Lil Guff²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: W Buick| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 87| D

4/1

Likeable filly who has already scored twice this year and is likely to put a sub-par run at Epsom behind him. Deserves respect.

Form: 731126

(8)

Glamorous Breeze^p²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: T E Whelan| T: C Mason| OR: 85| D

9/2

Has been in top form this season and resumed progress to score by a head from Woolhampton at Windsor last time. Was all out there but further improvement can't be ruled out.

Form: 8-68121

(1)

Cuban Breeze^b⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Tom Marquand| T: P D Evans| OR: 83| CD

11/4

Consistent sort who made the frame again when second at Newmarket a week ago. Only denied by a progressive type that day and she's likely to give another good account.

Form: 223432

Origintrail¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Watson| T: B Haslam| OR: 79

14/1

On a handy mark and, having made a mildly encouraging reappearance, he was best excused his latest effort at Chester, so not one to write off.

Form: 1256-68

Woolhampton^b²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: R Coakley| T: B R Millman| OR: 83

5/1

18/1 and blinkered for 1st time, very good head second of 7 to Glamorous Breeze in handicap at Windsor 27 days ago. Arguably unfortunate not to come out on top there and is on better terms with her old rival now.

Form: 187552

(6)

Holy Fire^p¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Fellowes| OR: 82

11/2

Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Kempton in May. 15/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 19 days ago. Should be on the premises if she takes to turf at the first attempt.

Form: 3-1222

(7)

Sarah's Verse³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Harris| OR: 71| D

11/1

Fared better than of late when creditable fifth of 11 in handicap (9/1) at Newbury (6f, good to firm) 27 days ago, never nearer. Claims if building on that.

Forecasts

Cuban Breeze (11/4), Lil Guff (4/1), Glamorous Breeze (9/2), Woolhampton (5/1), Cruise (5/1), Holy Fire (11/2), Sarah's Verse (11/1), Origintrail (14/1)

CUBAN BREEZE often gives her running and was only denied by an improver at Newmarket a week ago, so she gets the marginal vote over Glamorous Breeze and Woolhampton, who fought out the finish at Windsor last time out.
