Second start and better effort this month at Pontefract (6f, good to soft; 25/1) when possibly shaping as though he'll be sharper for the run after four months off.

Pinarella³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: A Mullen| T: B Haslam| OR: 61

4/1

Filly with experience after eight runs, though not exactly looking progressive to this point. Returns from a break and needs to have found a bit extra.

Lightly-raced filly, went close on handicap debut at Lingfield (6f, AW; 8-1) in March, though raised 4lb for that and held there since off this mark. Needs to break better.

Lucky Number

Weight: 9-1| Age: 3

T: W J Haggas J: D Tudhope

Forecasts

Lucky Number (7/4), In Trutina (3/1), Obee Jo (7/2), Pinarella (4/1), Sussudio (5/1), Followme Followyou (8/1), Reasoned (12/1), Sharp Breath (18/1), Mea Culpa (28/1), Manzoni (33/1), Dream House (50/1), Torque Of The Town (66/1)

Lucky Number is an interesting newcomer for William Haggas, who is always to be noted with such a contender at this track but, given this a weak-looking race, it might be worth siding instead with IN TRUTINA. She's related to a couple of winner and, while not costing as much as some of these, she does represent the red-hot stable of Archie Watson. Obee Jo and Followme Followyou are other worth paying some attention.
