Luminous Light⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 86

4/1

Lightly-raced winner who returned with good third at Chepstow (10f) in April, worn down only late on. Possibly not 100% on the day given the way he dropped away on handicap debut at Newbury since and bounce back distinctly possible down in class.

Form: 15-30

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Cieren Fallon| T: H Palmer| OR: 81| D

6/4

Bettered juvenile form when shedding maiden tag in 4-runner Salisbury handicap (9.9f) early on last month. Similar form when fifth in a stronger contest at Epsom (10f) since and no surprise to see him go well again.

Form: 7332-15

Killearn⁸⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: S De Sousa| T: C Hills| OR: 75

4/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in March, driven under 2f out and weakening. Has been gelded subsequently so interesting if market vibes are positive returning from a break.

Form: 652-47

Brazilian Beach¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: T Hamilton| T: T D Easterby| OR: 74| D

13/2

Was beginning to look exposed but well served by switch to handicaps/step up in trip when coming clear with another improver to share the spoils at Haydock (10f) 2 weeks ago. 5 lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold showing.

Form: 303-241

(3)

Griffin Park²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 73

5/1

Improved when off the mark in 11-runner maiden at Southwell (7.1f, 3/1) in February. Gelded, looked a little rusty when making late headway and seventh at Sandown (1m) 4 weeks ago but he may well be sharper here. Up in trip.

Form: 602-17

Forecasts

Box To Box (6/4), Killearn (4/1), Luminous Light (4/1), Griffin Park (5/1), La Pulga (5/1), Brazilian Beach (13/2)

BRAZILIAN BEACH took a step forward for the longer trip/switch to handicaps when sharing the spoils with another improver at Haydock 2 weeks ago (pair nicely clear) and she could be worth siding with to follow up from a 5 lb higher mark. Box To Box can also feature, whilst Killearn is worth monitoring in the betting having been gelded since last seen.
