Camakasi²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: Thomas Greatrex| T: A Stronge| OR: 71

7/2

Runs to a consistent level but worrying he cannot get his head in front. His sole victory came on slower ground so the forecast rain would help.

Earthly^p¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Jacob Mitchell⁽⁵⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 65| D

13/2

Winner of two AW races for Ralph Beckett. Performances for this yard have improved since being gelded but looks held by Pour L'amour on latest run.

Form: 66-5033

(3)

Kath's Legacy^p1²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: George Rooke⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 64| BF

2/1

Record of 1-23 and has made the frame a further eight times. Looks a difficult ride and cheekpieces are worth a try, but she has failed to stay this far in the past.

Form: 85-9023

(6)

Demophon¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Poppy Bridgwater| T: S Flook| OR: 58

5/1

Half-brother to Dartmouth saw a drop to a mile and first-time blinkers fail to work last time but he takes a fall in the weights. Looks to have a small race in him and rider 7-29 in apprentice races this year.

Form: 83750

Pour L'Amour¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Jessica Cooley⁽³⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 57| BF| D

11/2

Closely matched with Earthly on latest form but proving one paced and her overall 1-26 record is uninspiring. Also entered Epsom 8:45 Thursday.

Form: 828432

Petrify^p,t⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 8-10| J: Aled Beech| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 49| CD

7/1

Took this in 2016 and returned to form with a hurdles victory last week. Very much in the mix here.

Form: 64360-9

(2)

Berkeley Vale²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: Sophie Ralston⁽³⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 48

16/1

Form has become regressive and hard to make a case for following three well beaten runs this year. Headgear removed and tries a new trip.

Form: 040-590

Forecasts

Kath's Legacy (2/1), Camakasi (7/2), Demophon (5/1), Pour L'Amour (11/2), Earthly (13/2), Petrify (7/1), Berkeley Vale (16/1)

PETRIFY landed this two years ago, has an experienced rider on board and showed he was in good shape when scoring over hurdles last week. Hard to knock those credentials in a weak race and he looks the most logical pick. Stable companion Earthly and Pour L'amour are closely matched on Brighton form but Demophon may be a greater threat off this new mark under the impressive Poppy Bridgwater. Any rain would enhance the chances of Camakasi, whilst Kath's Legacy is a frustrating type who could respond to cheekpieces but carries stamina doubts..
