1400m – Turf

1

Nine Tenths

Her last five starts – including two wins – have come on all-weather surfaces. Her brilliant trainer has thought about group three company for her so she looks interesting back on turf.

2

Pinafore

A four-time winner but has become disappointing. Perhaps the combination of Ryan Moore riding and blinkers – both for the first time- will help.

3

Elim

A personal best in Listed company at Pontefract last month, getting to the front only to be passed by two others late on. This drop to 1400m may prove helpful.

4

Back See Daa

Looked to run a career best earlier this month when only grabbed late on – after leading – over a similar trip to this at Haydock. One of plenty with winning chances in this.

5

Key To Cotai

Came from the back to win a handicap at Newmarket in May. That was over this trip which looks ideal for her. A very solid fourth at Haydock this month considering a poor passage.

6

Arisaig

Winner of four of her nine starts, doing best last time when surging from off the pace to win a 12-runner fast-ground 1600m handicap at Goodwood. Raised 6lb and back down in trip.

7

Raknah

Gained her third career success and first on turf with a front-running 1400m Listed success at Galway this month. That was on yielding ground but her trainer insists that she’ll be fine on faster.

8

Queen Of Mougins

Decent efforts on her last two starts – finishing fast at Newmarket most recently – and her pedigree suggests that this first 1400m run may bring some improvement.

9

Miss Information

In good shape last month with convincing handicap victories over similar trips, at Chepstow and Epsom. Then ran well off a 12lb higher mark at Goodwood, especially considering a poor trip.

10

International Girl

Her five career wins have come over shorter trips and there have been some disappointments when tried at 1400m. Unlucky not to have finished closer when fourth last time.

11

Alfa Kellenic

On a winning roll defying rising handicap marks to win her last four starts – including here – and latterly getting up in the final strides over 1200m at Ayr. Another 3lb rise, and up to 1400m.

12

Enola Grey

Only one win on a turf surface but she ran a solid third – at odds of 40/1 – at Beverley last time without ever looking like winning that handicap.

13

Mereside Diva

Looked happy over this course and distance when second of 18 in May, prior to a victory at Thirsk. Started favourite at Haydock this month but underperformed.

14

Sunfall

Having a rewarding year winning for the third time in 2024 when gaining a narrow handicap victory at Haydock earlier this month. Raised 3lb for that.

15

Rock Melody

Versatile as far as ground and trip are concerned. Back in the winners’ enclosure recently when beating 14 rivals on soft ground at Hamilton.

16

Queen’s Reign

Proved her 3yo ability when landing a 1600m handicap at Goodwood in May. Led but run down late on when a slightly disappointing favourite at Newmarket when last seen.

17

Coppull Hall Lane

Very much has an improving profile and battled on well to win on her handicap debut at Redcar last month. Only 2lb higher for that good effort.

18

Aquacell

Has run decently in handicaps on her latest two starts, last seen in late June when second – though no match for the winner – over 1400m at Newmarket.
