Thrice-raced maiden. 13/2, sixth of 15 in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, good) 10 days ago. Bit too keen that day and may come on for that first run since a gelding operation.

Forecasts

Tafish (9/4), Jalwan (9/2), Earth And Sky (11/2), Turkestan (8/1), Dark Scimitar (8/1), Striding Edge (14/1), Daafr (16/1), Breguet Boy (16/1), Apex King (20/1), Algaffaal (25/1), Tough Remedy (25/1), Shoot To Win (40/1)

Verdict

TURKESTAN shaped better than the result suggested at Haydock on his first run since a gelding operation and he can gain a first career success here. Apex King may appreciate the return to an artificial surface and should be involved in the finish. Earth And Sky has been running creditably in some competitive races and can't be discounted.

  1. TURKESTAN
  2. APEX KING (IRE)
  3. EARTH AND SKY (USA)
