Lightening Dance²⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Joey Haynes| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 75| D

8/1

Strong clams on her first three starts but would be hard to fancy on what she produced afterwards. Back from a break and with the yard's horses running well.

Form: 21280-

Timpani²⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Louis Steward| T: R M Beckett| OR: 80

9/2

170,000 gns daughter of Raven's Pass and half-sister to six winners including Poseidon Adventure. Appreciated quick ground when getting up late to land an ordinary race at Newmarket for John Gosden. Work to do off this mark, but open to improvement.

Form: 761-

Railport Dolly^h¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 75| D

11/8

Travelled nicely when opening her account on first attempt at this trip. A 7lb rise seems reasonable enough given here current rate of progress.

Form: 766-441

(5)

Double Reflection²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: M Stainton| T: K R Burke| OR: 73

9/4

Full marks for consistency, but she is getting no help from the handicapper as a result and she looks vulnerable to an improving sort here.

Form: 6-72223

(1)

Astolat³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Liam Keniry| T: E Walker| OR: 73

8/1

Standout effort came at Chelmsford on third start. Other than that it's been far from reliable stuff, however this trip seems more in tune with her pedigree.

Form: 75-206

Forecasts

Railport Dolly (11/8), Double Reflection (9/4), Timpani (9/2), Astolat (8/1), Lightening Dance (8/1)

A case can be made for most but RAILPORT DOLLY is race fit, in form and potentially on the right side of the handicapper having scored with plenty in hand at Redcar. Timpani is bred for middle-distances and has the scope to develop into a good three-year-old, although she looks fully weighted for winning an ordinary race at Newmarket. Lightening Dance needs to rebound from a couple of tame efforts, but would take some beating on her early form.
