Rainbow Mirage¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: George Rooke| T: M G Rimell| OR: 66| CD

5/2

C&D winner. 3 wins from 12 runs this year, the latest at Leicester (6f) in May. Creditable third of 7 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 13 days ago, unlucky not to finish closer. No surprise to see her go well again.

Social Contact²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 69

10/1

Southwell novice winner (7f) on final start for Roger Varian in January but yet to scale same heights in 4 starts since, fifth of 7 in handicap at Haydock (7f, good, 16/1) 23 days ago. Drops in trip now.

Form: 2-17965

Ischia¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 69

4/1

Much-improved when runner-up on qualifying run in a C&D novice in June. Not disgraced when fourth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 18 days ago and she's a player given her low-mileage profile back on turf.

Form: 08-24

(2)

Pepsi Cat^t²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: S Donohoe| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 68| D

3/1

Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm, 11/4) 22 days ago, making all. Rates a live player once more from 4 lb higher mark.

Form: 2251

Port Noir^t,v¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Aidan Keeley⁽⁵⁾| T: R Stephens| OR: 63| D

4/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 11/2, fifth of 8 in handicap at Newbury (7f, good to firm) 17 days ago, weakening last ½f. Return to 6f will hold no fears and she's fallen below her last winning mark.

Form: 246825

Alaskan Jewel³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 67

22/1

2 wins from 6 runs this year. 25/1, career best when making second start for new yard a winning one when taking 9-runner handicap at Bath (5f, good to firm) 32 days ago, staying on to lead near line. Return to 6f should hold no fears on that evidence.

Form: 130381

Romantic Memories⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 59

20/1

Maiden who got back on track when runner-up over 6f at Salisbury in June, doing her best work at the finish. Not seen to best effect when ninth of 11 in a C&D handicap later that month, racing wide and she's not one to write off back from a short break.

Form: 48-0829

Forecasts

Rainbow Mirage (5/2), Pepsi Cat (3/1), Port Noir (4/1), Ischia (4/1), Social Contact (10/1), Romantic Memories (20/1), Alaskan Jewel (22/1)

ISCHIA was strictly below the level she displayed when runner-up on return over C&D when fourth on handicap debut at Lingfield 18 days ago, yet she was far from disgraced that day and, with her previous form having worked out well enough, she could be up to getting back on the up. Ripon-scorer Pepsi Cat and Rainbow Mirage head up the dangers.
