Settle Petal⁸^{(ex 5)}

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: P Phelan| OR: 59| CD

11/2

Chases a quick three-timer after a win at Lingfield (1m4f, AW standard) and one over C&D in late June. Does have 5lb extra to shoulder but she was comfortably on top last time and she might well be able to cope with this slight step up in grade.

Sweet Charity²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Oisin Murphy| T: D J Coakley| OR: 61| BF| D

9/1

Got going too late when she finished sixth behind Voice Of Calm at Lingfield last time; but that was he first race since October and she'll be sharper for the run. Now on 6lb better terms with that rival and has a good chance of reversing the form.

Form: 03550-6

Populaire⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: P J Dobbs| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 68

18/1

There is stamina in the pedigree so there's sufficient reason to expect the filly will cope with stepping up to this new trip. However, she's yet to display anything like a turn of foot and would have to grind this out with a much improved effort.

Form: 486-44

Lola Paige¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: K Shoemark| T: D O'Meara| OR: 68

50/1

Did show some promise when with William Haggas but she's made very little headway since joining her current yard and has stamina to prove now she tries 1m2f for the first time; others have more convincing claims.

Form: 2528-6

Vischio²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 68

9/1

A nicely-bred filly that seems to be getting better with each run; coped reasonably well with the step up to 1m2f on her handicap debut at Lingfield in June and likely there's more to come. Lacks experience on turf, though; the betting can help.

Form: 7-544

Affable²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 67

7/1

Upped to 1m2f for her handicap debut at Goodwood last month and wasn't disgraced considering that she ran a bit too freely in early stages. She ticks the right boxes on pedigree and could be a different proposition now the fizz has been burnt off.

Form: 355

Decora¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: M R Channon| OR: 65| BF

11/2

Been consistent so far and coped well with the step up in distance here last tine out. Nudged up 1lb for that run but very capable of at least making the frame again given that she's shown good heart in her races up to press.

Form: 43-233

Best Address^h¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Levey| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 65

25/1

Similar in profile to her stablemate Populaire in that she needs to improve for the step up in distance; notable that Pat Dobbs switches allegiances to her travel companion, the betting will again be informative but this filly looks second in line.

Form: 0-77

(9)

Wand²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: R Kingscote| T: L Wadham| OR: 64

22/1

Three runs in novice stakes produced very little to get excited about and it's likely this filly will be playing a minor role on her handicap debut unless the step up in trip brings about an inspired effort.

Form: 96-0

Itmusthavebeenlove¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: R L Moore| T: M L W Bell| OR: 63

7/2

With a top jockey booked and her stamina for the trip now proven, all looks in place for bold effort. She's been raised 3lb since her last run but there's plenty of room for improvement now she's gaining experience; one for the list for sure.

Form: 4505-2

September Power¹⁹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: S De Sousa| T: R Varian| OR: 63

11/2

Well held in three starts at the back-end of 2019 but it's entirely feasible the step up to this sort of trip will open new doors for this daughter of Mastercraftsman. Needs close attention in the betting on her handicap debut.

Forecasts

Itmusthavebeenlove (7/2), Voice Of Calm (5/1), Decora (11/2), September Power (11/2), Settle Petal (11/2), Affable (7/1), Lady De Vega (7/1), Sweet Charity (9/1), Vischio (9/1), Filles De Fleur (12/1), Populaire (18/1), Wand (22/1), Best Address (25/1), Lola Paige (50/1)

A very tricky race to get to grips with and it's likely the betting market will be an active place. Lady De Vega and Itmusthavebeenlove are closely matched after their encounter at Leicester 11 days ago, while Decora, Voice Of Calm, and Sweet Charity are all worth keeping tabs on for future reference as much as for today. However, it can be worth siding with the well-bred AFFABLE, who has proven stamina for the trip and could be hard to master if she settles better this time. September Power is yet another for close scrutiny in the betting. Settle Petal is respected in hat-trick bid but the penalty makes it a lot tougher.
