Selected odds by:

(1)

She's Centimental¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 82| D

6/1

Lightly-raced winner. 15/2, fourteenth of 18 in handicap at York (5f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Makes polytrack debut (form figures on tapeta read 2111) and she may well bounce back with a bold show.

Form: 211-10

(6)

Dark Kestrel^t¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 80| D

10/11

Promising type. 10/3, won 11-runner minor event at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Well-bred and in good hands, further progress can be expected now that he goes down the handicap route.

Form: 06-1

(5)

Kessaar Power²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: J F Egan| T: K P De Foy| OR: 79| D

16/5

Two wins from 3 runs this year, the latest at Yarmouth in April. Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, heavy, 9/1) 27 days ago. Likely to find one or two too strong here.

Form: 604-116

(3)

Lulworth Cove¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 78| D

11/1

Lightly-raced winner. Good second of 11 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good, 14/1) 12 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and she shouldn't be far away if taking to this surface.

Form: 521-2

(7)

Sergeant Pep¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Fahy| T: C G Cox| OR: 78| D

12/1

Winner at Wolverhampton in December. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good, 15/2) 12 days ago. Needs to get back on track but will be a player if able to do so.

Form: 21-2058

(2)

Pembrokeshire^h1⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: N Callan| T: W Jarvis| OR: 77| D

100/1

Lightly-raced winner. Well-beaten last of 5 to Kessaar Power in handicap (16/1) at Yarmouth (6f, soft) 42 days ago. Now tried in a hood.

Form: 1635-5

(4)

Hiatus¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Stott| T: C Allen| OR: 73| D

14/1

Latest win at Windsor in May. Bit below form sixth of 13 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good, 5/1) 19 days ago. Should make his presence felt.

Form: 724616

Forecasts

Dark Kestrel (10/11), Kessaar Power (16/5), She's Centimental (6/1), Lulworth Cove (11/1), Sergeant Pep (12/1), Hiatus (14/1), Pembrokeshire (100/1)

DARK KESTREL left his 2-y-o efforts well behind when making a winning reappearance in a Doncaster novice and, with the promise of better to come now handicapping, he will prove hard to beat if proving equally effective on polytrack. The main threat may be posed by Lulworth Cove, who progressed with each of her 3 starts as a juvenile and did so again when chasing home the in-form Radio Goo Goo on return at Haydock. She's Centimental and Sergeant Pep are others to consider.
