Tres Speciale²⁴

15/8

Promising sort. Disappointed bearing in mind debut promise when second of 4 in minor event (1/2) at Carlisle (9f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Remains with potential so worth another chance.

Forecasts

Sayf Al Dawla (13/8), Tres Speciale (15/8), Eikonix (4/1), Virgo (11/2), Badrah (16/1), Its Ur Roundmylord (50/1), Rockinovertheworld (100/1), Solent Scene (150/1)

Only a few of these make any serious appeal, with TRES SPECIALE getting the vote to score at the third time of asking. Ralph Beckett's charge disappointed when finishing runner-up at Carlisle last month but she should learn from the experience and remains with potential. Sayf Al Dawla looks the main danger given his debut promise on the turf, with Eikonix completing the shortlist.
