Cheers Babe¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mathers| T: Ian Williams

150/1

Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 10 in minor event (200/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 10 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps in due course.

Form: 78

(3)

Miss Dolly Rocker⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Watson| T: R A Teal| OR: 73| BF

1/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable second of 5 in maiden (7/4) at Bath (10.2f, firm) 56 days ago. Winner of that race has gone in again since and she will prove tough to beat if coping with conditions.

Form: 2232-2

(7)

Pourquoi²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: D M Simcock

6/4

Promising sort. 18/5, fifth of 11 in maiden at Chelmsford City (10f) 29 days ago, hampered. Remains open to improvement and she's a leading contender.

Form: 25

(4)

Sonnet Star^h²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Davies⁽³⁾| T: W S Kittow

7/1

Once-raced maiden. 40/1 and hooded, second of 6 in minor event at Chepstow (10f, good to firm) on debut 25 days ago, no match for winner. Will need to step up on that if she's to trouble Miss Dolly Rocker and Pourquoi.

Form: 2

(1)

Trinidad Calypso

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Miss J Feilden

22/1

18,000 gns yearling, Roaring Lion filly. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Kiyoshi. Yard seldom strikes with newcomers but she's worth a peek in the betting.

Form:

(5)

Lady Of Nepal²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: C Lee| T: A W Carroll

200/1

Once-raced maiden. 22/1, last of 5 in maiden at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm) on debut 25 days ago, slowly away. Up in trip now and big step forward needed.

Form: 5

(6)

Lesleyanne

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Cieren Fallon| T: D K Ivory

28/1

10,000 gns yearling, 10,000 gns 2-y-o, Acclamation filly. Dam, maiden (stayed 1m), sister to smart winner up to 1¼m Gibeon out of smart 1½m-1¾m winner (stayed 2m) Gravitation. Entitled to come on for the run.

Forecasts

Miss Dolly Rocker (1/1), Pourquoi (6/4), Sonnet Star (7/1), Trinidad Calypso (22/1), Lesleyanne (28/1), Cheers Babe (150/1), Lady Of Nepal (200/1)

This looks between MISS DOLLY ROCKER and Pourquoi. If the ground remains on the slow side Roger Teal's charge will be taking a step into the unknown, as her reappearance/turf debut near-miss at Bath was on fast ground, whereas Pourquoi's debut second at Windsor was on heavy, so the forecast conditions won't be a problem where she's concerned. Still, the form of Miss Dolly Rocker's Bath effort looks solid and she will take some stopping if handling conditions. Sonnet Star is best of the rest.
