Pink Lily²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 69| D

11/2

Arrives at the very top of her game, supplementing her Bath win in 11-runner handicap at Goodwood 3 weeks ago (9.1f). Up 5 lb against interesting 3-y-os but she's thriving.

Aim For The Moon^t³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-1| J: S M Levey| T: M Wigham| OR: 68| BF| D

5/1

Very lightly raced for a 7-y-o and off the mark in 9-runner handicap at Yarmouth trying this trip for the first time in April. Wasn't seen to best effect at Yarmouth but tendency to miss the start is an ongoing worry.

Form: 5-38515

Orchard Keeper¹²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 71

10/3

Runner-up effort at Wolverhampton in February worked out well. Not in quite the same form despite achieving the same position at Chelmsford later that month , no match for winner. Off since but she's up in trip for handicap/turf debut and she should have more to offer

Form: 722

Post Rider¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: W Buick| T: P & O Cole| OR: 70

1/1

Big improver switched to turf, following up her Brighton win in determined fashion at Nottingham a fortnight ago (8.3f). Step up in trip can only help so she's the one to beat.

Form: 2-4611

Sparkling Belle²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Jonny Peate⁽³⁾| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 64

16/1

Still not the finished article but took a jump forward when mid-field in an AW novice 3 weeks ago. Makes handicap/turf debut.

Form: 546

Forecasts

Post Rider (1/1), Orchard Keeper (10/3), Aim For The Moon (5/1), Pink Lily (11/2), Sparkling Belle (16/1)

POST RIDER has left her AW form well behind on turf of late, showing the right attitude when making a winning handicap debut at Nottingham a fortnight ago. She can only improve for this trip so the hat-trick looks on the cards, for all Pink Lily is also competing for the match ball. Orchard Keeper is also of some interest.
