Selected odds by:

(1)

Pinwheel^t⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: George Bass| T: George Baker| OR: 69| D

9/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good to firm, 11/4) 57 days ago. Tongue strap back on and has good claims on her early season form.

Form: 963276

(2)

Dagmar Run²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: Paddy Bradley| T: D M Simcock| OR: 72| D

9/2

Took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm, 22/1) 23 days ago. Possibilities if building on that.

Form: 1-26584

(3)

Zabbie¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 71| D

13/8

15/2, creditable fifth of 16 in handicap at Newbury (8f, good) 15 days ago, no extra final 1f. Drop back to 7f looks a good move and this is easier.

Form: 258755

(6)

Liberty Mountain³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Alice Bond⁽⁷⁾| T: J Parr| OR: 69| D

5/1

Ran well with reappearance under her belt when runner-up at Newmarket (7f) in May but below that level twice since. Bit to prove at present.

Form: 31-5257

(4)

Hobson Point^p⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Sorin Moldoveanu⁽⁷⁾| T: J Ferguson| OR: 68

5/1

Fair maiden who ran well on first run since leaving Marco Botti when good second of 10 in 7f handicap (14/1) at Goodwood (good to firm) 57 days ago. Can give another good account.

Form: 783362

(7)

Ajrad³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Mollie Phillips| T: M J Attwater| OR: 61| D

16/1

10/1, run best excused when last of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 35 days ago, reportedly lame.

Form: 87-8548

(5)

Moosmee¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Christian Howarth⁽³⁾| T: S Dow| OR: 57| CD

11/1

C&D winner who ran badly on the all-weather here 18 days ago and is operating from a 10 lb higher mark back on turf. Others preferred.

Form: 499030

Forecasts

Zabbie (13/8), Dagmar Run (9/2), Liberty Mountain (5/1), Hobson Point (5/1), Pinwheel (9/1), Moosmee (11/1), Ajrad (16/1)

ZABBIE ran well in a much deeper race than this at Newbury last time and, with a return to 7f likely to suit, she's taken to open her account for the season. Pinwheel is yet to win in this country but is well treated on the pick of her form and rates the main threat ahead of Hobson Point.
