Shires Live Here On 7th July Handicap

Off time: 17:26 | Winning time: 1m 0.87s

(1)

Sir Harry Collins^p¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: R Winston| T: R Spencer| OR: 54

9/2

Finished second on his handicap debut at Lingfield over 6f off this mark but the subsequent runs have been poor even with first-time cheekpieces on last time out.

Form: 669-270

(7)

Percy Toplis^v1¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Adam Beschizza| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 53

9/2

Nursery winner last year off a mark of 67 over 6f at Hamilton but rather regressed after that. Hasn't started out this season any better and ran poorly last time out.

Form: 807-080

(5)

Seneca Chief^h¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: George Downing| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 53

12/1

Four runs this year have only shown limited ability and he now steps into handicaps for the first time. Hood retained after he ran too free in the same headgear last time out.

Form: 5550

(12)

Sadieroseclifford¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: George Wood⁽⁵⁾| T: G C Bravery| OR: 52

6/1

Very much lost her way last year but made a step back in the right direction on her first start for this yard although she remains a maiden.

Form: 87789-4

(8)

Sweet Amazement⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S J Drowne| T: M D I Usher| OR: 50

20/1

Has very little form to show so far as she starts her life in handicaps off a mark of 50. The hood employed last time out didn't really appear to help and she can only be watched here.

Form: 6-86

(4)

Joysunny⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Nathan Evans⁽³⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 49

15/8

Turned in her best performance last time out at Catterick over 5f off a 3lb lower mark showing much improved form. If she can build on that back on the AW she would have a chance here.

Form: 05-652

(6)

Glam'selle^p²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: L Morris| T: R Harris| OR: 46

8/1

Her form overall is very poor with only the odd glimpse of ability although she does looks slightly better on the AW than she does on turf. Last few runs have been poor though and she would need to show more to take a hand here.

Form: 526400

(3)

Mesmeric Moment^b²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Charlie Bennett⁽³⁾| T: S A Harris| OR: 45

14/1

Winner of a seller at Windsor last year she has shown little since and has failed to beat a horse home in her last four starts.

Form: 8-47750

(2)

Artsteelwork³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁷⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 45

16/1

Drops down to the minimum trip on her handicap debut having shown very little form in three maiden starts. Hard to see her taking a hand even in this lowly company based on her outings so far.

Form: 8-00

Popsilca¹²

Weight: 9-5| Age: 3

T: M Quinn J: P Cosgrave

(11)

Violet Mist³⁷

T: Sarah Hollinshead J: Ryan Tate

Forecasts

Joysunny (15/8), Percy Toplis (9/2), Sir Harry Collins (9/2), Sadieroseclifford (6/1), Glam'selle (8/1), Popsilca (10/1), Seneca Chief (12/1), Mesmeric Moment (14/1), Artsteelwork (16/1), Sweet Amazement (20/1), Violet Mist (20/1), Tess Graham (25/1)

The card ends with another modest and unappealing contest with very few having any solid and progressive handicap form. JOYSUNNY has to prove that she is suited by AW surfaces but her run at Catterick last time was a significant step forward and she gets a tentative vote here. Sadieroseclifford could be on the way back with Popsilca looking as though she might be able to revive over a trip that looks by far her best.
