Serenade The Stars^v²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: J Tate| OR: 67

8/11

Is going the right way with a narrow defeat at Wolverhampton two starts ago followed by an impressive victory at Chelmsford last time. All indications are that this further trip will suit him even better.

Form: 90

Dusty Berry^p1¹⁸⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Fahy| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 65

50/1

Has shown little in three races on the turf so far and this opening handicap mark looks a little tough. Best watched in first time cheekpieces.

Form: 506-

(1)

The Last Debutante¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 64

13/2

Tries this trip for the first time today and it looks like it should suit by all accounts, especially given it was a lack of pace that caused him to fail to justify favouritism at Wolverhampton last time.

Form: 7-52251

(7)

Affair⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁷⁾| T: H Morrison| OR: 57

50/1

Has looked his most impressive at sprint distances so this big step up in trip is somewhat puzzling, though at least his handicap mark is slowly sinking.

Form: 609-658

(4)

Masterfilly³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: R Kingscote| T: E Walker| OR: 56

7/2

Has always looked like she would like a trip and tries 1m4f for the first time today. Was behind Serenade the Stars over shorter last time, both should improve for this longer distance.

Form: 0576-5

(9)

Hot Lick^h⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: L P Keniry| T: A M Balding| OR: 56

33/1

Has shown little in three maidens, and though his opening mark is fair, a step forward will be needed over a trip that should suit better. Hood back on.

Form: 000-39

(8)

Master Billie²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: M Dwyer| T: W R Muir| OR: 51

12/1

Has much to find with Serenade the Stars on his 8L sixth to him at Chelmsford last time, and is yet to show any real ability, though he is relatively lightly raced.

Form: 770-6

(6)

Gog Elles^p³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Hollie Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Moore| OR: 48

12/1

Was behind Serenade the Stars and ahead of Masterfilly at Wolverhampton last time, but looks perhaps the least likely to improve for the big step up in trip. Not completely out of the reckoning, however.

Form: 6673-54

(10)

Hi There Silver¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: M Madgwick| OR: 45

80/1

No form to note over shorter. Steps up in trip today and that could bring about some improvement, but still has much to prove.

Form: 700-946

(2)

Shadow Of Hercules^v1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Aled Beech⁽⁷⁾| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 45

125/1

Has it all to do with only two horses behind him on six starts so far. Visor is applied for the first time but that will have to work wonders for him to have a say.

Form: 90007-0

Serenade The Stars (8/11), Masterfilly (7/2), The Last Debutante (13/2), Settle Petal (8/1), Gog Elles (12/1), Master Billie (12/1), Hot Lick (33/1), Affair (50/1), Dusty Berry (50/1), Hi There Silver (80/1), Shadow Of Hercules (125/1)

This is a race that revolves around SERENADE THE STARS. All indications are that this new trip should suit, and if able to overcome a recent rise in the weights his rivals will have it all to do. He is just one of a number of horses in this race stepping up in trip, including Masterfilly, who he was ahead of at Wolverhampton last month but who should also enjoy the three extra furlongs, and The Last Debutante, who has come close to the winners of her last two races. 1.
