13/8

Promising sort. 5/2, won 7-runner novice at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 14 days ago with Mockirr (7 lb pull) just over 2 lengths adrift in third. Should have more to offer and return to turf shouldn't be an issue given that she shaped well over 6f here on debut in June, albeit on faster ground.

Form: 41

Mockirr^t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: A J Farragher| T: W J Haggas| BF

9/4

Twice-raced maiden. 13/8 and tongue strap on for 1st time, 2¼ lengths third of 7 to Maid In Chelsea in novice at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 14 days ago. Appeals as the type to continue to progress with racing and he's a big player.

Form: 53

Space Trooper²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: P Charalambous & J Clutterbuck

13/8

Once-raced maiden. Third of 7 in maiden (16/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) on debut 25 days ago. As a half-brother to the yard's smart sprinter Apollo One he may well take this drop in trip in his stride, but a good deal more will be needed if he's to rustle the feathers of the other two.

Form: 3

Forecasts

Maid In Chelsea (13/8), Space Trooper (13/8), Mockirr (9/4)

MOCKIRR is taken to turn the tables on his Wolverhampton conqueror Maid In Chelsea, now meeting that rival on 8 lb better terms compared to when finishing just over 2 lengths adrift of her at the aforementioned track a fortnight ago. Space Trooper should be wiser following his belated debut at Chelmsford last month but while this drop back in trip may not be a bad move, he will need to take a big step forward in order to trouble his two rivals.
