The Vegas Raider^v⁸^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M L W Bell| OR: 57| D

4/6

Promising sort. 15/2 and visored for 1st time, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, good to firm) 8 days ago, keeping on well. Looks difficult to oppose under a penalty.

Form: 07-71

9/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1, good fifth of 14 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to firm) 28 days ago, needing stiffer test. Could improve up in trip and has to be considered.

10/3

5/2, respectable third of 10 in minor event at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) 13 days ago, slowly away. Looks to have solid claims once again.

Forecasts

The Vegas Raider (4/6), Ventura Kingdom (10/3), Can Can Girl (9/2), Make A Spark (18/1), Out Of Sight (33/1), Belvedere Blast (33/1), Red Headed Tiger (33/1), Mawgan Porth (40/1)

THE VEGAS RAIDER took a huge step forward when winning comfortably on handicap debut at Salisbury last weekend. His 6 lb penalty leaves him well-in today and he's very difficult to oppose given there could be more to come. Ventura Kingdom looks the most likely to follow him home after a solid effort at Yarmouth. Can Can Girl could improve for the step up in trip too.
