Lord Roxby¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 84| D

17/2

Latest win at Hamilton in May and backed that up in a higher grade over the me C&D next time. Not disgraced when eighth of 18 in handicap at York (6f, good, 7/1) 14 days ago and should be competitive from 1 lb lower mark.

Form: 7-45138

Easy Peeler¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: D Allan| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 83| BF| D

9/4

Consistent sort just held on to win at York (6f) in June and remained in top form when staying on to finish fourth of 13 in handicap (7/2) at Thirsk (6f, good) 10 days ago, in a race that didn't particularly suit the closers. Unlikely that we've seen the best of her yet.

Form: 212-314

Miraculous¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Aidan Keeley| T: R Varian| OR: 81| D

9/2

6f debut winner at Newcastle and ran well (second run since being gelded) when fourth of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago, typically took a strong hold. Could be suited by a fast run race around this track and has a chance if things falls right.

Noble Victory⁷⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J M Sheridan| T: J Tate| OR: 79| D

16/1

Winner at Chelmsford City in February and has proved consistent since, creditable third of 13 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 76 days ago, running on. In good heart but may need to find some improvement on turf debut.

Form: 21343

Lesley's Boy^p1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jonny Peate| T: R A Fahey| OR: 78| D

40/1

Turned in a lacklustre display when 40/1, fifteenth of 18 in handicap at York (6f, good) 14 days ago. No surprise to see cheekpieces on first time and will need to improve.

Form: 93-8000

My Mate Kev²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Marco Ghiani| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 78| BF| D

17/2

Career best when winning a 12-runner handicap at Newmarket prior to finishing well held upped in grade at Ripon, for all he shouldn't be judged to harshly on that run (never looked comfortable and not given a hard time). May not have much in hand from this sort of mark.

Form: 51-8315

Musical Angel¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Watson| T: A M Balding| OR: 77| D

18/1

Showed much improved form to get off the mark at Brighton (6f) 18 days ago, always in control from the front and showing a good attitude to hold off the runner-up. Respected for top yard on handicap debut but draw could have been kinder.

Form: 23-581

Queue Dos^b¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D Egan| T: J S Moore| OR: 76| D

9/2

Ran well in a similar race when runner-up at Windsor on penultimate start and improved when blinkered for first time, posting a career best to land a 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 11/4) 19 days ago, ridden out. Looks a straightforward sort and has solid claims back on turf.

Form: 17-3721

(10)

Green Pursuit^p²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Nathan Evans| T: A Keatley| OR: 76| D

22/1

Good type physically and posted solid efforts over 6f this season but has struggled up in grade over 7f on his most recent starts, latest when well-held in first time blinkers at York. Back over 6f in a change of headgear and likely to be staying on if he can go the early pace.

Form: 76-1280

(3)

Veydari²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 74| D

15/2

Bagged an 11-runner nursery at Pontefract (6f, heavy) in October and ran to a similar level on second start for this yard when creditable eighth of 14 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) 27 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Should give his running from a decent draw.

Forecasts

Easy Peeler (9/4), Miraculous (9/2), Queue Dos (9/2), Veydari (15/2), Glamour Show (8/1), Lord Roxby (17/2), My Mate Kev (17/2), Noble Victory (16/1), Musical Angel (18/1), Ziggy's Ariel (20/1), Green Pursuit (22/1), Lesley's Boy (40/1)

QUEUE DOS looks a straightforward filly and was better than ever when doubling her career tally in first-time blinkers at Wolverhampton last month. She may be able to follow up that victory and is narrowly preferred to Easy Peeler, who remains with potential having shaped well in a race that didn't suit the closers at Thirsk 10 days ago, while the headstrong Miraculous may be suited by this test and could yet have more to offer.
