Won a bumper at Ayr in April and was again successful in that sphere at Huntingdon last month; since run on the Flat and made a good impression at Goodwood last month. Capable of paying his way again but vulnerable to anything with a turn of foot.
Landed a bumper on debut at Stratford last March but pulled up in his only other National Hunt start. Plenty to prove after a modest debut under this code at Windsor last month.
Another with form under both codes but made little impact since finishing second over hurdles at Musselburgh last March; and was never a factor when tried on the level for the first time in a similar race at Wetherby in May.
Previous form in two bumpers and two flat races is poor; big improvement needed.
Poor effort on debut (started at odds of 250/1) and hard to recommend as one to follow on that evidence.
Beat just one horse to the finish line on debut over 1m2f at Sandown last month; was slow to start and never got competitive, so is another who makes very limited appeal.
Yard takes a patient approach with fillies of this type but no surprise to see her post an improved effort from her debut run (on the AW at Chelmsford) last month. Needed the run that day; the betting can guide as to how much she's benefited.
Dubawi filly who cost 1,100,000 gns; was eased when her chance had gone on debut but still finished third in more interesting company at Goodwood last month. Big chance of boosting her paddocks value with a win; as modest as the form would be worth.
Forecasts
Promissory (1/3), December Second (9/4), Albanderi (13/2), Hazm (16/1), The Cruix (25/1), Champ Ayr (25/1), Jesse Jude (33/1), I Think So (66/1)
The course record is likely to still be intact after this lot have ploughed their way around but it does present PROMISSORY with an excellent opportunity to gain a win to boost her profile. The daughter of Dubawi (out of an Authorized mare) is impeccably bred and looks the safest bet in an uninspiring contest. (Worth noting that Frankie Dettori sticks around for the second of his two rides of the day at Doncaster.) Albanderi, as the most obvious flat-bred contender, makes the most appeal from the rest; followed by December Sound and Jesse Jude in that order.
- Promissory
- Albanderi
