Form: 1

(2)

Basilette^h¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Mr Taylor Fisher⁽³⁾| T: J W Mullins

100/1

Once-raced maiden on Flat. Modest winner at 16f in bumpers. Hooded for 1st time, fifth of 7 in minor event at Chepstow (10f, good to firm, 66/1) on flat debut 11 days ago, slowly away. Doesn't make much appeal.

Form: 5

(8)

Lord Melbourne

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R Coakley| T: S & E Crisford

11/2

€270,000 yearling, Wootton Bassett gelding. Dam, French 1¼m-1½m winner, half-sister to useful 1m winner (stayed 1¼m) Lamu. Potentially above-average newcomer.

Form:

(4)

Sir Terence Hadley

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: George Downing| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

40/1

Mukhadram gelding. Half-brother to 11f/1½m winner Kirkland Forever. Dam 1½m-17f winner. Worth a market check.

Eleanor Cross³⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: William Carver⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding

Promising individual. Second of 9 in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, good, 22/1) on debut. Off 11 months. Open to progress despite the lengthy absence.

Form: 2-

(5)

Scenic²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: James Doyle| T: E Walker| OR: 97

8/11

Useful filly. 7/1, 5¼ lengths seventh of 11 to Sea Theme in listed race at York (11.8f, good to firm) 22 days ago, unlucky not to finish closer. Has plenty of solid form and has an excellent opportunity to get off the mark.

Form: 42-5437

Forecasts

Scenic (8/11), Al Anoud (11/4), Eleanor Cross (5/1), Lord Melbourne (11/2), Sir Terence Hadley (40/1), Salt Treaty (80/1), Basilette (100/1), Underlay (150/1)

SCENIC already has some black type and connections have now found a good opportunity for her to put a win to her name provided she's on her game. Eleanor Cross shaped well on debut, but that was almost a year ago, so it might be that debut-winner Al Anoud emerges as the main danger to the selection.
