Yard are rather quiet at the moment and even though he turned in his best effort for this yard on his penultimate start he failed to back that up last time and looks one of the lesser lights here.
Stepped up to 1m4f to break her duck in a maiden at Wolverhampton. That form has been devalued since and she looked a bit wayward last time. Trainer 5-18 at the track.
Added to last seasons three victories when landing a poor race last time in good style. A 6lb rise for that seems harsh and requires him to produce a career best in order to follow up.
Yet to win off a mark this high and with this trip looking short of her best it may be prudent to look elsewhere.
Won at this meeting last year off 6lb lower. Looked to be coming to hand off a significantly lower mark at Haydock last time and hard to argue he is well treated here.
C&D winner here in February and went down by a short-head here next time. Ground has been wrong on last couple of starts but back down to a competitive mark. Needs to be produced at the last possible moment so not one for the fainthearted.
Form has been mixed since dead-heating here in December. Probably needs a decent pace to suit his waiting tactics and he is yet to run a bad race here. Trainer 11-43 at this venue.
Four-time C&D winner who went down to an in form rival last time. Needs to find more off a higher mark but has the scope to do so for trainer looking for her first winner since taking over from the late Alan Swinbank.
Well beaten here on last start in March and trainer appears to have better options in this with Suitor and Carthage.
Secured a C&D success on only visit here. Just 1lb above last winning mark and has applied himself well off higher. Needs to bounce back from a couple of less convincing efforts and he has something to find with Go George Go.
2-23 and both successes have come over this trip. Well beaten on each run on this surface but looking well treated this time. One to note in the market for a stable that are going well.
Some of his better efforts have come on AW surfaces. Has been experimenting over longer trips lately but has each-way prospects here off this mark and with the stable in form.
Forecasts
Cape Peninsular (7/2), Airton (5/1), Lac Leman (11/2), Suitor (13/2), Go George Go (7/1), Theos Lolly (8/1), London Glory (9/1), Wor Lass (20/1), Dolphin Village (22/1), Falcon's Fire (25/1), Carthage (33/1), Bank Bonus (66/1)
Cape Penisular and Airton represent trainers with good track records. The latter has yet to run a bad race here but he would prefer a good gallop and that is not guaranteed with no obvious pacemaker in the lineup. That could be an issue for Cape Penisular too whilst Suitor has form over shorter and won't mind a steady pace. The latter looks the pick of the Ellison trio despite a stiff mark and he is worth a market check along with Carthage. Go George Go has won here four times and has to be shortlisted along with London Glory who is on an attractive mark. As this could prove tactical we side with LAC LEMAN who won a slowly run race here and went down narrowly next time in a faster contest next time. He is well weighted on those efforts and has a pilot on board who is adept at producing horses late as will be required here.
- Lac Leman
- Airton
