Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Sophie Clements⁽⁷⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 69

11/2

Third in a bumper last winter. Has shaped with a bit of promise in 3 qualifying runs around 1m and rates a possible improver now handicapping up in trip.

Form: 545

Lockerbie⁸¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Christian Howarth⁽⁵⁾| T: W J Haggas| OR: 73| BF

6/5

Improved on her AW efforts over winter when third in 1m Ripon maiden in July. Related to some smart sorts over middle-distances so big surprise if there isn't more to come now handicapping up in trip.

Form: 8-53

Sky Bright³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Hannah Fraser⁽⁷⁾| T: E Walker| OR: 72| D

7/4

Scored at Leicester and Bath in recent months but found run of good form coming to a halt at Sandown (9f, good) last time. Back down in grade here so could get back on track.

Swinton Noon^v¹¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Erika Parkinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 67| D

8/1

Dual AW winner at the start of the year but well held in 2 outings on turf in May and has yet to prove she's as effective on the grass. First outing for 4 months.

Forecasts

Lockerbie (6/5), Sky Bright (7/4), Bascule (2/1), Tele Red (11/2), Swinton Noon (8/1)

The obvious one is LOCKERBIE who very much has the profile of one likely to go on to better things in handicaps. Tele Red, another with the scope for progress now handicapping, and Bascule can fight it out for the forecast spot.
