13/2

Modest maiden who took a step back in the right direction under owner/rider at Kempton (12f) last time. Yet to prove effectiveness on turf.

(7)

Haraz²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Miss Megan Trainor⁽⁵⁾| T: P Butler| OR: 45

Forecasts

Luna Magic (2/1), Roller (11/2), Beau Geste (6/1), Thermal (13/2), Janus (7/1), Catch My Breath (10/1), Voltaic (11/1), Rafiot (12/1), In The Red (12/1), Haraz (66/1)

BEAU GESTE emerged as another improver for Tony Carroll earlier in the year, winning twice at Wolverhampton, and he has a big shout if proving as effective on turf now. The returning Luna Magic and Catch My Breath are a couple of the other likely contenders.
