Connies Rose

9st 7lb

J: Kieran O’Neill

T: Grace Harris

Multiple course winner, the latest last September (6f, soft) off a 1lb lower mark; she has run some solid races in defeat this year but consistency has been an issue and others appeal more in today's field.

Seven-time winner at Chepstow and finished a solid second, splitting subsequent winners, there last time; has form over this C&D and warrants respect up just 1lb.

J: William Carson

T: Grace Harris

Seven-time course winner (4-12 over this trip); has been running over 7f of late but should be all right with the return to 5f and is back at the right sort of level off her last winning mark; enters calculations.

5 yo Gelding

OR: 85

Form & Verdict
Two wins this year, including on fast turf, and he's now 4lb lower than when placed in the Gosforth Park Cup at Newcastle in June; ran to a fair level at Goodwood nine days ago and in a race where the other three runners like to force the pace, he may be ideally positioned to pounce late; blinkers now given a go.

9st 3lb

J: Grace McEntee

T: George Boughey

Latest run at Nottingham is easy to forgive (unsuitable ground) and he had recorded a career-best RPR when winning at Wolverhampton (5f) on his penultimate start; no issue with 6f but 5f is possibly his optimum.

Form & Verdict
Stablemate of Connie's Rose; front-runner who made all to record a narrow C&D success last week; that was only a Class 6 and he's got his work cut out to defy a penalty against stronger opponents.

J: Ryan Kavanagh

C&D winner; should be well treated now but that has been the case for a while and he keeps finding one or two too strong; conditions no problem and likely to give his running again; stable also run Savannah Smiles.

Form & Verdict
Boasted some strong handicap form for Mick Appleby last season; began this year with two modest efforts, after which he underwent wind and gelding operations and was switched to Robert Cowell's stable; pleasing stable debut at Newbury last month and he's a major player off the same mark.

10st 4lb

J: Luke Morris

T: Robert Cowell

Two wins and a close second to his name in four runs over C&D; tended to be hot and cold in the past, twice winning back-to-back, which bodes well after bouncing back off 4lb lower at Yarmouth last time; goes well for Luke Morris too.

Prominent racer; won at Lingfield (5f, AW) in January on second start since returning to this stable and he went close over that same C&D next time; ran creditably back on turf at Nottingham (5f, good) 17 days ago but he has a better strike-rate on the AW (1-24 on turf).
