Dauphine Ereine¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 12-1| J: David Noonan| T: D Pipe| OR: 127| D

2/1

Dynaste's half-sister was a triple winner in France before arriving in Somerset. Returned following an absence and wind surgery 18 days ago to produce a highly encouraging effort. Indicated she might want this sort of trip and hard to dismiss.

Form: 5/1113-2

Lord Bryan^t⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: R T Dunne| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 124| CD

9/5

A 10lb rise for his easy Hereford success seems fair enough but he seems better suited to more testing conditions.

Form: 31P731

Maguire's Glen¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: L Heard| T: G Harris| OR: 116| D

8/1

Runs to a fairly predictable level and one which indicates he needs to up his game at this level and on ground quicker than ideal.

Form: 732P14

Beallandendall¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-6| J: Nick Scholfield| T: D Faulkner| OR: 104| C

9/4

Has been in good form around here on bottomless ground and in lower grade company than this. Has a bit to prove.

Forecasts

Lord Bryan (9/5), Dauphine Ereine (2/1), Beallandendall (9/4), Above Board (4/1), Maguire's Glen (8/1), Myroundorurs (8/1), Floresco (14/1), Perfect Timing (16/1), Fear Glic (25/1)

ABOVE BOARD has shown two ways of running but wind surgery may improve his consistency and his form against the likes of The Happy Chappy, Coeur Blimey and Rolling Dylan suggest he will exploit his current mark before long. Myroundoorurs has the ground he wants and goes well fresh, but needs to prove his stamina. Dauphine Ereine ran well for a long way on her return and this shorter trip looks ideal for her.
