Starboy^p³^{(ex 12)}

Age: 3| Weight: 10-2| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽⁷⁾| T: George Scott| OR: 69| D

5/4

Has come into his own during this dry spell. Heavily eased when defying a 6lb penalty on Tuesday and if conditions remain quick then the hat-trick looks on.

Rastacap⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Andrew Breslin⁽⁷⁾| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 70

3/1

Current mark and a return to 7f revealed obvious benefits on Saturday. Rider good value for his claim and yard's sole runner on the card.

Form: 647642

Glamorous Dream¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: N Mackay| T: R Harris| OR: 68| D

7/1

Off the mark at Salisbury and lacked the pace to defy a harsh 8lb rise back over 6f next time. Should be more effective here but faces a couple of better treated rivals in Starboy and Rastacap.

Form: 60-8715

Wicked Sea¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Seamus Cronin⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 68

11/4

Ran Glamorous Dream to a head before romping home in a poor race at Salisbury. Limitations exposed last time and work to do.

Form: 787217

Zouch³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Fahy| T: J S Moore| OR: 67

16/1

Good effort when fourth on second start last year but held in two subsequent outings including on seasonal debut. Unlucky to be meeting a couple of in-form well-handicapped rivals on handicap debut.

Form: 549-5

Forecasts

Starboy (5/4), Wicked Sea (11/4), Rastacap (3/1), Glamorous Dream (7/1), Zouch (16/1)

Rastacap has probably found her level judged on last week's Thirsk second and connections are hoping to strike ahead of a likely reaction from the handicapper. As such it is unfortunate she bumps into the progressive STARBOY who is out to complete a ten day hat-trick. George Scott's charge is effectively just 6lb higher than when coasting home on Tuesday and is hard to oppose whilst conditions remain fast.
