Leaving Home³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: James Bowen| T: P & M Bowen

10/3

Getaway gelding who cost €6,500 as a foal. Sent off at 10/1 and gradually weakened into a well beaten 10th on debut at Ffos Las. Should be better for the experience.

Form: 0

Espalion⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Reed⁽⁵⁾| T: Tim Vaughan

9/1

Similar efforts when beaten 21L & 20L on first two starts. Needs to step up on those performances to take a hand here but time on his side and experience will help.

Form: 5-5

Noah And The Ark⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Lorcan Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr

6/5

Purchased for £20,000 at the Doncaster sales in May having won an open point-to-point at Flete Park in April. Vinnie Roe gelding who has plenty of stamina in the pedigree. Likely to need a bit further than this in time but interesting on debut.

Form: 1-

Musical Stardust⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Jamie Brace⁽⁷⁾| T: A M Hales

25/1

Hasn't cut much ice in three starts for Sam Thomas. Makes debut for new yard today but needs to step up considerably on what we have seen so far to be involved.

Form: 67-8

This Lovely Lady²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Mr Alex Ferguson⁽⁷⁾| T: O Murphy

11/4

seventh foal out of a maiden dam (Princesse Rooney), but is a half-sister to various winners including Miles To Milan. Shaped with promise on her debut when staying on into fourth. Interesting to see how she goes in the market compared to Georgiator

Form: 4

Pac It In²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Mr Tommie M O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: D Weston

33/1

33/1 and 66/1 for her two starts so far and has been well beaten. This is probably less competitive but needs to do plenty more to be involved all the same.

Form: 0-9

Forecasts

Noah And The Ark (6/5), This Lovely Lady (11/4), Leaving Home (10/3), Templepark (4/1), Georgiator (6/1), Espalion (9/1), Musical Stardust (25/1), Pac It In (33/1)

As always the market should be a pretty good guide as to what we should expect here. Olly Murphy holds a strong hand with This Lovely Lady shaping well on debut and Georgiator an interesting newcomer. Slight preference is for NOAH AND THE ARK who was purchased for £20,000 after winning a point in May and looks a likely type on paper for a yard that do well in this sphere.
