Racing UK In Glorious HD Handicap

Off time: 19:16 | Winning time: 1m 39.39s

(1)

Physical Power³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Hannon| OR: 72

10/3

Has improved with each run and took a giant step forward last time. Shaped as though she might fare better going right-handed and handicap mark looks fair.

Form: 093-

(3)

Golden Image¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: J G Portman| OR: 71| BF

11/4

Supported to build on debut promise last time but found her stable companion too good. Finished well after being produced wide and this step up to a mile is a positive move, as is the jockey booking.

Form: 382-

(2)

Carp Kid⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D C Costello| T: J A Osborne| OR: 71| D

4/1

Winner of a seller and a claimer at this trip. A drop to 7f failed to pay off last Sunday when the pace was too slow and he has to be considered a contender this time.

Form: 781914-

(6)

Classic Charm¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jack Duern⁽³⁾| T: D K Ivory| OR: 71

14/1

Looks handicapped on her debut third and that effort would appear to flatter her judged on both starts since.

Form: 306-

(5)

Straight Ash^p1⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 70

8/1

Winner of a weak race on soft ground over 5f in June and well held in three nurseries over further since. Still looks too high in the weights at present and cheekpieces are now tried.

Form: 541876-

(4)

Black Medusa²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P J McDonald| T: P & O Cole| OR: 69

7/1

Has shown some ability but he did take a backward step last time and others are more attractively handicapped.

Form: 947-

(7)

Sheriff⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: A Kirby| T: M L W Bell| OR: 69

6/1

Handicap debutant who has shown some ability but is yet to string two good runs together. Definite claims on form of penultimate start and jockey booking looks positive.

Form: 6065-

Forecasts

Golden Image (11/4), Physical Power (10/3), Carp Kid (4/1), Sheriff (6/1), Black Medusa (7/1), Straight Ash (8/1), Classic Charm (14/1)

This looks a good opportunity for GOLDEN IMAGE to recover recent Wolverhampton losses when heavily supported. She had a troubled passage at a crucial point and eventually found her stable companion had got first run. Physical Power improved greatly last time and has to be feared if running to a similar level, whilst Sherriff has proved inconsistent but enters calculations on the form of his penultimate start.
