10/3

£2,800 3-y-o, Lope De Vega mare. Dam runner-up at 1m at 2 yrs in US. Shouldn't lack for speed and she's in good hands, so a newcomer to consider.

Closely related to a winner, and half-sister to 3 winners, including fair hurdler/chaser Gentleman Duke, stayed 2½m. Dam ran once on Flat. Last of 12 starting out at Worcester in July.

Georgia's Charm¹³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss A B O'Connor⁽³⁾| T: H Fry

4/11

Order of St George filly. Half-sister to 2¼m bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Green Glory, stays 2¾m. Showed plenty when third in a big-field bumper at Cork in May for Margaret Mullins. Repeat of that will see her hard to beat for new yard.

Form: 3

100/1

Telescope filly. Dam (c107/h65), 2½m-25f chase winner, closely related to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Our Katie.

Forecasts

Georgia's Charm (4/11), Honour High (10/3), Mustamento (18/1), Lady Buttercup (22/1), County Royal (28/1), Pleniflora (66/1), Glen Affric (100/1)

GEORGIA'S CHARM made a promising debut when third of 17 at Cork in May and having transferred to another good yard, she'll take some stopping. Newcomer Honour High may offer most resistance.
