Off time: 18:23 | Winning time: 1m 12.69s

(1)

Its Toytown

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D C Costello| T: R M Smith

20/1

First foal; related to plenty of winning sprinter types; stable not known for winning with inexperienced types. Market should provide clues as to what connections expect.

Form:

(7)

Swinging Eddie¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 66

7/2

Strong finishing second over 6f at Doncaster on reappearance on soft ground in June. Has failed to follow up in two subsequent runs for no obvious reason. Chance on best of form but needs to put poor runs behind him.

Form: 446-298

(3)

Bedtime Bella^v¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Sean Davis⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 64

5/4

Not inconvenienced when stepping up to 7f last time out at Catterick. Had previously shown good form over this trip and handles some cut in the ground. One for the shortlist.

Form: 735232

(6)

Blank Canvas⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Shane Gray| T: K Dalgleish

10/3

Hard to assess dropping back in trip and racing on an unknown surface. Latest effort was an improvement on debut effort and this drop back in trip likely to suit.

Form: 83

(5)

Look Who It Isnae

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Harrison Shaw⁽⁵⁾| T: A Berry

66/1

Not fahionably bred but is related to some middle distance winners; hard to see her being good enough or speedy enough on debut but the betting ring will offer clues.

Form:

(4)

Lyons Lane¹¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: G Lee| T: M Dods

6/1

Not disgraced on her sole racecourse appearance at Pontefract (6f good-firm) and is entitled to improve but will need to to get competitive. Stable does well with fillies but long absence a concern.

Form: 9

Non-Runners

(2)

Blistering Barney¹⁶

Weight: 9-5| Age: 3

T: C N Kellett J: M Stainton

Forecasts

Bedtime Bella (5/4), Blank Canvas (10/3), Swinging Eddie (7/2), Lyons Lane (6/1), Blistering Barney (14/1), Its Toytown (20/1), Look Who It Isnae (66/1)

BEDROOM BELLA is a consistent type and this looks an ideal opportunity for the filly to break her maiden tag dropping back in trip after running well for a long way last time out over 7f. She handles some cut in the ground which is another plus. If Swinging Eddie can recapture the form he showed at Doncaster three starts ago then he will rate the biggest danger to the selection. He needs to put two poor runs behind him but the expected softish ground will be in his favour. Blank Canvas may be slowly coming to hand and while the ground is an unknown his trainer has an excellent record at this track.
