Almosh'her²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Fellowes

6/4

Sea The Stars colt who was notably strong in the betting and made a winning start in 11-runner novice at Southwell (8.1f) just over 3 weeks ago, edging ahead final 50 yds. Looks to possess plenty of physical scope and should be able to defy a penalty upped in trip.

Breathless Bishop⁵⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Josephine Gordon| T: Kieran Burke

200/1

10/1, failed to progress from debut when fourth of 8 in novice at Windsor (10f, good to firm) when last seen 19 months ago. First run for yard after leaving Harry & Roger Charlton.

Form: 74/

Kevano Breeze²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: William Carson| T: M Madgwick

The Cooleen^t⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: S W Kelly| T: M R Hoad

300/1

Poor maiden handicap hurdler, pulled up both starts for present yard. Easy to look elsewhere on Flat debut.

Courageous Gold²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Connor Planas⁽³⁾| T: D M Simcock| BF

66/1

Magna Grecia gelding who was well backed for debut but proved clueless for the most part when fifth of 8 in novice at Southwell (11.1f) just over 3 weeks ago, making late progress when getting the far rail to race against 2f out. Sure to progress.

Form: 5-

Dalton Park

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Loughnane| T: R Hughes

7/1

50,000 gns 3-y-o, Siyouni gelding. Dam winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 1m winner) who stayed 14.5f. Dam winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 1m winner) who stayed 14.5f. Betting should guide expectations making a belated debut.

Fireblade^b¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 81

7/2

Brother to Cracksman who looks consistent rather than progressive, finding one too strong for a third time in 7-runner novice at Newcastle (12.4f, 3/1) 12 days ago, no match for winner but pulling clear of remainder. This looks a good opportunity to open his account.

Nahy^t²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding

13/2

525,000 gns yearling, Lope De Vega colt who is bred to be useful and offered something to work on fitted with tongue strap for debut when 6¼ lengths sixth of 11 to Almosh'her in novice (13/2) at Southwell (8.1f) just over 3 weeks ago. Upped in trip and should have more to offer.

Form: 6-

Paradise Circus³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: T E Whelan| T: J Tickle

300/1

Showed nothing when always behind in junior bumper and best to look elsewhere switched to the Flat.

Yes Sir²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Marco Ghiani| T: K P De Foy

200/1

Showed much more than on debut when fourth of 8 in novice (7/1) at Southwell (11.1f) just over 3 weeks ago. May well progress again.

Amazonian

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Hector Crouch| T: R M Beckett

5/2

350,000 gns yearling, Sea The Stars filly. Sister to smart 1½m-14.4f winner River of Stars and half-sister to winner up to 1¾m Apadanah and 2-y-o 7f winner Ancona, both useful. dam unraced daughter of Preis der Diana winner Amarette. Debutante to note.

Ruby Kendyl

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Tyler Heard| T: J Tickle

300/1

10,000 gns foal, 5,000 gns yearling, Ulysses filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 1m/8.3f winner Al Nafoorah and winner up to 9.5f Hallalulu. Dam 1½m-1¾m winner who stayed 17f. Plenty of stamina on the dam's side but likely to need the experience.

Form:

Sawgrass

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: H Morrison

40/1

Gleneagles Filly. Sister to smart winner up to 1½m Stay Alert and interesting to see if any market support comes her way on racecourse bow.

Forecasts

Almosh'her (6/4), Amazonian (5/2), Fireblade (7/2), Nahy (13/2), Dalton Park (7/1), Sawgrass (40/1), Courageous Gold (66/1), Breathless Bishop (200/1), Yes Sir (200/1), The Cooleen (300/1), Kevano Breeze (300/1), Paradise Circus (300/1), Ruby Kendyl (300/1)

ALMOSH'HER landed a few tidy bets on debut at Southwell just over 3 weeks ago and, possessing plenty of physical scope, Charlie Fellowes' 4-y-o is fancied to defy a penalty stepping up in distance at the expense of Fireblade, who looks consistent rather than progressive and may have to settle for a fourth silver medal. Amazonian ticks plenty of boxes on paper, so she can fight out third with the once-raced Nahy.
