Wild Thunder^b1³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 87

40/1

Ran well on handicap debut last term at Doncaster (1m) but someway short of that effort on return at Haydock. May have needed the run and tried in first-time blinkers here.

Form: 65226-7

Hot Summer²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 85

10/1

Off the mark when long odds-on for 1m Windsor novice event 20 days ago and certainly wasn't stopping so step up to 1m2f makes him an interesting handicap debutant.

Form: 242-21

Bright Eyed Eagle²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: E Walker| OR: 83| BF

9/4

An unexposed individual that got off the mark in a three-runner handicap at Goodwood last month over 1m4f. Made rapid progress before tiring over 1m3½f at Windsor latest (third of six) so suspect today's trip will be ideal.

Form: 23-13

Tenbury Wells²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 82| D

15/8

$1,600,000 yearling by Medaglia D'oro got his act together latest when an impressive winner of a 1m2f Chelmsford novice. Has to be a chance he can come forward again now so looks a big player here.

Form: 7-41

(3)

Lady Sansa²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 78| D

7/1

Won readily on second start at Chelmsford over 1m2f and looked the sort to stay on the right side of there as she showed a nice turn of foot and good attitude; shortlisted here.

Form: 31

Fruition^p1²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 77

11/2

Lingfield winner (1m) last November. Third on handicap bow at Doncaster but a shade disappointing when third of four at Newmarket latest (1m2f). Down 2lb and first time cheekpieces fitted.

Form: 931-33

(5)

Intercessor²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Cieren Fallon⁽³⁾| T: J Gallagher| OR: 71

100/1

Sprang one of the biggest surprises of recent times when a 200/1 winner at Newbury (1m) penultimately. Last of 13 since in Doncaster handicap so must improve for the extra 2f here.

Form: 6-10

(4)

Molinari¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: David Egan| T: W R Muir| OR: 69| D

14/1

Off the mark at the sixth time of asking when landing a 1m2f Windsor class 6. Upped 3lb for this warmer contest so others preferred.

Form: 605-431

Forecasts

Tenbury Wells (15/8), Bright Eyed Eagle (9/4), Fruition (11/2), Lady Sansa (7/1), Hot Summer (10/1), Molinari (14/1), Zambezi Magic (20/1), Wild Thunder (40/1), Intercessor (100/1)

Some likable profiles here with a few potentially ahead of the handicapper. Recent Chelmsford winner TENBURY WELLS for the in-form champion trainer John Gosden makes the most appeal. This daughter of Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf winner Dayatthespa looks likely to come forward again now having won in impressive fashion. Twice raced Lady Sansa is also respected after winning at Chelmsford latest herself. Bright Eyed Eagle made a lot of ground up quickly last time so stepping back in trip can play to his strengths.
