Moulton's Claiming Stakes

Off time: 15:25 | Winning time: 2m 40.87s

Cayuga²³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: Rossa Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: B R Johnson| OR: 76| D

13/8

3-4 on AW surfaces since January and said to be far less effective on grass. On official ratings he has a difficult task if a couple of these run to their best, but there are less doubts casting a shadow over his ability to deliver.

Form: 7/19115

Raashdy^p⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: P W Hiatt| OR: 67| CD

9/2

Has grabbed five AW races since October but they were low grade handicaps and he meets a few of these on disadvantageous terms.

Form: 323-105

(4)

Viewpoint³²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-0| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: H Bethell| OR: 78| CD

11/2

Claimed out of Mick Appleby's yard having taken a C&D seller last summer. Not seen for eleven months but favoured by the weights if the market indicates he is ready.

Animated Hero^t⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Cam Hardie| T: R Menzies

33/1

Half-brother to a Flat winner at around this trip. Worth a go here having shown a bit of ability in bumpers and little aptitude for hurdling.

Bertie Moon^p²³

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: Kevin Lundie⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 62| D

9/1

Made all to win an apprentice seller during the winter. Best run since came in a Southwell claimer, but he has a tough task at these weights.

Sheila's Fancy^b1²²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Liam Keniry| T: J S Moore| OR: 55

12/1

11-race maiden makes first foray into plating class, but would be meeting most of these on more favourable terms in a handicap. Blinkers fitted for first time.

Form: 025-347

(2)

Kashgar³⁵⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 8-11| J: S Donohoe| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 66

25/1

Returned from an absence to land a 2m Chepstow handicap in 2017. Has a stiff task at the weights over this trip.

Form: 0046/14-

Rule 4

Rule 4 applies to all bets - deduction 15p in the pound

Forecasts

Cayuga (13/8), Plymouth Sound (3/1), Raashdy (9/2), Viewpoint (11/2), Bertie Moon (9/1), Sheila's Fancy (12/1), Kashgar (25/1), Animated Hero (33/1)

Viewpoint and Plymouth Sound are the picks based on official ratings, but CAYUGA should arrive in better shape and can add to his AW successes in this and better grade. Raashdy has a stiff task but rates a bigger danger than Bertie Moon or Kashgar.
