Beholding¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 92| D

9/4

Impressive winner of back-to-back 1½m AW novice events last month. Mark for this handicap/turf debut is no gift, but she's clearly very promising and needs taking seriously.

Form: 311

Nell Quickly⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: D J Coakley| OR: 89| D

10/3

Progressive filly who has landed Salisbury handicaps the last twice. 5 lb rise for latest success looks fair and, unexposed at this trip, she has to enter calculations with Oisin Murphy aboard.

Form: 4-21211

Sammarr¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Cameron Noble⁽³⁾| T: R Varian| OR: 89| C

8/1

Firmly back on track following odds-on AW reverse earlier this year when making a winning handicap/turf debut here (1¼m) a fortnight ago. Nudged up just 2 lb and further progress likely over new trip.

Form: 1-31

(4)

Babindi⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R L Moore| T: W J Haggas| OR: 88| BF

14/1

Did the job well when opening her account at Bath in July and has followed that with a couple of near misses, latterly over 1¼m here. However, more needed up in class against some promising types.

Form: 224122

(2)

Jasmine Joy^h¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: W Buick| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 85

6/1

Raised her game when making a successful handicap debut upped to 11.5f at Yarmouth last time. 6 lb rise tolerable and she's a big player with further progress possible.

Form: 4-2421

(3)

Mellow Magic³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Hayley Turner| T: A M Balding| OR: 77| BF

12/1

Placed on each of her five starts in maiden/novice company, including when second to the useful Sayyida over C&D in May. However, she's pitched into a tough race for this handicap debut.

Form: 32233

(7)

Crema Inglesa^h¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Saffie Osborne⁽⁵⁾| T: J A Osborne| OR: 76

9/2

Much improved this season, producing a career-best when registering third success of the campaign upped to 1¼m at Sandown recently. More needed up 3 lb and in trip in this higher-grade handicap.

Form: 4-15151

Forecasts

Beholding (9/4), Nell Quickly (10/3), Crema Inglesa (9/2), Jasmine Joy (6/1), Sammarr (8/1), Mellow Magic (12/1), Babindi (14/1)

Several promising fillies to consider in this intriguing contest. SAMMARR displayed a willing attitude when making a successful handicap debut here recently and she gets the nod with further improvement anticipated. Beholding represents a top yard and she has to be feared following her bloodless victories on the all-weather last month, while Jasmine Joy and Nell Quickly are others to consider.
