War At Sea^h²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Oisin Murphy| T: D M Simcock| OR: 77

10/11

Has gradually been getting his act together since being gelded and his last run at Yarmouth was arguably his best. This step up in trip promises to suit and he is a leading contender.

Golden Set¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Jim Crowley| T: J R Fanshawe

8/1

Showed plenty of promise on debut at Doncaster, but failed to back that up last time. This is easier, but she needs to build on that earlier show on her last outing before being handicapped.

Form: 60

Star Guide¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: M Dwyer| T: S Kirk

5/1

Some promise on debut, but much better when second at Kempton last time. Likely to be in the shake-up if continuing that progression.

Form: 52

Sula Island³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: F Sweeney| T: A King

5/2

Shaped with promise over C&D, but did not really back it up last time. Still early days and she has a chance, but her future may lie in handicaps.

Forecasts

War At Sea (10/11), Sula Island (5/2), Star Guide (5/1), Golden Set (8/1), Fire Whirl (12/1)

Fire Whirl looks an interesting debutant who is well worth checking out in the betting, while Golden Set shaped well on her racecorse bow and would have strong claims if building on that. Star Guide and Sula Island have also shown a degree of promise, but WAR AT SEA boasts the best form and is taken to get off the mark.
