4-time C&D winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. 10/3, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (12.2f) 20 days ago, left poorly placed having raced well off the pace. Still, not one to dismiss out of hand having fallen plenty in the weights.

4-time course winner. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 7/1) 45 days ago. Comes here on a workable mark and danger to all if getting his own way on the front end.

C&D winner in June but lesser efforts on 2 of his 3 starts since, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good, 10/1) 23 days ago, weakening over 2f out. Tongue strap on 1st time and likely to bounce back returned to all-weather.

Seventh of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good, 9/2) 48 days ago, pushed along over 2f out and never on terms. Others more persuasive.

Winner at Windsor (1¼m) in May and ran to a similar level when second at Ffos Las (10f) in June. Seemed to find the test too much when sixth of 8 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f) 7 weeks ago and she's the type to bounce back.

Course winner. Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 12/1) 10 days ago, short of room over 1f out and keeping on again final 100 yds. Respected as one of 2 runners from this yard with her rider taking off a handy 5 lb.

28/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) 43 days ago, racing wide and always behind. Starts out for new yard now but her record is a patchy one.

Respectable third of 8 in handicap at Leicester (10f, good to firm, 9/1) 25 days ago, headed last ½f and held close home. Needs bearing in mind from this mark and a good gallop to aim at will help.
Timeform Verdict 
A wide-open contest with the tentative vote in favour of CERULEAN SUMMER. Dylan Cunha's filly got as close as she ever has to shedding the maiden tag when a close-up third at Leicester 25 days ago and a repeat gives her sound claims in the hope she gets a decent pace to aim at. Tony Carroll's pair Carey Street and Boujee Gold head up the dangers, along with Caramay.
Betting Forecast
10/1 Busby (Ire), 13/2 Carey Street (Ire), 11/1 Bakersboy, 20/1 Storm Asset, 22/1 Mhajim (Ire), 11/1 Wallaroo (Ire), 9/1 High Court Judge (Usa), 8/1 Caramay, 8/1 Boujee Gold, 28/1 Quick Away, 18/1 Roman Princess, 5/1 Cerulean Summer (Ire)
