Temper Trap⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽⁸⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 60| D

15/8

Enhanced his excellent Hamilton record when pushed out to see off 10 rivals over 9f there 9 days ago. 4 lb rise looks fair so another bold bid is likely.

Form: 054451

Royal Prospect^t⁷^{(ex 4)}

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Owen Lewis⁽³⁾| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 53| D

4/1

Improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at Carlisle (1m, good, 17/2) 7 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Ought to be very competitive under a 4 lb penalty.

Form: 890951

Different proposition after wind surgery, winning 1m AW classified events at Southwell and Lingfield in recent weeks. Has run well at this venue before. Big player.

Forecasts

Eagle Eyed Freddie (5/4), Temper Trap (15/8), Royal Prospect (4/1), Perfect Soldier (8/1), False Id (25/1), Elisheva (66/1), Deconso (66/1), Barney Too (200/1)

It's all come together for EAGLE EYED FREDDIE after a breathing operation and he's taken to complete a quick-hat-trick. Temper Trap and Royal Prospect also arrive on the back of recent wins and can give Mick Appleby's charge most to do.
