Kafeel^b⁵⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore| OR: 69| D

2/1

Hard to fault his AW form which has seen him run three of his last four starts in that sphere but he is 1/6 on turf. Up 5lb for his last win he's looked resurgent for this yard and is well handicapped on his old form; could well progress again.

Form: 6211-21

Buzz Lightyere⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: S W Kelly| T: P Hide| OR: 62| BF| CD

7/4

Tends to run his best races here (three time C&D winner) and went well here last time finishing off well as he usually does. Best with a strong pace to aim at his stable had a win here yesterday and he's capable off this mark.

No Approval³²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Hayley Turner| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 60| BF| D

5/1

Yet to win for this yard but his last three runs have shown that there is a race in him although this might be a little tougher than he's been used to returning to turf. He's a consistent sort who would be of interest in a 0-60.

Shifting Star^p,t⁸

Age: 13| Weight: 8-8| J: K T O'Neill| T: J J Bridger| OR: 56| CD

8/1

Both his C&D wins have come in this race off higher marks both times although judged on his latest form he's on the downgrade now. He did hint at a slight upturn last time but he faces some in-form rivals here.

Form: 96-0005

Muthraab Aldaar⁸⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: J R Boyle| OR: 54| BF

6/1

A drop in grade off a break saw him step forward on his penultimate run on the AW (left poorly positioned). However, he failed to build on that run last time looking a rather awkward ride; well handicapped but will have to overcome his quirks.

Forecasts

Buzz Lightyere (7/4), Kafeel (2/1), No Approval (5/1), Muthraab Aldaar (6/1), Shifting Star (8/1), Duke Of North (12/1)

The best race on the card with the dual winner Shifting Star bidding to add a third win to his name although he’ll have to show a little more of late to do that. KAFEEL is very well handicapped on his old form and if he can maintain the momentum gained from his recent AW resurgence back on the turf he’ll be hard to beat for a yard that has to be respected around here. Buzz Lightyere is always worth a second glance around here but this small field may not generate the pace that he needs to run at to be seen at his best. Duke Of North will be dangerous if he turns up with No Approval and Muthraab Aldaar respected although a little up in class.
