Madame Jo Jo was beaten only a neck over track and trip on her penultimate start but remains without a win in 13 outings so far and the less-exposed PARTY DANCER gets a speculative vote to improve now handicapping for the first time. Telltale is a similar type to the selection while both Bbob Alula and Elite Shadow slide further down the weights but none inspire any real confidence in a weak contest.
Bbob Alula 25-1 (9-6) Behind, headway over 1f out, never on terms, 9th of 17, 7 3/4l behind Conflagration (9-2) at Leicester 7f hcp (6) gd in Jun.
Party Dancer 12-1 (8-11) Hung left throughout, chased leaders, ridden 2f out, soon not quicken, weakened inside final furlong, lost 4th towards finish, 5th of 10, 5 3/4l behind Buffer Zone (9-9) at Windsor 6f stks (5) gd in Jun.
Elite Shadow 33-1 (9-6) Mid-division, under pressure halfway, soon weakened, 15th of 17, 14 3/4l behind Conflagration (9-2) at Leicester 7f hcp (6) gd in Jun.
Telltale 33-1 (9-2) Chased leaders, outpaced over 2f out, soon well held, 5th of 9, 9 1/2l behind Flying Sparkle (9-4) at Chepstow 7f stks (5) sft in Jun.
Madame Jo Jo 8-1 (9-0) Close up, ridden over 2f out, effort when edged left over 1f out, kept on one pace, 3rd of 14, 4 1/2l behind Glamorous Dream (9-7) at Salisbury 7f hcp (6) gf in Jun.
Bob's Girl 33-1 (9-8) Behind, ridden over 2f out, soon weakened, last of 8, 24 3/4l behind Roser Moter (9-8) at Wolverhampton 1m 4f hcp (6) pol in May.
