Hello Me²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: J Parr| OR: 75| D

13/2

Dual 6f juvenile winner but yet to match that form in two runs this term, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Bit more needed.

Form: 121-06

(8)

First Lott¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: M Harley| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 75| D

15/2

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable sixth of 9 in handicap (5/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 11 days ago, doing too much too soon. Needs to step forward now.

Form: 514-036

Libertine Belle^t⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Marco Ghiani⁽³⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 74| D

4/1

On the up since tongue strap went on, and she posted a career best when winning 17-runner handicap (5/2) at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Not taken lightly despite 4 lb rise.

Form: 42-3521

Went backwards from her return when eighth of 10 in handicap (10/1) at Chester (6.1f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Big step forward is required.

Form: 2218-38

Castana Dia³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C F Wall| OR: 71| D

11/4

Much improved on her return when cosily landing 9-runner maiden at Yarmouth (6f, good) 31 days ago. Into handicaps now off a good opening mark and she has to be taken seriously.

Form: 325-1

Mummy Bear¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 70| D

16/1

Opened her account in 6f Kempton handicap in March but below form on her last two runs, laboured fourth at Leicester (8.2f, good) 19 days ago. Back down in trip and others more persuasive.

Form: 231494

Seeking Perfection³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽⁵⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 69| D

25/1

Fair 6f AW winner in February but last of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, soft) on turf bow 32 days ago, weakening quickly. Has a bit to prove now.

Form: 21530

Hot Chesnut⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: George Downing| T: D K Ivory| OR: 67

33/1

Modest maiden. Never-dangerous fourth of 10 in 7f minor event at Chelmsford City (50/1) 52 days ago. Makes handicap debut but others are better treated.

Form: 354

Velocistar²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Josephine Gordon| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 63| D

11/2

Scored at Ripon in May and has continued in good form, though hung right and demoted a place to third in handicap at Chester (6.1f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Needs considering.

Form: 1-9612D

Grey Sparkle²³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Cieren Fallon| T: C Hills| OR: 60| D

14/1

Forecasts

Castana Dia (11/4), Libertine Belle (4/1), Velocistar (11/2), Hello Me (13/2), First Lott (15/2), Credible (14/1), Grey Sparkle (14/1), Mummy Bear (16/1), Seeking Perfection (25/1), Hot Chesnut (33/1), Perfect Sign (33/1)

CASTANA DIA made a taking return when scoring at Yarmouth last month and appears to have got in lightly for her handicap bow so is fancied to follow up here. Libertine Belle hasn't looked back since the tongue strap went on and she rates a big threat despite going up 4 lb for her Goodwood success. In-form Velocistar rates the pick of the remainder and a solid place prospect.
