Not in the best of form of late showing pace but failing to finish her races off. Ridden along after just 2f last time out here in June. Best watched.

Scored with something in hand when bolting in at Pontefract in June and could have found the 6lb penalty a burden when beaten last time out at Ripon.

Hit form last September with a Thirsk victory when swooping late on soft ground. Probably failed to see out 7f on soft ground, before finishing 9L behind Showboating last time out in a Catterick, 7f handicap.

Well beaten and no impression on last two starts at Thirsk. Last win came at this course in April 2016 off a mark of 77. Could be dangerous from this mark.

As with all runners from this yard, caution is advised coming back from their lay-offs, though the trainer is having winners. 11 of 12 last time out at Beverley in April.

One win from 11 starts but gone close at Chester on a couple of occasions. Both of those efforts came with cut in the ground. Second of 11 last time out at Redcar in May, a race that has produced the third - 1¾L behind Boundsy - Flawlessly to win on his return to the North-East course.

The four-year-old has yet to win this season, beaten on all four starts since moving from the Tim Easterby yard. Four career wins have come when rated between 63 and 68.

Last two wins have come on the AW over 6f and looks as though he remains in good form despite the fact that he's not won on turf for nearly three years now. Dwelt in stalls on last start at Carlisle in the middle of last month.

Forecasts

Boundsy (9/4), Jacob's Pillow (4/1), Oriental Splendour (11/2), Spirit Of Wedza (13/2), Indian Pursuit (12/1), Dinneratmidnight (14/1), Mininggold (16/1), Market Choice (16/1), Sarabi (20/1), Perfect Symphony (25/1), Dusty Blue (25/1), New Road Side (33/1), Space War (50/1)

Verdict

Indian Pursuit, Spirit Of Wedza and, possibly Jacob's Pillow will be disputing the early lead here, with preference for the John Quinn-trained, INDIAN PURSUIT the selection just ahead of the quick, Boundsy, who will be doing all his best work at the business end of the race.
  1. Indian Pursuit
  2. Boundsy
  3. Jacob's Pillow
