Flower Of Scotland¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 76| BF| D

8/13

Winner at Haydock in July. 7/4, creditable second of 6 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, good) 18 days ago. Remains on a plausible mark and she has to enter calculations.

Form: 425-212

Galah³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 77

3/1

9/2, third of 5 in handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, soft) 37 days ago. On a good mark judged on peak 2-y-o form, but she's yet to scale the same heights this year.

Form: 126-543

(2)

Cafe Sydney¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Mollie Phillips⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 62| D

9/1

Two wins from 5 runs this year. 16/1, good third of 6 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, good) 12 days ago. Likely to make her presence felt, but may ultimately prove vulnerable to younger legs here.

Form: 1-11963

(3)

Tiki Fire³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 67

6/1

13/2, fifth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good) 36 days ago. Doesn't look especially progressive and she'll probably find one or two too good.

Form: 633-545

Forecasts

Flower Of Scotland (8/13), Riches And Rubies (11/4), Galah (3/1), Fire Eyes (4/1), Tiki Fire (6/1), Cafe Sydney (9/1)

RICHES AND RUBIES has progressed since switched to handicaps and looks capable of defying a penalty following last week's breakthrough success when upped to this trip at Beverley. Flower of Scotland has done little wrong in her 3 starts this year and another bold show is likely. She is clear second choice ahead of Galah, who would be a threat if reproducing something akin to her peak 2-y-o form.
