11

Produced a good effort when not beaten far to finish fourth here over 1m last time. Drop back to 7f asks a question, but she should remain competitive in this weak contest.

Form: 904704

(6)

Disey's Edge^p1⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: C Mason| OR: 42

66/1

Shown very little in short career so far, and on ratings she looks to have no chance. Impossible to fancy on all known form, and is best watched.

Form: 7459

Gleeful⁸¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Bentley| T: D O'Meara| OR: 69| BF

7/4

Frustrating eight-race maiden who has surprisingly been unable to improve for the switch to handicaps. This is a very weak race though, and perhaps the change of scenery may allow her to take form to new level.

Form: 4-44326

(3)

Mac Jetes³⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽⁵⁾| T: D Loughnane

25/1

Makes seasonal reappearance after almost a year off. Form in two career starts is not good enough to recommend her as a solid player, and she has a lot to prove on this return to the track.

Form: 60-

(7)

Plum Duff¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: M Blanshard

40/1

Sent off at 50/1 and 66/1 on both starts to date. Fair deal of improvement needed after being well-beaten last time out in small-field affair over C&D. This is quite a great deal easier though, and she could finish thereabouts.

Form: 83

(2)

Sagittarian Wind⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson

14/1

Although only a watching brief is advised today after the minimal amount of progress he made in three starts for former stable in Ireland, it will be interesting to see what her trainer can do with him.

Form: 0-00

(4)

Theban Air¹⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Cieren Fallon⁽³⁾| T: L Wadham

8/1

Things haven't gone to plan in her short career so far. Ran better than her finishing position suggests on debut, and then something was obviously amiss when he was dismounted at Kempton (7f; standard to slow) after pulling up.

Form: 7P

Forecasts

Daryana (10/11), Gleeful (7/4), Theban Air (8/1), Sagittarian Wind (14/1), Mac Jetes (25/1), Plum Duff (40/1), Disey's Edge (66/1)

A tremendously weak contest in which it would be a disappointment if GLEEFUL couldn't finally break his duck at the eighth attempt. She has been frustrating in her short career so far, but would hold major claims on some of her best form, and the change of scenery (moved to the David O'Meara yard) should hopefully be enough to see her come out on top. Daryana ran well most recently when just missing out on making the frame, and looks to be the chief threat to the selection as she drops back in trip, while Plum Duff should be able to sneak into the placings as she returns to calmer waters after having no chance with a John Gosden hotpot over C&D last time out.
