Mystery Of War²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: George Scott

14/1

Bought for £26,000 as a yearling and may want a little further than this with time. Already gelded and maybe best to look elsewhere.

Form:

Touch Of Faith⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Alistair Rawlinson⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby

40/1

Doesn't have an obvious AW pedigree and trainer's horses usually need their debut run. Already gelded.

Driver's Girl^h1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Botti

4/5

Got the run of the race somewhat at Kempton last time but only beaten by a well-backed William Haggas horse and that's probably the strongest piece of form on offer in this race. Wears a hood for the first time today.

Form: 7-2

(6)

Flying Fynn^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁷⁾| T: J Santos

10/1

Slight improvement from debut when third at Lingfield last time. Should continue to progress but likely to do better in handicaps down the line.

Form: 7-3

(2)

Miami Sunset

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: David Probert| T: P J McBride

16/1

Archipenko filly who was a relatively cheap purchase as a yearling. Stable been a little quiet of late and she may do better down the line.

Form:

Circuit¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: William Carson| T: M Quinn

66/1

Very disappointing in a Lingfield maiden last time but her debut demonstrated she had some ability. Likely to do better in handicaps.

Form: 5-75

DRIVER'S GIRL possibly brings the strongest form line into the race. She got the run of the race at Kempton last time out but there was still plenty of promise in that effort and she may prove difficult to beat. Never Folding shaped with plenty of promise on debut and the extra furlong may suit so he could give the filly most to think about. Any market support for Mystery of War could prove significant in a weak maiden such as this. 1. Driver's Girl 2. Never Folding 3. Mystery Of War
