(10)

Gunnison¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Sean Davis⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 55

20/1

(1)

Firsteen¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: P Hanagan| T: A C Whillans| OR: 54

7/1

Ten-race maiden; has shown ability over both 6f and 7f, and her trainer has featured among the winners lately; same mark as when beaten 1½L by Tai Sing Yeh at Ayr (6f, good to firm) in May; interesting at a price.

(4)

Muhallab¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: A Mullen| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 49

22/1

Eight-race maiden; falling down the handicap quickly; should appreciate clashing with horses of his own age after finishing seventh of 16 (40-1) to Ginger Jam at Beverley (5f) 16 days ago; stamina an obvious concern.

Form: 405657

(11)

Furyan^v⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: J P Sullivan| T: N Tinkler| OR: 49

20/1

Forecasts

Kolossus (7/2), Mac Ailey (5/1), Fume (5/1), Firsteen (7/1), Kind Review (8/1), Gylo (12/1), Ghathanfar (12/1), Charlie's Boy (14/1), Furyan (20/1), Gunnison (20/1), Muhallab (22/1), Rangefield Express (25/1)

An open race for horses of limited ability. The topweight Fume must enter the reckoning on the strength of some of his better efforts, including when a close third to Ascot Week (beaten since) at Ripon, while Gunnison isn't necessarily progressive either but did finish second on his first attempt at this trip at Ayr. Meanwhile, Ghathanfar is probably the pick of the Tracy Waggott-trained duo. However, with the Alistair Whillans string showing increasing signs of life in recent days, some outside of the box thinking sees the pin fall upon the filly FIRSTEEN who ought to be capable of picking up a race of this nature from a very low handicap mark.
