Tabiti^b1²⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: C T Keane| T: R M Beckett| OR: 101

18/1

Kingman filly who won a 7f Newmarket newcomers event and the listed Dick Poole at Salisbury (6f) on her first 2 starts. Disappointing in the Fillies' Mile at Newmarket final start and reappears in blinkers. A really smart performance will be needed from this mark.

Form: 115-

(23)

Betty Clover¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: W Buick| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 100

9/1

Useful filly who was an improved 2 lengths third of 8 to Godspeed in 1m Chantilly Group 2 (good) 19 days ago. Buick retains the ride for handicap debut but she'll need to step up again to defy such a lofty mark.

Form: 284-423

Serving With Style³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 100| D

100/1

Won her first 2 starts last season and ended her 2-y-o campaign with an excellent second in Rockfel at Newmarket (7f, soft). Below that level when sixth of 9 to Kon Tiki in 1m York listed on reappearance and this mark looks tough even judged on the Rockfel form.

Form: 1172-6

Mojave River^t⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 98

50/1

Fairly useful filly. 33/1 and tongue tied first time, 3½ lengths fifth of 11 to Atsila in 1m Curragh Group 3 (good) on reappearance 46 days ago. Her opening handicap mark looks stiff but the stable's runners at this meeting always respected.

Form: 166-5

(17)

Bountiful^t1¹⁰⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 97

33/1

Won twice on turf last summer and excellent 1½ lengths fourth in Newmarket Group 2 (6f, good) last July. Not seen again until 4 lengths third in 7f Lingfield listed race in March. Steps up to 1m for handicap debut after 107 days off. Tongue tie on. Represents last year's winning connections.

Form: 5114-3

(20)

Silver Ghost²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S M Levey| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 95

6/1

Big improver this season, winning 7f handicaps at Newmarket and Goodwood this season, the latter a valuable event which she won going away by 2½ lengths. That suggests 1m should suit and even a further 8 lb rise shouldn't prevent a prominent showing.

Form: 226-611

(26)

Amangani⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: W M Lordan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 91

50/1

Showed plenty of promise in 2 starts as a juvenile, building on her promising debut third when landing a 13-runner Punchestown maiden (7f, good). 7½ lengths fifth of 8 to Officer in listed race (66/1) at the Curragh (1m, good) 46 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Makes handicap debut.

Form: 31-5

(11)

Nancy J^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 90

66/1

Useful effort when fifth of 11 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good) 9 days ago. Stepped up to 9.5f for a valuable event at Gowran next time and wasn't seen to best effect in fifth (met trouble).

Form: 155-855

(28)

Miss Nightfall²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 89

16/5

Made steady progress at 2 and shaped well when 2½ lengths second of 14 to Silver Ghost in 7f Goodwood handicap on reappearance, conceding first run to that reopposing rival having had to switch. 1m should be within range on that evidence and she's high on the list.

Form: 32132-2

(2)

Never Let Go²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker| OR: 88

22/1

AW novice win in December and better form in defeat ths year, placing in handicaps over 7f/1m before third in 1¼m Haydock listed race.

Form: 61-323

(25)

Zgharta^h⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A M Balding| OR: 88

15/2

Ghaiyyath filly who made it third time lucky ?in 1¼m Newmarket maiden 7 weeks ago. She's quite a free-going type so the drop back to 1m on handicap debut shouldn't inconvenience. Open to further progress..

Form: 3-21

(21)

Oolong Poobong²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Connor Beasley| T: E Bethell| OR: 87

10/1

Has a largely progressive profile, gaining compensation for her near miss on 7f Newcastle reappearance when scoring by 2 lengths from the reopposing Arabian Leopard over 7f at Haydock (good) 3 weeks ago. A 5 lb rise looks fair and she's likely to stay 1m.

Form: 2192-21

(8)

Saariselka³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: M Barzalona| T: E Walker| OR: 87

40/1

Pretty useful filly who has been runner-up in fast-ground handicaps at Yarmouth (7f) and Newmarket (1m) this season. Her trainer has tasted success in this before.

Form: 312-22

(24)

Cartwheel⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Andrew Slattery| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 87

80/1

Winner of a 7f Kempton novice last October. Found the Group 3 Nell Gwyn at Newmarket to much on her Newmarket reappearance and an opening mark in the mid 80s demands plenty of improvement. Should stay 1m.

Form: 31-8

(16)

Dash Of Azure³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: R Kingscote| T: R M Beckett| OR: 86

11/2

Ran with promise on all 3 starts last season and comfortably justified market confidence in 7f Kempton handicap on reappearance 36 days ago. Raised 5 lb but there's almost certainly more to come from this daughter of Blue Point. First attempt at 1m.

Form: 222-1

(6)

Cajole²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 85| BF| D

25/1

Built on encouraging Newbury debut when taking 7-runner maiden at Newcastle (1m) in May. Improved again when length second of 13 to a promising stablemate at Wolverhampton novice 24 days ago. Likely improver on handicap debut for a yard no stranger to success in this.

Form: 412

(9)

Sea Poetry²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: T E Whelan| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 84

80/1

Debut winner on heavy ground at Newmarket last autumn. Similar form when runner-up in 7f novices at Kempton (AW) and Chepstow (good to firm) last month. Steps up to 1m for handicap debut from a mark which demands improvement.

Form: 1-22

(14)

Purple Rainbow⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁵⁾| T: W J Haggas| OR: 84| D

8/1

Built on a promising debut second when going one better at Kempton (1m) in January. Progressed again when fourth under a penalty over 1m here (round course) in April. Should have more to offer in handicaps with a good claimer taking 5 lb off.

Form: 2-14

(18)

Annsar⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Jack Doughty| T: Jack Jones| OR: 84

80/1

All 3 starts on AW, winning maiden/novice races over 7f at Lingfield this spring. Needs to prove her effectiveness over 1m and on turf but she's open for further progress now moving into a handicap.

Form: 3-11

(12)

Bassadanza¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 84

125/1

Won novices on turf and AW last year but well beaten in 9f Musselburgh handicap on reappearance 13 days ago. Can't make a case for after that.

Form: 116-7

(10)

Dancing Teapot^p1,t¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: C D Hayes| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 84| D

22/1

Struck at the fourth time of asking in 1m Gowran maiden (good to firm) 18 days ago. Has first-time cheekpieces added to her tongue tie now moving back into a handicap. One of 3 runners for her leading Irish stable.

Form: 22-51

(27)

Alfareqa²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: David Probert| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 84

22/1

Left December's AW debut behind when winning 7f Doncaster maiden (good to firm) in April. Similar form when third under a penalty at Leicester (1m since) and the third gave that form a bit of a boost when winning on Monday. Handicap debut.

Form: 9-12

(22)

Ryka³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: S D Bowen| T: D O'Meara| OR: 82| D

33/1

Failed to build on a good to firm debut win in 2 subsequent starts on much softer ground at 2 but back on the up returned to a faster surface when edging out Sasarislka in 1m Newmarket handicap on reappearance. More to come from her.

Form: 174-1

(5)

Arabian Leopard²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: S De Sousa| T: D M Simcock| OR: 81| BF

16/1

Improved to win a 7f Newmarket handicap (good to firm) last month and backed that up when 2 lengths second of 11 to the reopposing Oolong Poobong at Haydock (7f again) 3 weeks ago. Respected from an unchanged mark.

Form: 44-3412

(15)

Eazy On The Eye⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Grace McEntee| T: H Main| OR: 77

125/1

Two AW wins over 8.7f at Wolverhampton last autumn. No impact in 2 AW handicaps this spring but different story switched to turf at Sandown (1m) last week, finishing third of 8. More will be needed from a little out of the handicap here, though.

Form: 911-703

Forecasts

Miss Nightfall (16/5), Dash Of Azure (11/2), Silver Ghost (6/1), Supermodel (7/1), Zgharta (15/2), Purple Rainbow (8/1), Betty Clover (9/1), Oolong Poobong (10/1), Sweet Chariot (10/1), Arabian Leopard (16/1), Tabiti (18/1), Never Let Go (22/1), Dancing Teapot (22/1), Alfareqa (22/1), Cajole (25/1), Trad Jazz (25/1), Bountiful (33/1), Ryka (33/1), Saariselka (40/1), Amangani (50/1), Mojave River (50/1), Nancy J (66/1), Annsar (80/1), Sea Poetry (80/1), Cartwheel (80/1), Serving With Style (100/1), Eazy On The Eye (125/1), Bassadanza (125/1)

DASH OF AZURE didn't look fully extended when justifying market confidence on her 7f Kempton reappearance and might prove the answer for Ralph Beckett. Supermodel has a similarly progressive profile and heads the numerous dangers along with Silver Ghost and Miss Nightfall, who were 1-2 in a valuable 7f handicap at Goodwood last month. Oolong Poobong is also on the shortlist.
