Muneyra¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: James Doyle| T: W J Haggas| D

8/11

A well-bred filly (full-sister to Hong Kong three-time Group 1 winner Lucky Nine). Improved on second starts to win comfortably at Wolverhampton. More on plate under a penalty here but should be capable of plenty more.

Form: 21

Creek Harbour¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Fran Berry| T: E A L Dunlop

22/1

Kodiac gelding, cost €25,000 as a foal and 200,000 gns as a yearling. Showed some ability on debut here over 1m but took a step backwards at Pontefract next time. Needs to get back to debut effort.

Form: 48

Preacher Man²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: J A Osborne| OR: 75| BF

12/1

Ran good races at both Ascot and Ffos Las so far but very disappointing when sent off short price favourite at Catterick last time. Questions to answer after that.

Form: 425-24

(2)

Shaji⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: George Wood| T: D G Bridgwater

100/1

Cost 75,000gns as a yearling but sold for just £8,000 at the recent Doncaster sales. Needs to improve significantly on the form he showed for Brian Meehan and is best watched on his debut for his new yard.

Form: 78

Thaayer¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows

3/1

Gelded son of Helmet out of a Barathea mare. Price rose from 17,000 gns as a foal to £60,000 as a yearling. Showed promise on debut and should do better.

Form: 3

Asharedmoment¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Rob Hornby| T: J & S Best

150/1

Tailed off on both starts so far and would need a huge amount of improvement to be a factor here. Best watched.

Form: 60

(5)

Heavenly Holly

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Josephine Gordon| T: H Palmer

7/1

Shamardal filly from a dam that was a winner over 7f in France. Yard know how to ready one first time and market check very much needed.

Form:

(7)

Mathematical

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J Tate

9/1

Acclamation filly that cost 65,000 gns as a yearling. Half-sister to seven winners and dam was a winner up to 1m. Likely type on paper and market check essential.

Form:

Sweet Nature¹³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Gianluca Sanna⁽⁷⁾| T: W J Haggas

66/1

Canford Cliffs filly. Half-sister to two-year-old 6f winner Shaka Zulu and two-year-old 7f/1m winner Under Control. Slowly away and never on terms on debut at Lingfield (7f, good to firm). Should do better.

Forecasts

Muneyra (8/11), Thaayer (3/1), Heavenly Holly (7/1), Mathematical (9/1), Preacher Man (12/1), Creek Harbour (22/1), Poeta Brasileiro (33/1), Sweet Nature (66/1), Shaji (100/1), Asharedmoment (150/1)

Mathematical is an interesting newcomer and a market check is very much needed. Thaayer should improve now with a run under his belt. This looks a good opportunity for MUNEYRA who was a decisive winner at Wolverhampton last time and there should be more to come.
