Brickadank²⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: P Mulrennan| T: Micky HammondWS

100/1

Making GB/IRE Flat debut. Fourth of 7 in bumper at Newcastle (14.3f, heavy, 16/1) on NH debut. Off 8 months. Unlikely to figure.

Abbotside²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K Stott| T: J D Bethell| OR: 78

11/8

Fairly useful gelding. 8/1, good second of 15 in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, good) 20 days ago. Vulnerable to a less exposed rival but sets a decent standard. Should be able to get involved.

Form: 663-322

(6)

Somthingphenomenal

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: A Elliott| T: C N Kellett

150/1

Phenomena gelding. Half-brother to 5f-7f winner Someone Exciting. Dam ran once. Best watched on debut.

Spirit Dancer¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 76

3/1

Twice-raced colt. 7/2, second of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 19 days ago. Every chance he improves for that outing after ten months off and one to consider.

Form: 3-2

(4)

Thunder Gap⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J P Sullivan| T: T P Tate

22/1

Once-raced gelding. 33/1, last of 8 in minor event at York (7.9f, good) on debut 44 days ago, slowly away. Up in trip. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 8

(2)

Kaleidoscopic¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P J McDonald| T: M R Channon| OR: 74

9/4

Promising sort. Fourth of 10 in minor event at Newbury (10f, good to soft, 66/1) 15 days ago. That run was full of promise and she should have no issue with the ground. The one to beat.

Form: 64

(1)

Poetica³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston

12/1

Twice-raced filly. Third of 8 in maiden (22/1) at Ayr (10f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Should have more to offer but others make more appeal here.

Form: 93

Forecasts

Abbotside (11/8), Kaleidoscopic (9/4), Spirit Dancer (3/1), Poetica (12/1), Thunder Gap (22/1), Brickadank (100/1), Somthingphenomenal (150/1)

KALEIDOSCOPIC improved significantly on her second outing at Newbury a fortnight ago, shaping as if she will be a useful filly. Connections have found a good opportunity for her and she has leading claims on ground she should handle. Abbotside sets a decent standard for a race of this nature but is vulnerable to his less exposed rival. Spirit Dancer can't be ruled out either.
