5/1

16 race maiden but ran well when finishing 1L third off a mark of 67 over 1m2f at Redcar (good-to-soft) earlier this month. Disappointed stepping up in trip last time out but an interesting runner in this.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Sean Mooney⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Goldie

100/1

Well held in two maiden races over further. Latest of those came over 1m4f last week and others make more appeal in this.

Form: 68

Haroon^t⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Josh Doyle⁽³⁾| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 72

5/1

Best effort in three outings for Michael Halford came when third over 1m at Limerick (good-to-firm) in June. Cost current connections €20,000 the following month and likely to play a leading role with tongue tie worn on that occasion retained today.

25/1

No show when finishing 21L fifth in a 1m4f maiden contest at Thirsk (good) on debut last week. Probably best watched with cheekpieces applied for the first time today.

Form: 5

White Rosa^h1⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P Mulrennan| T: H Palmer| BF

2/5

Finished a close second at Thirsk (1m, good-to-soft) on debut and a respectable effort when third in a competitive maiden at York last month. Third on that occasion has won easily since and one for the shortlist in a first time hood.

Forecasts

White Rosa (2/5), Haroon (5/1), Satish (5/1), Biba (25/1), Budarri (25/1), Anna's Legacy (100/1)

WHITE ROSA bring some decent form into this contest having run well on each of her two starts so far. A repeat of either of the selections two previous efforts should see her take this and she is bred to appreciate the step up in distance here. Haroon ran well on his final start in Ireland and can take second on his debut for Tony Coyle while long standing maiden Satish ran one of his better races in a handicap contest last time and is taken to finish third.
