Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Andrew Breslin⁽³⁾| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 74| D

33/1

Form tailed off towards end of last season and showed little promise on return when last of 8 in handicap at Haydock (8f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Well treated on best form but hard to have confidence in.

Form: 30867-8

State Secretary^h1,t²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Benoit D L Sayette⁽⁵⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 74

11/1

Good effort over C&D on penultimate outing but failed to build on that when last of 8 in similar race (9/1, good to soft) 22 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Claims if top claimer helps him regain peak form.

Form: 15-5448

Yester^b,t³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽³⁾| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 74| BF

10/1

Best effort this year when third in Leopardstown maiden in May. Twelfth of 14 in claimer at Tipperary (7.5f, good to firm, 3/1) 30 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Adrian Murray. Tongue strap back on. Every chance if back to best.

Form: 38-6380

Cuban Beat^h1³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Cieren Fallon| T: J Ferguson| OR: 77| BF

6/1

Thrice-raced winner. 11/8, first run since leaving Hugo Palmer when second of 5 in minor event at Thirsk (8f, good) 30 days ago, though didn't convince with his finishing effort. Hood on 1st time. Unexposed handicap debutant.

Form: 31-2

Social Contact⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Hayley Turner| T: A W Carroll| OR: 74

28/1

Won Southwell minor event on final start for Roger Varian but failed to beat a rival in pair of handicap starts for Chelsea Banham and is best watched having made another swift move to new yard.

Form: 42-179

Islay Of Anglesey²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Ray Dawson| T: R Varian| OR: 72

15/8

No better than mid-field in a trio of maidens but shaped well when seventh at Chelmsford (7f) last time, finishing with running left after rider dropped whip. Promises to improve for this trip and looks strong contender on handicap debut.

Form: 357

(5)

Rogue Star²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: Tom Clover| OR: 71| BF

5/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Again shaped well when fourth of 11 in handicap (7/2) at Sandown (7f, good) 20 days ago, nearest finish having been unsuited by way race developed. Remains one to be interested in.

Form: 3-6444

(6)

Bunker Bay²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: N Callan| T: W J Knight| OR: 64

15/2

Thrice-raced maiden. 11/1, pulled very hard when ninth of 11 in minor event at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Must improve on handicap debut.

Forecasts

Islay Of Anglesey (15/8), Rogue Star (5/2), Cuban Beat (6/1), Bunker Bay (15/2), Yester (10/1), Sir Min (10/1), State Secretary (11/1), Social Contact (28/1), Asdaa (33/1)

ISLAY OF ANGLESEY reached a fair level in maidens and appeals as the type to improve for the step up to a mile now switched to handicaps. Rogue Star has been eye-catching on both outings this seasons and rates as a major threat, whilst Sir Min could represent some value with Harry Davies on board.
