Form & Verdict
Has won on ground ranging from firm to good to soft; won two in a row at Bath (1m) in May/June and he went close at Ffos Las (7.3f) and Chepstow (1m) in his next two runs; still looks on a workable mark and he has a good record at this track.

J: Finley Marsh

Picked up a couple of Class 6 events at Bath this summer and he wasn't beaten far in his hat-trick bid at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) 16 days ago; another 2lb higher today but this C&D winner should give it another good go.

Form & Verdict
Both wins have been on slow ground and latest was off this mark at Carlisle (7f) last July; hasn't made a serious impact in two runs for new yard this season, but he still has low mileage and any rain would boost his claims; not ruled out.

Both wins for Michael Dods were on ground softer than good; picked up for 1,000gns and ran quite well on his stable debut over C&D as he was quite fresh after a break; possibilities if building on that.

Wins for Michael Dods came on soft (2yo debut) and good to soft, and he hung left both runs on good to firm; 4lb higher than his last winning mark and returns from ten months off, having been picked up for 1,000gns; hard to find many positives.

Acts on any ground, but the last nine of her ten wins have been over sprint trips; has had some close calls over C&D this summer but she's not easy to predict and has been well held in her last two runs; risks attached.

Perhaps best known as a Chepstow regular but this track also suits her; yet to win this season but has been placed three times (5f/7f) and her current mark is workable; no surprise if she features.

Form & Verdict
Both wins came on AW at the beginning of the year; 0-11 on turf but she was runner-up at Ffos Las (1m, soft) in June and a good third behind Kaleidoscope Eyes there (7.3f, good) last time; should go well again and she won't mind if the ground becomes testing.

Two 1m wins on Polytrack this spring, in a Lingfield classified event and a Kempton handicap; finished runner-up three times since her last success including at Wolverhampton (7f) and Ffos Las (1m) in last two runs; up another 2lb but she still looks feasibly treated and has leading claims.

Form & Verdict
Acts on good to firm and heavy ground; has been up and down this season and was well held at Ffos Las (7.3f) last time, but she justified strong support there on her penultimate run; has claims if she can recapture that form and she's effective over C&D.

In good form over C&D this summer, most recently when keeping on well for narrow win on good ground 17 days ago; probably doesn't have much margin for error after 3lb rise but rain will aid her cause.

All eight wins have been on turf; her mark has been in freefall this year but she showed more in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when second of nine at Brighton (7f, good to firm) 12 days ago; needs to show she can maintain that revival back on AW.

Eight-time winner; lurks on a dangerous mark and might be perked up by first-time cheekpieces but has looked out of sorts on all three starts since returning from a layoff in April; leap of faith required to support her.

Won a 7f maiden on the AW last May for her previous yard; has dropped a fair way in the weights since handicapping and ran well when runner-up in a 0-75 at Ayr (7f, good; ridden more prominently than usual) last time; makes the shortlist down in grade.

Betting Forcast

5/2 Dappled Light, 6/1 Mayberry Moon, 16/1 Port Louis, 8/1 Connies Rose, 4/1 Rosemarys Rose, 9/2 Kaleidoscope Eyes, 16/1 Redredrobin, 6/1 Emery Down

Verdict

Several have possibilities but the vote goes to ROSEMARY’S ROSE, who won twice on AW early this year and has been placed in her last four runs. She still looks on workable mark and is versatile ground-wise. Kaleidoscope Eyes beat the selection at Ffos Las on her penultimate run and could pose the main threat if she can recapture that form. Emery Down is also in the mix along with in-form Dappled Light and Mayberry Moon, who is back on his last winning mark.[David Moon]
