Mellow Magic¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Joshua Bryan| T: A M Balding| OR: 83

7/4

Winner at Windsor in April. 11/1, career-best effort when third of 18 in Northumberland Vase at Newcastle (16.2f) 13 days ago, rallying having been outpaced 3f out. Running consistently well, she's fancied to be in the mix again.

Form: 2-12233

Rozalia³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Jonny Peate⁽⁵⁾| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 78

7/2

Very lightly raced for a 5-y-o but seemingly making up for lost time, scoring at Lingfield in May before following up at Goodwood (12f, good to firm) 5 weeks ago. Significantly upped in trip and a bold bid is anticipated for the hat-trick.

Form: 328/311

Single⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: George Bass⁽⁵⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 78

7/2

It's now fourteen runs since last win in 2021 but she ran up to her best when second of 6 in handicap at Sandown (14f, good, 12/1) 7 days ago, possibly helped by way race developed. Consistency hasn't been her forte so needs to back that up here.

Form: 43-0492

Hellenista^p1²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Sean Kirrane⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 65| D

5/1

Going through a good spell at the moment and showed a good attitude to narrowly resume winning ways at Redcar just under 3 weeks ago. Nudged up just 2 lb and looks sure to go well again with first-time cheekpieces applied.

Form: 552121

Nikhi¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 77

7/1

Ran respectably back on all-weather when fifth of 8 in handicap (10/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 15 days ago. She's bred to stay further so there's every chance she could have a say in proceedings back against her own sex.

Form: 31-2745

Forecasts

Mellow Magic (7/4), Rozalia (7/2), Single (7/2), Hellenista (5/1), Nikhi (7/1)

Impossible to rule out any of the quintet but HELLENISTA gets the verdict to continue her good work and bring up a third success in recent weeks. She's proven at the trip and first-time cheekpieces could eke out that bit extra. Top-weight Mellow Magic is running consistently well so she shades the vote for second over the hat-trick seeking Rozalia.
