Promotion^p²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 56

10/3

Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, suited by the step up in trip when third of 12 in handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago, every chance well inside final 1f. Has to be taken seriously.

Delahoussaye^t¹⁷

Form: 8500-76

The Residencies¹⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: R Coakley| T: B R Millman| OR: 55

11/4

Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, improved when sixth of 13 on handicap debut at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 16 days ago, nearest finish. Up in trip. Not taken lightly if she's able to build on that effort.

11/1

Last of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Salisbury (9.9f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago, keeping on when short of room last ½f. A first-time visor could spark the necessary improvement required for him to be involved.

Forecasts

Mrembo (11/4), Promotion (10/3), Delahoussaye (10/3), The Residencies (11/2), By Pass (10/1), Lark Lane (11/1), Rockade (25/1), Falmouth Ballerina (33/1)

Recent solid form is thin on the ground in this handicap so the percentage call is PROMOTION after having produced a career-best effort when third at Salisbury 3 weeks ago. Provided the cheekpieces have the same effect today, he gets the verdict to open his account. Mrembo was doing her best work late when sixth at Windsor recently so she's feared most upped further in trip, ahead of Delahoussaye.
