Landed Redcar 7f novice stakes on just second run for Roger Varian last term but purchased for 27,000gns in November after finishing third on final start at Thirsk. Should be better for first start back and drops 2lb.

7/4
Been busy over the winter and spring but continues to put in good performances. Proving consistent and drop in grade should see him go close again.

C&D winner on final start for Kevin Ryan last year but well below that on season and stable debut. Needs to bounce back.

Goes particularly well at this track and suited by this drop in distance following a solid reappearance. On a competitive mark and should go well.

9/1
Last win came back in October 2017 despite falling to a very low mark. Gets a welcome drop in class but ended last season and started this campaign out of form.

Poor effort on reappearance although may have needed the run. On a handy mark but proving hard to win with and rain would be a plus.

Only 1lb higher than last winning mark and should be better for two solid runs back. May need faster ground though could make a bold bid from the front.

Finished last season with a poor effort and has continued that trend in two runs this campaign. Remains best watched.

Forecasts

Kupa River (7/4), Star Shield (7/2), Jacob Black (4/1), Our Charlie Brown (9/1), Smugglers Creek (10/1), Inviolable Spirit (10/1), Roaring Forties (16/1), How Bizarre (20/1)

Verdict

Kupa River is in good heart and proving reliable while Jacob Black likes this C&D and is well handicapped. STAR SHIELD ran well enough on handicap debut but looked in need of the run and should have more to offer this season.
  1. Star Shield
  2. Kupa River
  3. Jacob Black
