Young John³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Luke Catton⁽⁷⁾| T: M Murphy| OR: 75| D

8/11

Aiming for a third win in 12 days. The way he streaked clear on Wednesday suggested it will take more than a 2lb higher mark to stop him.

Form: 062411

Showmethedough¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 72

8/1

Back to form when dropped into a claimer last time and he promises to do better back at 7f. Looks a big danger on that effort under an effective claimer.

Form: 460583

Crystal Casque³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J F Egan| T: B R Millman| OR: 69| D

5/1

Has won one her last six and placed in the other five (beaten no more than 1½L). Up another 2lb for her latest run but should give another honest display.

Form: 331323

Sultan Baybars^v³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 67| D

12/1

Sole career win came at Kempton on debut for Roger Varian. Down to another career low and with good cause.

Form: 733900

Global Melody^v1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 67

25/1

Makes stable debut having shown some ability for Ed Dunlop. Marginally better here last time, but visor and change of scenery needs to yield further improvement.

Form: 35306

(9)

Queens Royale^b1⁷¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: R Winston| T: M Appleby| OR: 66| D

16/1

0-10 on turf but 4-11 on AW tracks. Goes well for this rider and below last winning mark, but disappointed on sole previous start here.

Form: 695284

Sayesse^h¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: L Williamson| OR: 65| D

20/1

Won five times for Mick Channon and first effort for current trainer over C&D was respectable. Less effective last time in better company and this a track not suited to his usual tactics.

Form: 500456

(5)

Philamundo³⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: T P Queally| T: R Spencer| OR: 65

16/1

Didn't come cheap at £80,000 and best effort as a juvenile came on nursery debut. Needs to learn to settle and this run may be needed.

Form: 98874-

Blessed To Empress⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 61| C

5/1

Keen going sort with a handy draw. Scored at Brigton off 2lb lower but probably more effective over shorter.

Form: 591483

Forecasts

Young John (8/11), Blessed To Empress (5/1), Crystal Casque (5/1), Showmethedough (8/1), Sultan Baybars (12/1), Philamundo (16/1), Queens Royale (16/1), Sayesse (20/1), Global Melody (25/1)

YOUNG JOHN has been clocking some good speed figures on his way to comfortable victories on his last two starts. Had plenty in hand when scoring on Wednesday and this race is his to lose. Showmethedough has place prospects judged on his return to form last time and he is more effective at this trip, whilst the consistent Crystal Casque can never be ruled out.
