Sandstream^h1,t1²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Jason Hart| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 35

100/1

Very little in promise in three starts to date. Has to give away plenty of weight and needs the step up in distance to work wonders.

Form: 7-73875

Eye On You

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D Nolan| T: John Murray

33/1

Trainer yet to have a horse placed in 20 attempts so far and this filly may want less of a stamina test than this judged on pedigree.

Arctic Sea²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: L Morris| T: P & O Cole

1/1

Plenty of promise in debut effort at Chelmsford at 50/1 and entitled to come on plenty for that run. Second has come out and won again since and this jockey booking catches the eye so plenty to like about his chances.

Form: 4-5311

(8)

Crindle Carr⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: A Mullen| T: T D Barron

33/1

Showed very little on debut over C&D and that was only last week so likely to need more time.

Form: 8243

Dance Dan Dan⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston

9/1

Trainer more than capable of readying one and cost plenty as a yearling (€60,000). Likely to want further with time but very possible this trip is within his compass and market check likely to be the best guide.

Form: 45

Knightsbridge Liam³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Nathan Evans⁽³⁾| T: M & D Easterby

22/1

Not much to write home about on Southwell debut but entitled to come on for that. Step up in distance should suit but others hold stronger claims.

Moamar²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: T Eaves| T: E A L Dunlop

3/1

Minor promise on debut run and cost 300,000 Gns as a yearling so there's a good chance he'll step up on that effort. Already gelded though and interesting what the market makes of him.

Form:

Nick Vedder³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Jordan Vaughan⁽³⁾| T: K R Burke

9/2

Stepped up on debut effort when third of 10 over C&D last time out. Entitled to improve for that effort and was in behind a couple of useful types there so ought to be in the shake up here.

Form: 93-31

Forecasts

Arctic Sea (1/1), Mums The Word (6/4), Moamar (3/1), Nick Vedder (9/2), Dance Dan Dan (9/1), Knightsbridge Liam (22/1), Crindle Carr (33/1), Eye On You (33/1), Sandstream (100/1)

NICK VEDDER made a smart reappearance last time out over course and distance and he may be able to build on that. Mums The Word has been a little frustrating to follow but she sets a high bar for the others to aim at here. The booking of Luke Morris for the ride on Arctic Sea is an eye catcher and he performed well at Chelmsford last time at big odds; he may improve upon that effort. 1. Nick Vedder 2. Mums The Word 3.
