Garsman²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Cieren Fallon⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 86| D

4/1

Winner of one race from 10 starts on turf for the Garswood gelding. Has finished runner-up on his last three starts since winning a Newmarket 5f handicap in June off a 9lb lower mark. Gives the impression we may not have seen the best of him yet.

Form: 151222

Pop Dancer¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A W Carroll| OR: 82| CD

10/3

Made it an impressive three wins from eight starts on turf when landing the spoils over C&D last month off a 2lb lower mark. Likely to give another good account.

Form: 050-751

Pink Sands¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 82| BF| D

7/2

Made all to win her maiden at Ripon in June before finishing third of eight runners at Yarmouth over 6f last month. Big danger back over this trip on handicap debut.

Form: 21-3

Minhaaj³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jim Crowley| T: M J Attwater| OR: 80| D

20/1

No surprise when she got off the mark at Newcastle in December having shown decent form beforehand. Pleasing effort on return to action at Chelmsford over 6f last month, but more needed back on turf.

Form: 2831-5

Newyorkstateofmind⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: David Egan| T: W R Muir| OR: 76| D

4/1

Continues to run well in defeat over similar trips at Bath and on latest start at Goodwood at the end of last month running Glamorous Anna close on decent ground. Capable of another determined effort.

Form: 21-2722

Agent Shiftwell^t¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: S C Williams| OR: 73| CD

4/1

Running with credit in defeat until getting off the mark on turf over C&D last month off a 4lb lower mark as the 11/8f. May be capable of better still.

Forecasts

Pop Dancer (10/3), Pink Sands (7/2), Garsman (4/1), Newyorkstateofmind (4/1), Agent Shiftwell (4/1), Ishvara (4/1), Minhaaj (20/1)

The Willie Haggas-trained Pink Sands can give a good account from the front under jockey Tom Marquand in the early stages of the contest, but he may make it easy for ISHVARA as the Robert Cowell-trained filly gets a nice pull in to the race. The three-year-old can benefit from the initial speed to win for the third time in her career with Agent Shiftwell for trainer Stuart Williams and C&D winner, Pop Dancer emerging as her biggest dangers.
