Disappointed twice on the AW this spring prior to finishing runner-up over 1m at Brighton (good-to-firm) in April. Interesting if repeating that most recent effort here.

Ran well on his first two starts for this yard including when third over 1m at Pontefract (good-to-firm) in April. Disappointing stepped up in trip the last twice and back at a more suitable distance here.

Well beaten in all five starts so far including over this trip at Haydock (good-to-firm) on his penultimate outing. Others make more appeal in this contest.

Finished runner-up on two of her last three outings including when beaten a short-head over 1m at Salisbury (good-to-firm) last time out. Looks likely to run well once more.

Maiden after nine starts but put in his best effort since being gelded during the winter when finishing 3L fourth of eight over an extended 1m at Hamilton (good-to-firm) last week. Interesting runner in this.

Well beaten in all six starts so far including in handicap company over middle distances the last three times. Blinkers replace the blinkers worn last time out today and more needed down in trip.

Sporting a first time visor (retained) when winning a classified event over 1m at Yarmouth (good-to-firm) earlier this month. Has been beaten off lower marks than this in the past and interesting to see if he can repeat that latest effort here.

12/1
Well beaten over 1m2f to 1m4f in three maiden races so far this year. Represents a shrewd stable and worth a check in the market dropping down in trip here.

Forecasts

Halinka (11/4), Kiribati (11/4), Patching (3/1), Critical Thinking (10/1), Go On Mayson (10/1), Pinnata (12/1), Auric Goldfinger (12/1), Meteoric Riser (33/1)

Verdict

HALINKA ran well when beaten a short-head last time out and she can register her first career success in this opening classified stakes. The selection represents a yard with a 17% strike-rate recently (7/41) and she can get the better of Patching who won a similar race to this at Yarmouth last time while Auric Goldfinger can claim third under his apprentice rider.
  1. Halinka
  2. Patching
  3. Auric Goldfinger
