Echo Of Lightning^p⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Ben Sanderson⁽⁷⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 83| D

12/1

Produced a big run last week but a 3lb rise in the weights puts him up to a mark from which he has struggled recently. Nevertheless, a change of yard and different tactics have seen some improvement and he should like it around here.

Form: 318732

Roaring Forties^p⁵^{(ex 6)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: P Makin| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 76| D

9/2

Highly impressive in first time cheekpieces at Musselburgh on Monday. Effectively up just 5lb here with the handicapper likely to impose a harsher penalty in future.

Form: 525261

Intense Style²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁷⁾| T: J L Eyre| OR: 80| D

11/1

Took advantage of a good mark and a drop in class to score under this rider last month. A 3lb rise still has him on the right side of the handicapper based on his best form and he cannot be discounted.

Showboating²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: J Balding| OR: 80| CD

16/1

Won this in 2013 and was beaten less than 2L last year. Looks high enough in the weights this time and would want some rain.

Form: 115047

Flyboy^b³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: D Nolan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 78

7/1

Has an overall record of 1-20 and his best efforts have come on softer ground than is forecast for this.

Form: 326272

Proud Archi⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Dods| OR: 79| D

16/1

Waited to confirm his victory over Lady In Question on penultimate start but he has performed poorly since. Needs races to drop right for him and others are more appealing.

Fieldsman^h1¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Shane Gray| T: D O'Meara| OR: 78| D

20/1

Has squandered some good opportunities and two poor AW runs now have the trainer reaching for the hood. Will be competitive from this mark if the aids work.

Form: 822365

Bouclier⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Ryan Timby⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 77| D

66/1

Down the field at lengthy odds on his last three starts and hard to see him turning around the stable's fortunes.

Form: 113000

(11)

Boots And Spurs^v⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Jamie Gormley⁽⁷⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 77| D

12/1

Showed a bit more last time when the ground would have been too tacky. Has dropped below his last winning mark and has an excellent chance if the rain stays away.

Form: 435000

Penny Pot Lane²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Lewis Edmunds⁽³⁾| T: R M Whitaker| OR: 77| BF

10/1

Behind Lady In Question on last run over this trip and work to do off this mark to reverse placings. Two wins over 6f since indicate significant improvement, but also show she is better over shorter.

Form: 823113

(8)

God Willing³³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 76| D

11/2

2-40 record and his form has been erratic this term during which his mark has slipped over a stone. Hard to fancy on current evidence but would be worth noting if coming in for support.

Form: 950254

Madroos¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Harrison Shaw⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 76

20/1

Winner of a 1m Gowran Park maiden for Kevin Prendergast in June 2016. Will be well handicapped when the stable show signs of a change in their fortunes.

Form: 373340

Our Charlie Brown¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Sullivan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 76| CD

10/1

2-2 around here with both victories coming under this rider. Stable have taken two of the last three renewals of this and the forecast quicker ground could see him deliver a third.

Form: 872135

Lady In Question¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J Garritty| T: R A Fahey| OR: 73| BF| D

10/1

Came from a hopeless position to finish third at Lingfield and she looks ready for the extra furlong here. Handicapper has not made it easy for her, but she is in great form at present.

Forecasts

Roaring Forties (9/2), God Willing (11/2), Flyboy (7/1), Lady In Question (10/1), Penny Pot Lane (10/1), Our Charlie Brown (10/1), Portledge (10/1), Intense Style (11/1), Boots And Spurs (12/1), Echo Of Lightning (12/1), Showboating (16/1), Proud Archi (16/1), Fieldsman (20/1), Madroos (20/1), Bouclier (66/1)

Echo Of Lightning should make a bold show from the front under topweight and this track will suit that racing style. Our Charlie Brown is unbeaten here and today's rider knows him well. Intense Style and Portledge are recent winners with the potential to defy the handicapper, whilst Boots And Spurs is on an attractive mark if conditions remain sound. ROARING FORTIES was so impressive on Monday that he would be expected to defy a penalty should cheekpieces have a similarly positive effect.
