Brielle¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 81

5/2

Lightly-raced winner. Successful at Hamilton in July. 18/1, good sixth of 13 in handicap at York (10.2f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Eased in grade here (also 1 lb lower) and she remains open to improvement.

5/1

Latest win at Newbury in July. 5/1, good third of 12 in handicap at Windsor (10f, firm) 26 days ago. Ought to give another good account, but she may prove vulnerable against the 3-y-os.

Lightly-raced winner. 10/3, third of 4 in handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, good to firm) 59 days ago. Looks vulnerable.

5/2

Latest win at Yarmouth in July. 4/6, good second of 6 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good) 33 days ago, clear of the rest. Should give another good account.

Summer Heat^p⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Christian Howarth⁽³⁾| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 75

11/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, third of 10 in novice at Thirsk (8f, good, 5/1) 69 days ago, very much having run of race. In good hands but she's another who needs to improve now upped in trip for this handicap debut.

Mandana^h³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 73

9/2

Winner at Lingfield in April. Good second of 9 in handicap (14/1) at Newmarket (10f, good to firm) 32 days ago. A first won on turf is surely not far away and she needs considering.

Forecasts

Brielle (5/2), Inquisition (5/2), Kimeko Glory (4/1), Mandana (9/2), Shady Bay (5/1), North Star (13/2), Alerta Maxima (7/1), Summer Heat (11/1)

Having shaped well in a competitive Class 2 at York on her recent handicap debut, BRIELLE is taken to capitalise on the drop in grade. The Almanzor filly is probably capable of better still and this stiffer track will probably be in her favour, too. Kimeko Glory did the job well at Sandown and she looks a big threat on the back of that, while Mandana is third choice, albeit only just as Inquisition is proving consistent and should again have a part to play.
