Chil Chil¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: B A Curtis| T: A M Balding| OR: 109| D

11/8

Third in Haydock Sprint Cup in a good 2021 campaign. Hasn't fired in 2 outings this season but major player if bouncing back to anything like her best form.

Form: 1953-80

(9)

Gale Force Maya^p²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 107| CD

3/1

C&D winner who has progressed into a smart sprinter this year, winning 3 competitive 6f handicaps. Also third in York Group 3 on penultimate start. The one to beat if the widest stall doesn't prove too big an inconvenience.

Form: 157131

(8)

Barbanera³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 99

16/1

York novice winner at 2. Useful effort when fourth in Fred Darling on Newbury reappearance in April but needs to shrug off a lesser run in listed company at Chester 3 months later.

Form: 213-47

(2)

Favourite Child^p¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: T Eaves| T: K R Burke| OR: 86| CD

22/1

Fairly useful C&D winner. Creditable 3½ lengths third of 12 to Adaay In Asia in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good to firm, 66/1) 19 days ago. Has something to find at this level, though.

Form: 22-5093

(6)

Honey Sweet^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 97| D

11/1

Useful filly. 40/1, 10¼ lengths thirteenth of 15 to Oscula in Oak Tree Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) 18 days ago but had finished runner-up in a Carlisle listed race prior to that.

Form: 429520

(1)

Princess Shabnam¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Nicola Currie| T: S Woods| OR: 98| D

11/2

Useful filly who upped her game when back to winning ways at Chelmsford (6f) in June. Good runner-up efforts at Chester both starts since, latterly finishing 1¾ lengths second of 7 to Ebro River in a listed race (6f, soft) 14 days ago. Likely to be in the shake-up.

Form: 723122

(3)

Rolling The Dice^p⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D C Costello| T: H Kobeissi| OR: 95

33/1

Third in the May Hill at 2 but has struggled to get competitive in good company over 1m this time round. Remains to be seen if she fares any better over this 2f shorter trip.

Form: 713-070

(7)

Symphony Perfect¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R Coakley| T: H Palmer| OR: 99| D

10/1

Useful filly. 28/1, creditable 3¾ lengths sixth of 15 to Oscula in Oak Tree Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) 18 days ago.

Form: 1-52556

Forecasts

Chil Chil (11/8), Gale Force Maya (3/1), Princess Shabnam (11/2), Symphony Perfect (10/1), Adaay In Asia (10/1), Honey Sweet (11/1), Barbanera (16/1), Favourite Child (22/1), Rolling The Dice (33/1)

A wide draw dents confidence slightly but GALE FORCE MAYA has a series of efforts to her name this year which suggest she should be more than capable of winning a listed race. Chil Chil will be a major threat if recapturing anything like her best form, while Princess Shabnam was runner-up at this level last time and is handily drawn in stall 1.
