Monsaraz^t⁸⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: P Cosgrave| T: D Loughnane| OR: 72| DWS

13/2

Much improved for this yard on AW at the beginning of the year, winning 3 times from only 4 outings. Subsequently had wind surgery and taken to continue his progression back on turf.

Form: 89-1411

(4)

By Starlight⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: H Candy| OR: 70

5/2

Low-mileage filly who has shown fair form. Moved well for a long way in a competitive race on Newbury reappearance and may do better with that outing behind her. Respected.

Form: 437-0

(2)

Montaqem¹⁰⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 67WS

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 12 on handicap debut at Kempton (11f, 150/1) in February. A subsequent wind op needs to have had a positive effect.

Form: 5-570

Forecasts

By Starlight (5/2), Zuba (3/1), Ravens Ark (10/3), Monsaraz (13/2), Global Art (11/1), Broad Appeal (12/1), Dono Di Dio (18/1), Montaqem (33/1), Flying Dragon (80/1)

MONSARAZ was a turf winner for his previous stable so there's no reason why he won't be able to translate his AW improvement for David Loughnane back to the grass. The unexposed By Starlight was better than the result in a warm race at Newbury on her reappearance and she's put up as the main threat ahead of Zuba, who has scored over hurdles since his course second in April.
