Miss Collada⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Aidan Keeley| T: R Hannon| OR: 73

8/1

Consistent sort who didn't enjoy the best of runs when tenth of 11 in handicap (9/1) at Sandown (7f, good) 8 days ago. Very much the sort to bounce back.

Form: 9-68640

9/4

Resumed progress when sixth of 11 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago, twice suffering a poor run in final 2f. Merits serious consideration eased 1 lb here.

Form: 214-376

Bintjan²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: K P De Foy| OR: 72

13/2

Improved form to get off the mark at Brighton (7f) in April and backed it up with a very good third of 10 in 7f Salisbury handicap following month. Can make her presence felt again.

Form: 453-313

(3)

Alondra¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: P J Dobbs| T: C Hills| OR: 72

7/1

Opened his account at Southwell in April and in good nick since, third of 11 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts.

Form: 80-4133

Diamont Katie⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Sam Feilden⁽⁵⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 71| D

5/1

Winner at Chelmsford City in January and not seen to ideal effect when fifth of 12 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, good to firm) 8 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Very much one to consider.

Form: 132505

(6)

Fiorella Princess^b1³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh| T: Lemos Souza| OR: 71| D

20/1

A fair 6f scorer for Amy Murphy but she came in only eighth of 10 for his new yard in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to firm) 38 days ago. Blinkers replace cheekpieces now with something to find.

Form: 125-358

(5)

Ironist²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Darragh Keenan| T: G G Margarson| OR: 69

28/1

Has hinted at promise in a trio of maidens, coming in fifth of 12 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Much respected now going into handicaps.

Form: 265

(4)

Juno Star⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Jack Callan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J McBride| OR: 58

22/1

Advanced his form on just his second handicap start when third of 10 at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) 8 days ago. One for the shortlist.

Form: 0-5393

Forecasts

Dark Rosa (9/4), Diamont Katie (5/1), Scattering Light (6/1), Bintjan (13/2), Alondra (7/1), Miss Collada (8/1), Maddelina (14/1), Fiorella Princess (20/1), Juno Star (22/1), Ironist (28/1)

This is wide open so it is worth siding with DARK ROSA to capitalise on a lenient mark having caught the eye when an unlucky-in-running sixth at Windsor last time. Bintjan heads the list of dangers on the back of a very good Salisbury third with in-form duo Diamont Katie and Scattering Light both firmly in the picture too.
