Dora Penny^t⁴^{(ex 12)}

Age: 3| Weight: 10-4| J: David Probert| T: P D Evans| OR: 67| D

5/6

Six wins from 18 Flat runs. 3 wins from 9 runs this year. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Ffos Las (6f, good, 9/4) 4 days ago, bit in hand. Should make a bold bid to complete the four-timer, despite carrying a double penalty.

Major Gatsby^v⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Gina Mangan⁽⁵⁾| T: W G M Turner| OR: 70

5/1

Four wins from 7 runs this year. 9/4, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Brighton (7f, good) 62 days ago, driven out. 5 lb rise fair enough and should give another good account.

Social Contact⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 69

11/2

10/1, good third of 7 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 8 days ago. That represented a step back in the right direction, but others make more appeal all the same.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: N Callan| T: M J Attwater| OR: 67

7/1

Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. 22/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 9 days ago. Looks vulnerable.

7/1

Three wins from 14 runs this year. 3/1, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Ripon (5f, good) 14 days ago. More on her off 4 lb higher back up in class/trip here.

Forecasts

Dora Penny (5/6), Brazen Idol (10/3), Major Gatsby (5/1), Social Contact (11/2), Bonita B (7/1), Thismydream (7/1)

DORA PENNY is thriving at present and while another personal best will be needed if she's to see off several other in-form rivals under a big weight, it would be no surprise whatsoever if she proves equal to the task. Major Gatsby opened his turf account at Brighton last time and won't go down without a fight, a remark which also applies to Brazen Idol, who is bidding for the hat-trick following back-to-back victories at Thirsk.
