8/11

Enjoying a most productive campaign and completed the hat-trick in 7-runner handicap at Sandown (1m, heavy) 5 days ago. Showed a good attitude to score readily last time and she can defy a penalty with further progress to come.

Form: 7-14111

Violeta⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: G Lee| T: B Haslam| OR: 67

11/1

After a good third at Redcar (1m, good to soft) in May, wasn't in the same form a month later when down the field at this course (9.8f, good) last time. Capable of getting involved if she's on a going day.

Form: 3-32437

Starshot²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: J Bedi| OR: 63

66/1

On his second start since leaving George Boughey, proved that he retains ability when fifth of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Task is now to build on his latest effort returned to this longer trip.

Form: 4755-95

Purnika⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 62

15/2

Upped in trip with hood on first time, just about matched previous form when fourth of 5 on handicap debut at Wetherby (10f, good to firm) in June. Improvement required back down in distance.

Form: 4384

Global Crisis^b¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Harrison Shaw| T: D Carroll| OR: 59

25/1

In first-time blinkers, made the frame but was below form when fourth of 8 in handicap at Leicester (6f, soft) 12 days ago. Needs to find more having his first try at 1m.

Form: 956754

(5)

Mister Sox^b⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 58

9/4

Back down in trip with blinkers on first-time, produced his best effort to date when second of 10 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, soft) 6 days ago. Can give another good account.

Form: 3-36752

Forecasts

Eastern Charm (8/11), Mister Sox (9/4), Purnika (15/2), Violeta (11/1), Global Crisis (25/1), Starshot (66/1)

EASTERN CHARM continued her progress when scoring readily at Sandown 5 days ago and she can defy a penalty to land a fifth win of the season. The biggest threat could come from Mister Sox, who produced his best effort to date when runner-up at Beverley last time, while Violeta is capable on a going day.
