Papa Don't Preach¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: J Mitchell| T: K Frost| OR: 61| D

13/2

Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Sixth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 6/1) 14 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Continues to edge down the weights and he's dangerous to discount.

Form: 667-946

Kento^b²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Tom Clover| OR: 61| BF

5/2

Good second of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f, 9/4) 25 days ago. Strong contender off the same mark with Oisin Murphy doing the steering.

Form: 364832

Umming N' Ahing¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Gina Mangan| T: W G M Turner| OR: 60| D

16/1

18/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form but opposable based on recent exploits.

Form: 00-8505

Notre Maison^v²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: W S Kittow| OR: 58| CD

3/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in June. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, good, 11/2) 21 days ago. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 7-43613

Apple A Dey²⁰¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: D Egan| T: M R Hoad| OR: 57

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Henry De Bromhead when very good third of 6 in maiden (18/1) at Kempton (5f). Off 6 months ahead of this handicap debut but will be a danger to all if ready to roll.

Form: 0/39-3

Haveagobeau^v1¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J R Boyle| OR: 45

66/1

Forecasts

Kento (5/2), Notre Maison (3/1), Cabeza De Llave (11/2), Papa Don't Preach (13/2), Bama Lama (15/2), Milliethemollie (17/2), Umming N' Ahing (16/1), Apple A Dey (40/1), Haveagobeau (66/1)

The vote goes to CABEZA DE LLAVE, who did well to finish as close as he did when beaten a neck over this C&D a fortnight ago. Notre Maison was successful here on her penultimate start and, having put in another good shift when third at Chepstow next time, she is feared most. Apple A Dey was a close third in a Kempton maiden on debut for this yard and is also shortlisted, along with Kento.
