My Clementine^p⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 55| D

22/1

Winner at Chepstow (7f) in July. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Ffos Las (7.4f, heavy, 10/1) 47 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 051256

(3)

Sneaky Girl^p²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M Botti| OR: 52

9/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Equipped with cheekpieces/tongue tie, may have needed run after 4 months off when eleventh of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 27 days ago, pulling hard and no extra from 2f out. Remains early days and better showing not ruled out from handy draw.

Form: 74770

(6)

Twilight Truth²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: T E Whelan| T: H Candy| OR: 52

5/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 10/1, fifth of 11 in novice at this course (6f) 23 days ago, possibly in need of the run after 12 weeks off/following wind op. Makes handicap debut and the betting can guide.

Form: 995

(13)

Reaching The Moon^t⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Rob Hornby| T: W S Kittow| OR: 52

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for first time, last of 5 in handicap at Ffos Las (10f, heavy, 12/1) 47 days ago. Quickly dropped back in trip now.

Form: 0995

(8)

True Blue Gent^b,t³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Egan| T: M Botti| OR: 50

5/1

Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 10/1) 30 days ago, ridden over 2f out and keeping on. Has edged down to a handy mark and his very best efforts have come here.

Form: 080854

Batal Dandy^p,t²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: S C Williams| OR: 50

10/1

Winner at Wetherby (5.5f) in June. Below par since, sixth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 11/2) 27 days ago. Mark has eased a little more at least.

Form: 176666

Glastonbury²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 50

13/2

Finished down the field in trio of AW maidens at up to 7f in recent months. However, he's in good hands and not without hope on pedigree, so interesting if the market spoke favourably around him now handicapping from a low base.

Form: 090

(4)

Havana Mojito^p1²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Darragh Keenan| T: J Gallagher| OR: 48| D

10/1

Winner at Brighton in June. Last of 8 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good, 7/1) 23 days ago, weakening from 2f out. Cheekpieces reached for now.

Form: 123448

Irrelevant^h,t²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Watson| T: M Pattinson| OR: 48| CD

13/2

C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Not seen to best effect when seventh of 12 in handicap (28/1) at Chelmsford (7f) 20 days ago, never nearer. Each-way possibilities.

Form: 065437

(12)

Perfect Spring²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: P R Chamings| OR: 48

66/1

Failed to progress as a 2-y-o for Andrew Balding and low-key efforts since returning for new yard, tenth of 11 in handicap (80/1) at Brighton (7f, good) 22 days ago. Best watched for now.

Form: 7268-90

(9)

Dizziwizzbang²⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Josephine Gordon| T: P S McEntee| OR: 47

100/1

Belardo filly who offered little all 3 starts in novice/maidens at this venue last winter. Goes handicapping now after 9 months off with plenty to find.

Form: 00-0

(10)

Aspire To Glory^p,t³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Anna Gibson⁽⁷⁾| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 47| CD

11/1

C&D winner. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 7/1) 32 days ago, left poorly placed. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 735547

(1)

La Verite³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Jay Mackay⁽⁷⁾| T: P Owens| OR: 47

14/1

Had a poor 3-y-o campaign on the whole but her latest second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 34 days ago was more like it having fallen to a basement mark. Changed hands cheaply last month and she's worth considering in a wide-open affair.

Sneaky Girl (9/2), True Blue Gent (5/1), Twilight Truth (5/1), Irrelevant (13/2), Glastonbury (13/2), Batal Dandy (10/1), Havana Mojito (10/1), Aspire To Glory (11/1), La Verite (14/1), My Clementine (22/1), Reaching The Moon (40/1), Perfect Spring (66/1), Dizziwizzbang (100/1)

Not a strong contest by any means and with that in mind it could pay to take a chance on GLASTONBURY. He's not figured in a trio of quick-fire maidens but appeals as the type to make his mark starting out from a low base in handicaps for his good yard and he gets the nod to find the requisite improvement. La Verite on debut for Patrick Owens and Marco Botti pair Sneaky Girl and True Blue Gent head the dangers.
