Haraz^b,h³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: D C Costello| T: J A Osborne| OR: 61

Has produced two solid performances on his last two visits here both earlier this month and worth a market check in first-time blinkers.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Jack Duern⁽³⁾| T: D K Ivory| OR: 58

11/4

Still a 10-race maiden and without a win in six starts on the AW. Disappointed on return from a four month lay-off when failing to beat any of 13 rivals home at Chelmsford earlier in the month. Others hold stronger profiles.

WILD FLOWER won from the front over C&D here last month picking up well in the final furlong to regain the lead holding on to all the way to the line and is taken to repeat the feat here from stall 6. Distance winner Gold Club and Haraz in first-time blinkers can hit the frame.
