5/1

Fair efforts in two AW outings since joining this yard. Most recent of those came when finishing 4L fourth over 6f here and he should appreciate the step up in trip on handicap debut.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D C Costello| T: J A Osborne| OR: 64

4/1

Ray Purchase⁸¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: A Mullen| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 48| BF

9/2

Placed twice from eight starts so far. Disappointing since finishing 2L third at Kempton in September and cheekpieces worn at Newcastle last time are dispensed with on his return from a break.

Wilfred Owen^b²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: N Mackay| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 48

Career best effort when finishing 5L fourth over 7f on handicap debut at Chelmsford last month. Blinkers worn for the first time on that occasion are retained today and he is an interesting runner today.

Forecasts

Laytown (4/1), Wilfred Owen (4/1), Ray Purchase (9/2), Oneroa (5/1), Northern Law (5/1), Zapateado (6/1), Runthatbymeagain (11/1), Bad Dog (12/1), Elixsoft (25/1), Hollywood Dream (33/1), Astroblaze (40/1)

ONEROA has shaped if she'd appreciate this step up in trip and she is taken to register her first career success at the fourth time of asking on today's handicap debut. Northern Law disappointed when last in action but represents a yard who's horses are in good format present while Wilfred Owen who represents a leading stable and Zapateado, a winner already here are others to note today.
