Guvenor's Choice^t¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: Mrs Marjorie Fife| OR: 72

5/1

One standout effort for this yard when fourth at Haydock earlier in the year; yet to really halt a downward spiral. Poor last time out when last in a Musselburgh handicap (amateur ridden); may appreciate this ease in grade, leading AW rider booked.

My Amigo^p⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Jane Elliott| T: Mrs Marjorie Fife| OR: 64| BF

1/1

One of two runners from this yard like his stablemate he's also on a long losing run although he has shown more promise of late. Threw away a good winning chance in a 1m handicap here last time; leading claims down in class if quirks don't take over.

Duke of Yorkie^v1³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J Quinn| T: A West| OR: 43

25/1

A career record that reads 0-14 fails to inspire any confidence in his chance with his recent form looking as though he happy to go through the motions. Visor now applied in the hope it will inspire some spark to ignite.

Ethics Boy

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J F Egan| T: John Berry

12/1

Starts his career belatedly and at a very low level but such is the nature of this race it's hard to write him off. Dam trained by same trainer was a dual Polytrack winner at up to 2m; market support would be interesting.

Max Guevara^b²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Angus Villiers⁽⁷⁾| T: W R Muir| OR: 52

8/1

Like a fair few in this contest he's got a long losing run to cope with but at least he ran with credit last time with the first-time blinkers having a positive effect. The downside was didn't find much in the finish (not for the first time).

Cash N Carrie²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Theodore Ladd⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 44

5/1

Maiden status remains intact after 13 starts although she did run a relatively respectable race last time in a handicap over C&D. Faces a stiff task at the weights though and hard to think she's got more than a place chance at best.

Feleena's Spell⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: A McCarthy| T: P Charalambous

66/1

Offered little on her debut over 7f here late last month, outpaced over 2f out and dropping away easily. Up in trip and down in grade but still makes no more than very limited appeal.

Form: 6

Tiffindell

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Darragh Keenan⁽³⁾| T: R Eddery

8/1

Newcomer who was a cheap purchase (4,000 guineas) earlier in the year (ex-Goldolphin); half-sister to several winners. Now makes her debut in a seller from a yard who have had a couple of winners this week; positive market vibes would be interesting.

Forecasts

My Amigo (1/1), Cash N Carrie (5/1), Guvenor's Choice (5/1), Tiffindell (8/1), Max Guevara (8/1), Ethics Boy (12/1), Duke of Yorkie (25/1), Chutzpah (25/1), Feleena's Spell (66/1)

On paper this doesn’t look a particularly appealing contest but it could well be worth keeping a close eye on the market here with two interesting newcomers in the shape of Ethics Boy and Tiffindell with the latter having a particularly eye-catching pedigree for this grade. Marjorie Fife saddles two leading contenders and although Guvenor’s Choice looks the pick of the weights but MY AMIGO may just be the more reliable if his quirks can be kept under wraps. Max Guevara is more than capable at this level but he’s proficient at throwing races away in the closing stages and should be handled with care.
