Winless since scoring at Kempton last December but failed to take advantage of an easy lead when second of 4 there last month. Has work to do from same mark.

Swoon⁸⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Cieren Fallon| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 86| D

6/1

Won pair of minor events last year and improved when third to a couple of progressive 3-y-os in Doncaster handicap on her reappearance in May. Poorly placed at Ascot last time and no surprise to see her step forward again here.

Form: 6112-33

Mellow Yellow⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: W Buick| T: W J Haggas| OR: 88| C

5/4

2 wins from 3 career starts and looked potentially smart when making successful return from 11-month absence at Wolverhampton last time. Showed good attitude that day and enters handicaps from fair mark. Should have even more to offer.

Form: 21-1

Crema Inglesa^h¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Saffie Osborne⁽³⁾| T: J A Osborne| OR: 80

22/1

Won 3 times in 2021 and made the frame first 2 outings this term. Questions to answer now after a pair of lacklustre efforts and others are easier to fancy.

Form: 8-23P76

Wynter Wildes¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Spencer| T: C Fellowes| OR: 82| D

17/2

Notched third win this season at Newcastle in August and did well under circumstances when fourth there last month, staying on well after meeting trouble. Model of consistency lately and another good effort expected.

Form: 223214

Hexameter⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 80| D

8/1

Simple task when winning 7-runner minor event at Ripon (12f, good) 7 days ago and comes back into handicaps on a fair-looking mark. Can't be ruled out.

Form: 322421

(6)

Madame Ambassador^p³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: R Kingscote| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 79| D

18/1

Showed fine attitude when winning 4-runner handicap at Newmarket on penultimate start and was far from disgraced when third of 6 at Southwell last time. Hard to knock her recent efforts, though this race is competitive.

Form: 423613

Whimsy²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: J A Heffernan| T: A M Balding| OR: 77| BF| D

11/2

Won minor event and handicap in the summer, both at Salisbury. Good runner-up efforts both starts since, clear of rest at Leicester last time. Step back up in trip will suit and she's another with solid claims.

Form: 241122

(7)

Arclight²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Rob Hornby| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 76

11/1

AW maiden winner last autumn. Placed in handicaps on first 2 starts this year but failed to improve for a step up to 1½m at Leicester last time, proving bit too keen for her own good. Certainly worth another go at this trip.

Form: 731-325

Forecasts

Mellow Yellow (5/4), Whimsy (11/2), Swoon (6/1), Hexameter (8/1), Wynter Wildes (17/2), Arclight (11/1), Madame Ambassador (18/1), Crema Inglesa (22/1), Pretty Sweet (33/1)

Lots to like about many of these, but MELLOW YELLOW stands out as being on a particularly lenient-looking opening mark with further progress expected. Whimsy, Swoon and Wynter Wildes also have very solid claims in a strong-looking heat.
