(9)

Turner Girl^p¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Rossa Ryan| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 69

8/1

Creditable third of 8 in handicap (11/2) at Wolverhampton (14f) 19 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Down in trip and should make her presence felt.

Form: 184223

Brassavola²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Billy Loughnane| T: K P De Foy| OR: 69| BF

12/1

10/3, first run since leaving H-A. Pantall when eighth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f) on UK debut 27 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Couldn't be sure that this step up in trip is what she wants.

Form: 04548

(3)

Clipsham Gold¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Kyle Strydom| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 68

11/1

Good second of 7 in handicap at this course (8f, 10/1) 14 days ago, left poorly placed. Shapes as though this new trip will be within range and she's high on the shortlist.

Form: 526072

Emma Emilleen²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 70| BF

7/2

Creditable second of 8 in handicap at this course (8f, 5/2) 24 days ago. This step back up in trip is of dubious benefit and others make more appeal.

Form: 248542

(4)

Rosa Chinensis⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Callum Shepherd| T: D M Simcock| OR: 69

9/2

15/2, creditable seventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D 47 days ago. Not without each-way hope but others are preferred from a win point of view.

Form: 462467

(7)

Night At Sea¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 69

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 4/1, respectable third of 11 in maiden at Newcastle (12.4f) 19 days ago. Needs to raise her game now handicapping/switched to polytrack.

Form: 0423

(1)

So Farhh So Good⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Hector Crouch| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 68

7/1

9/1, last of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (14f, heavy) 41 days ago. Back down in trip and this 7-race maiden is likely to find a few too good once more.

Form: 463566

(2)

Corymbosa⁷⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: R Kingscote| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 68

14/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 8/1, fifth of 6 in minor event at Lingfield (12f, AW) 76 days ago. Needs to improve but, as a well-bred filly from a top yard, that is entirely possible now pitched into a handicap off a lowly mark.

Form: 7-35

(10)

Rogue Warrior³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: David Egan| T: Tom Clover| OR: 67

10/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 9/2, third of 8 in minor event at Newcastle (8f) 35 days ago. Back up in trip for this handicap debut and she's one to consider.

Form: 233

(6)

Eloped³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 67

20/1

125/1, tailed-off seventh of 8 to One Evening in listed race at Bath (14f, heavy) 34 days ago. Back down in trip on debut for new yard and, faced with a more realistic assignment back on the AW, she's not discounted.

Form: 252137

(5)

Pearly Star²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: H Palmer| OR: 64

10/1

Winner at Chester in June. 11/1, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 21 days ago. Merits respect on this polytrack debut but not sure that moving up in trip will work in her favour.

Form: 166254

(8)

Placated³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: T E Whelan| T: Dr J D Scargill| OR: 57

20/1

Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Windsor (11.4f, good to soft) 36 days ago. 1 lb lower and she's in with an each-way squeak.

Form: 3414-55

Forecasts

Emma Emilleen (7/2), Rosa Chinensis (9/2), So Farhh So Good (7/1), Turner Girl (8/1), Pearly Star (10/1), Night At Sea (10/1), Rogue Warrior (10/1), Clipsham Gold (11/1), Brassavola (12/1), Corymbosa (14/1), Placated (20/1), Eloped (20/1)

CLIPSHAM GOLD posted her best effort since joining this yard when runner-up over a mile here a fortnight ago and, with this stiffer test expected to be in her favour, she could be the answer to what looks a wide-open handicap. It would be no surprise to see improvement from handicap debutantes Corymbosa and Rogue Warrior, while Eloped is of interest back down in class and returned to the all-weather having understandably struggled in listed company on turf last time.
