5/1

Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap (9/1) at Kempton (7f) 16 days ago, inadequate test. Hood back on. Should be suited by the step up in trip.

(7)

Blue Beret¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Shepherd| T: S Dow| OR: 58

11/1

1/1

Promising type. 10/3, excellent fourth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 33 days ago, not ideally placed. More to come, particularly at this trip, so looks a big player.

17/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1, second of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 26 days ago, faring best of those held up. Form is proving strong, so boasts excellent claims of going one better.

Forecasts

Sergeant Major (1/1), Doonbeg Farmer (5/1), Beija Flor (8/1), Artisan Bleu (17/2), Got No Dollars (11/1), Blue Beret (11/1), Katie's Kitten (18/1), Lochanthem (20/1), Dream Date Diva (33/1), Blue Galaxy (50/1), Saray Prince (100/1)

ARTISAN BLEU found only a subsequent winner too good having come from an unpromising position at Lingfield last time and with more to come, is marginally preferred to Sergeant Major, who also made a pleasing handicap debut recently. Doonbeg Farmer looks the pick of the remainder.
