Keep Busy¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 103| CD

10/3

Smart filly who resumed winning ways in 5f listed event here in June. Ran well in Goodwood Group 2 on penultimate start and whilst below form in France 3 weeks ago, she's likely to bounce back.

Form: 551759

(13)

Al Simmo⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: C Lee| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 75| BF| D

25/1

Thriving handicapper who gained fourth career success at Bath (5.7f) on penultimate start in August. Good second in class 4 event at Doncaster since but this demands another chunk of improvement.

Form: 111212

(7)

Bimble³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: P Hanagan| T: H Candy| OR: 82| D

18/1

Fairly useful 6f winner who is proving consistent in defeat this term, not disgraced when fourth in Pontefract listed event (6f) in August. However, work to do with a few here on these terms.

Form: 9-52334

(14)

Gellhorn⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 84| BF| D

22/1

Ex-French filly who has landed a pair of Newmarket handicaps (6f) this summer. Underfoot conditions looked against her at Goodwood (6f) in July and better showing not ruled out here.

Form: 651514

Queen Kahlua^t1⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Connor Beasley| T: S C Williams| OR: 87

80/1

Dual winner in France (7f) who ran best race for new stable when fifth in a Chester listed event (6f) 7 weeks ago, albeit not quite sustaining effort (later reported to have bled). Others preferred.

Form: 6-46685

(16)

Stars In The Night³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 85| D

150/1

Winner of AW handicaps on her first 3 outings this year. Effective on turf, runner-up in a Thirsk handicap (5f) 2 starts back. However, her most recent display at York was disappointing.

Form: 111820

(9)

Blackberry⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: G Lee| T: B Smart| OR: 87| D

66/1

Useful sort who showed loads of speed when forging clear to add to her tally at York (5.4f) in July. Hasn't scaled same heights since, no extra in fifth in Scarborough Stakes at Doncaster latest.

Form: 5-59145

(4)

Dandalla²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: B A Curtis| T: K R Burke| OR: 95| D

13/2

Useful as a 2-y-o (successful at Group 2 level). Yet to scale same heights this term, albeit not for first time not seen to best effect when fifth in Beverley Bullet last month. Not one to write off.

Form: 646055

(10)

Let's^t1²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: J M Sheridan| T: K J Condon| OR: 92| D

50/1

Back to winning ways in fillies' minor event at Limerick (1m) in June. Kept busy subsequently, not disgraced when midfield in 15-runner Tipperary Group 3 (7.5f) latest. Each-way claims in tongue tie.

Form: 045457

(5)

Noorban^v1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 86| CD

28/1

Resumed winning ways in a 5f handicap here in May and hard to knock consistency since, faring best of those held up when 2 lengths third of 8 at Ascot (5f) 13 days ago. Visor fitted upped in class.

Form: 234233

(8)

Operatic²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: P J McDonald| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 90| D

20/1

Two wins from 4 starts at 2 yrs and back on the up when getting on top close home at Windsor (5f) in July. Quickly back from blip when second at Newmarket (6f) recently and good showing not ruled out.

Form: 430192

Russian River^t⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Ray Dawson| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 94| D

28/1

Dundalk maiden winner (at 6f) who has held form well in listed company on turf without getting her head in front. Versatile as regards ground and another with claims of hitting the frame.

Form: 1-52466

(3)

Tenaya Canyon³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: P Mulrennan| T: E Walker| OR: 91| BF| D

15/2

Has a largely progressive profile, taking her form up another notch when coming from off the pace to win a 5f Doncaster handicap last month. Good fourth at York followed and she may yet do better.

Form: 751214

(12)

Teresa Mendoza^t⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: W J Lee| T: K J Condon| OR: 96| D

17/2

Curragh maiden winner (6f) who has run well in listed/Group contests in defeat this season, fourth in Group 3 Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh recently. Return to listed level rates a plus.

Form: 332734

(15)

Tweet Tweet³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Harrison Shaw| T: D Carroll| OR: 98| D

18/5

Most progressive filly who made it 3 wins from 4 starts this year at York (5f) in August, showing plenty of speed and tenacity when tackled. One to be interested in again up in grade.

Form: 23-1911

(1)

White Lavender²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Gary Carroll| T: J G Murphy| OR: 99| D

6/1

Landed big-field Navan maiden (5.7f) on debut in May. Creditable efforts next 3 starts and found jolt of improvement to finish runner-up in Tipperary listed race (5f) last time. May do better again.

Form: 14422

Forecasts

Keep Busy (10/3), Tweet Tweet (18/5), White Lavender (6/1), Dandalla (13/2), Tenaya Canyon (15/2), Teresa Mendoza (17/2), Bimble (18/1), Operatic (20/1), Gellhorn (22/1), Al Simmo (25/1), Noorban (28/1), Russian River (28/1), Let's (50/1), Blackberry (66/1), Queen Kahlua (80/1), Stars In The Night (150/1)

Course winner KEEP BUSY needs forgiving a lesser effort on her latest start in France 2 weeks ago but she's a smart, likeable filly as a rule with a host of excellent efforts to her name at a higher level and she's fancied to concede weight all round and resume winning ways. Tweet Tweet is most progressive and feared, along with fellow 3-y-os Russian River, Dandalla and White Lavender.
