Dal Horrisgle³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: W J Haggas| OR: 90

1/1

Nathaniel colt; half-brother to the useful stayer Dal Harraild; has won two of his three starts to date, including when making all (form rock-solid) on seasonal reappearance at Nottingham (1m+, good); rates as an exciting prospect; handicap debut.

Form: 51-1

Mubariz^p1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Watson| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 89

9/2

Winner of the Golden Horn maiden stakes at Nottingham (1m+, good) last October; never travelled with any fluency on seasonal reappearance/handicap debut at Sandown (1m1f, good to soft) just under three weeks ago; cheekpieces are now applied.

Form: 661-3

Albert Finney³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 84| D

6/1

Has ample racing experience and is a dual AW scorer (1m-1m2f); was beaten 6¾L (third) by Fox Premier at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) in May; appears vulnerable to some less exposed rivals.

Form: 133123

(2)

Southern Rock¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 83

11/4

Former French racer (Andre Fabre); has won both starts for David O'Meara over an extended mile around the buttonhook at Hamilton Park; 5lb higher, but with scope for further improvement over this trip (dam was a half-sister to a St. Leger winner).

Form: 35-11

(5)

Lola's Theme^p1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 76| C

25/1

Both of her wins have come over 1m, including when springing an almighty surprise (100-1) at this track last September; eases in the weights after finishing last of seven at Chester (1m4f, soft) latest; cheekpieces are applied; a likely outsider.

Form: 218-547

Forecasts

Dal Horrisgle (1/1), Southern Rock (11/4), Mubariz (9/2), Albert Finney (6/1), Lola's Theme (25/1)

Dal Horrisgle boasts the 'sexiest' overall profile and it's perfectly feasible that he can shoot straight through handicap company before tackling loftier engagements. Furthermore, his recent all the way Nottingham comeback win has plenty of substance with both the runner-up Loolwah (Thirsk) and the third Saffran (Chepstow) winning since. However, with a strong stamina influence in his pedigree we'll take a slight chance on the upped in trip SOUTHERN ROCK. He has already proved himself to be a very shrewd acquisition by David O'Meara, winning with plenty in hand on both GB starts at Hamilton Park (1m+).
