Starlight Mystery³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: A Kirby| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 77

11/2

Won twice as a juvenile and shaped like a return to form was imminent at Windsor last time. Not ruled out if building on that now back up in trip.

Form: 60-4552

(5)

Nibras Galaxy³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: I Mohammed| OR: 75

12/1

Got his head in front for the first time in a competitive race at Redcar two starts back but struggled off his revised mark subsequently. Needs to improve to have a say.

Form: 73-6218

(2)

Ashington^p¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: L M Cumani| OR: 74| BF

4/1

Still without a win after seven starts but his two efforts this campaign have been much improved and the step up to this new trip could see him in an even better light. Ought to run well again.

Form: 6376-22

Dragon Mountain¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: James Doyle| T: H Palmer| OR: 74

7/2

Has run well on each of his four starts including his seasonal reappearance at Kempton last time. May improve for his turf debut here and the step up in trip; capable of running well from a workable handicap mark.

Form: 3D5-4

(4)

Mapped¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: W Buick| T: C Hills| OR: 74

14/1

Ran well on soft ground on sole start as a juvenile but hasn't gone on from that in three starts this season. Likely to improve at some point and he makes his handicap debut here but he will need to improve to trouble some of these rivals.

Form: 3-446

(7)

Martinengo⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: J Mitchell| T: P W Chapple-Hyam| OR: 73

40/1

Relatively well beaten in each of his three starts and showed very little on latest start at Windsor. Handicap debut and stepped up in trip but hasn't shown enough to be of interest here.

Form: 0-50

(6)

Robinson Crusoe²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: R L Moore| T: R Hannon| OR: 72

8/1

Beaten on each of his seven starts and has had issues with slow starts throughout his career as seen at Goodwood last time. Stayed on well that day and step up in trip could suit so can't be ruled out with Moore in the saddle.

Form: 665-304

(8)

Hyanna¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 72

11/4

Won on soft ground on her final start for Tim Easterby and ran well at Sandown last time when runner-up on debut for this yard. Only up 1lb for that and may improve for the step up in trip here.

Form: 475-412

Forecasts

Hyanna (11/4), Dragon Mountain (7/2), Ashington (4/1), Starlight Mystery (11/2), Robinson Crusoe (8/1), Nibras Galaxy (12/1), Mapped (14/1), Martinengo (40/1)

STARLIGHT MYSTERY gave the impression she would be plying her trade at a higher level than this in the early stages of her juvenile career and after a promising effort at Windsor last time, the filly can build on that here now tried over 1m4f. Ashington and Hyanna are two more that should appreciate the extra yardage here with narrow preference for the latter with more progress likely for her new yard.
