Limelighter

Good effort in finishing a close third over 6f at Yarmouth (good-to-firm) in July. Cheekpieces worn when disappointing on the AW last time out are dispensed with for this step up in distance.

Estrela Star¹⁷

13/2

Narrowly beaten in a 7f novice event at Yarmouth (good) at the end of July. Failed to repeat that form in two subsequent outings but a repeat of that effort would see her hard to beat.

Red Armour³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Jason Watson⁽³⁾| T: J Ryan

13/8

Form: 62

Forecasts

Red Armour (13/8), Comeonfeeltheforce (6/1), Picture Poet (6/1), Elysian Lady (13/2), Limelighter (7/1), Renardeau (10/1), Miss Gargar (20/1), Maared (25/1), Estrela Star (40/1)

RED ARMOUR looks capable of breaking her maiden at the third time of asking in this 7f two-year-old event. The selection ran well to place last time out and can get the better of Comeonfeeltheforce who's stable have won two of the last three runners of this event. Elysian Lady can return to form by taking third.
