Unite The Clans⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Rowan Scott⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Shanahan| OR: 72

10/1

Form in quartet of maidens is not exactly inspiring, has enjoyed a short break ahead of this handicap bow but plenty to work. Check market.

Form: 3559

Love Conquers⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R M Beckett| OR: 71

5/4

Has improved from a tame effort on debut to go close over 1m2f the last twice. Seems to still be improving and should be on a workable mark for this handicap debut; has to have a big chance up in trip.

Form: 922

Lord Murphy¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: R Winston| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 59

20/1

Going the right way on the AW this year, flopped sole previous attempt on turf but could be capable of leaving that behind. Twice won extended-mile at Wolverhampton, up in trip here.

Abel Tasman¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Spencer| T: E Walker| OR: 64

11/2

Good effort on debut back in February on AW at Lingfield, not as good in pair of turf maidens recently off a break however. Up in trip for handicap bow and notable jockey booking.

12/1

Maiden, stepped up to 1m2f here last time and finished close second in apprentice handicap, that was best effort yet. Another 4lb on now and up once more in journey. Not ruled out.

Avantgardist^b³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Paddy Bradley⁽⁵⁾| T: P Phelan| OR: 63

33/1

Previously with Mark Johnston he ran no sort of race at all on his first run for this yard going in snatches and hardly looking an easy ride. Steps back a couple of furlongs in trip now but can only be watched at this juncture.

Form: 254-367

The Secrets Out^h⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Ted Durcan| T: L A Dace| OR: 56| BF| CD

9/4

C&D winner in June and second here later the same month, runner up over 1m6f (good to soft) at Bath last week and cannot be discounted off the same mark here.

Forecasts

Love Conquers (5/4), The Secrets Out (9/4), Miss Inga Sock (5/2), Abel Tasman (11/2), Unite The Clans (10/1), Rock On Dandy (12/1), Beat Route (12/1), Lord Murphy (20/1), Avantgardist (33/1)

THE SECRETS OUT has gone well in both outings over this C&D (win and a second) and, having gone well over further at Bath recently, is tipped to give this another strong go from bottom weight. Love Conquers is improving and should be closely watched in the betting for this handicap debut while Abel Tasman and the prolific Miss Inga Sock are also included on the shortlist.
