Will To Win¹¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 97

7/2

Progressive 6f AW sprint handicapper won four in a row prior to finishing second at Lingfield in March off 1lb lower mark. Returns from break and drops back to 5f first time but is a fascinating contender for yard in decent form.

Form: 51-1112

Electric Ladyland^p¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 89| D

17/2

Won three times last term at this trip and made winning return at Godowood two weeks ago. Weakened 1f out in Royal Ascot 5f h'cap last time and has a bit to find off just 1llb lower.

Form: 1-33010

Spanish Angel⁵^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: William Carver⁽⁵⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 81| CD

3/1

Led close home over C&D last week under champion jockey and turns out again under 6lb penalty but with useful 5lb allowance of young apprentice rider offsetting most of the extra burden. Solid chance if things go his way.

Form: 4241-31

Bettys Hope¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Angus Villiers⁽⁵⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 85| D

11/2

Rattled off midsummer hat-trick as a juvenile last term concluding with valuable win in Newbury sales race. Struggled off much higher marks final two starts 2019 but ran OK second run back when close fourth at Goodwood 5f. 1lb lower now.

Form: 1159-64

(6)

Garsman¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: S A Gray| T: M Appleby| OR: 83| D

15/2

3-4 since joining current handler and showed fine attitude when battling to half-length triumph at Newmarket 5f two weeks ago. 6lb higher but is in fine form and another bold show is more than likely.

Form: 38-1151

Poets Dance¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: David Probert| T: Rae Guest| OR: 82| BF| D

3/1

Lingfield 5f novice winner last term and went close when second to Garsman at HQ on seasonal reappearance two weeks ago. 2lb better off now with that rival and there should be litle to separate the pair on revised terms.

Form: 22210-2

Lady Quickstep²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: George Rooke⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 77| D

14/1

Made winning debut at Brighton 5.5f last season and twice came up against talented Liberty Beach in subsequent starts. Absent one year and looked rusty at Haydock recently but down 2lb and will strip fitter this time so improvement quite likely.

Form: 1024-8

Forecasts

Spanish Angel (3/1), Poets Dance (3/1), Will To Win (7/2), Bettys Hope (11/2), Garsman (15/2), Electric Ladyland (17/2), Rayong (12/1), Lady Quickstep (14/1)

A tight-knit sprint handicap with all eight runners having a chance. Spanish Angel won over C&D last week and should go well again under his penalty, and Will To Win has done very well on AW and could be anything now switching to turf. That said, RAYONG is a narrow preference after a good 7th in a hot handicap at Royal Ascot earlier this month. He will be sharper for that and the 2lb lower mark really helps his cause. Garsman and Poets Dance, first and second at Newmarket last week, are handicapped to tie this time and both have a chance, while Bettys Hope is not out of it off her new mark if back to the form of last summer's big sales race triumph.
