Commanche Falls^p²⁰³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Phil Dennis| T: M Dods| OR: 103| D

9/4

Four wins in very productive 2021, including Stewards' Cup at Goodwood. Has been successful first time up in all 3 previous campaigns so there's every reson to think he'll be primed for a bold bid.

Royal Pleasure^h⁸⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 95| D

2/1

Useful performer who made a winning return from wind surgery at Chelmsford (6f) in February, seeming well suited by the drop in trip. Put up 6 lb for that but he's very much unexposed as a sprinter. Acts on turf.

Form: 23454-1

2/1

C&D winner. Sharper for reappearance when fifth of 8 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good) last weekend. Runs off 2 lb lower now. One to consider.

Form: 4485-75

9/1

Below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good, 8/1) 12 days ago, merely closing up late. Cheekpieces back on. Now below last winning mark but need to see more.

Forecasts

Royal Pleasure (2/1), Intrinsic Bond (2/1), Commanche Falls (9/4), Rathbone (9/1), Giogiobbo (14/1), Abolish (16/1)

COMMANCHE FALLS has an excellent record when fresh and is selected to make his class tell under top weight. Royal Pleasure was having his first outing over a sprint trip when scoring on his Chelmsford return and looks the chief threat ahead of Intrinsic Bond.
