5/1

Promising debut Leicester novice winner but (evens) raced much too freely when last of 8 in Acomb Stakes at York (7f, good) 17 days ago. Hood on and back in trip now so well worth another chance.

(7)

Hala Hala Hala¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: J P Spencer| T: K A Ryan| OR: 100| D

16/1

Useful form when second in 6f Ascot Group 3 but had wind op/tongue tied before only twelfth of 14 in Lowther Stakes (9/1) at York (6f) 16 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and needs to bounce back.

Form: 1520

Forecasts

Mystery Smiles (7/2), Zamaani (4/1), Cloudbridge (5/1), Mighty Gurkha (11/2), Twaasol (8/1), Nomadic Empire (14/1), Rebel At Dawn (14/1), Hala Hala Hala (16/1), Lauded (16/1), Gussy Mac (22/1)

Question marks over a number of these so at the likely odds it could be worth siding with NOMADIC EMPIRE who is on an upward curve and gets his first chance at 6f having posted a fine third in a 5f York listed event last time. Gimcrack-third Mystery Smiles rates a big threat but looked ready for a step up in trip there, while Mighty Gurkha and Cloudbridge are two who could easily bounce back.
