Global Exceed^b⁸^{(ex 6)}

Age: 2| Weight: 9-13| J: F Norton| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 60

9/4

Landed a higher grade race over 6f last week despite looking an awkward ride. Stable in form but possibly not one to take a short price about.

Form: 354261

(14)

Just For The Craic¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: T E Whelan| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 62| BF| D

20/1

Beat two subsequent nursery winners when landing a Catterick claimer. However, that form still leaves him on a difficult mark as underlined when disappointing last time.

Form: 354910

(2)

Cove Beach⁵⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Mitch Godwin⁽⁵⁾| T: P & O Cole| OR: 61

20/1

Related to a number of useful sprinters but has yet to live up to the billing on the racecourse. More required and ground is a further concern.

Form: 0598

(7)

Zapateado³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 60

12/1

Has looked short of a finish in three previous starts but makes her nursery debut in a modest contest. Hard to argue she is well handicapped and she may need further, but worth monitoring in the market.

Form: 724

(6)

Alaskan Star^p¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: S J Drowne| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 60

25/1

Yet to make the frame in four starts and has not really shown enough to be worthy of the mark the handicapper has allotted him.

Form: 6777

(1)

Madame Jo Jo²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Jane Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 60

20/1

Has only shown a modest level of ability so far. Handicap mark looks high enough for what she has achieved and stable are going through a quiet spell.

Form: 005

(9)

Cent Flying¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: M Dwyer| T: W R Muir| OR: 55

8/1

Has shown steady improvement, particularly since racing on quicker ground. If conditions remain on the soft side, his chances would appear less realistic.

Form: 0694

(3)

Hollie's Dream¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S Hitchcott| T: P D Evans| OR: 55

33/1

Well beaten at big prices on each start and she drops considerably in trip for this. Hard to fancy at present.

Form: 506

(4)

Hope And Glory^p¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 54

7/2

Has helped force the pace in recent starts but has failed to get home. Drop back to 5f can only help and stable have hit form in the past few days.

Form: 785373

(15)

Lady Lintera^h¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Joey Haynes| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 53

25/1

Fourth at Ripon on soft ground in July and that effort would put her in with a realistic chance. Had a stiff task at the weights in a seller last time but this looks easier and she has a nice draw too. Rare runner here for the yard.

Form: 87405

Owen The Law^v1¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Fran Berry| T: P D Evans| OR: 51

20/1

Has claims on his C&D fourth on similar ground in June which represents his best effort. Visor now tried after a poor effort on the AW last time.

Form: 06460

(12)

Red For Danger^h¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: T P Queally| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 49

8/1

Caught the eye last time when finishing well and denied a clear run. Drops a further 2lb for this and stable are a respectable 15-53 around here.

Form: 87475

(13)

Rio Santos¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: J Quinn| T: B R Millman| OR: 49

16/1

Ground turned against him at Lingfield on his latest start when conditions were softer than described and he found himself on the wrong side of the track. Remains on a viable mark but pedigree suggests he needs a faster surface.

Form: 78849

(11)

Cranworth Phoenix³³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Raul Da Silva| T: B Barr| OR: 49

33/1

Plating class juvenile who was beaten 29L last time. Hard to envisage a turnaround with the stable having gone more than eight weeks without a winner.

Form: 40620

(8)

Roses In June^b1⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: K T O'Neill| T: J S Moore| OR: 47

25/1

Plating class maiden who has tried a variety of trips without ever promising to win. Drops to 5f here and blinkers tried by trainer with a 1-73 record with first time headgear.

Form: 024384

Forecasts

Global Exceed (9/4), Hope And Glory (7/2), Red For Danger (8/1), Cent Flying (8/1), Zapateado (12/1), Rio Santos (16/1), Owen The Law (20/1), Cove Beach (20/1), Madame Jo Jo (20/1), Just For The Craic (20/1), Lady Lintera (25/1), Alaskan Star (25/1), Roses In June (25/1), Hollie's Dream (33/1), Cranworth Phoenix (33/1)

This looks a difficult race with Global Exceed bringing recent winning form into this for an in form yard, but having looked a tricky ride in the process. A 6lb penalty makes him less attractive and preference is for HOPE AND GLORY who has shown speed from the gate and who will be suited by the drop back to 5f. Lady Lintera will appreciate the conditions and could go close at decent odds whilst Red For Danger is another to consider.
