5th Regiment Royal Artillery Raceday Handicap

Off time: 16:01 | Winning time: 1m 16.62s

(12)

Lezardrieux¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 64| CD

4/1

Former C&D winner. On a favourable mark but not obviously in the form to take advantage. Also has a wide draw to contend with.

Form: 680400

(4)

Mews House¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Cameron Noble| T: R Menzies| OR: 63| CD

15/2

C&D winner in July. Not in the same form when fifth of 7 at Southwell (5f) since but it's possible a return to this venue will spark a revival. One of the more likely types.

Form: 753415

Silver Kitten⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Jason Hart| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 65

10/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2021 but has recorded good placed efforts on 3 of her last 4 starts. Goes off the same mark as when runner-up at Epsom last week and a bold show seems likely from a handy inside stall.

Form: 603262

Sweet Glance^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 64| D

9/1

Won her second handicap start at Leicester (6f, good to soft) in May but has failed to match that form in her 3 outings since. Still relatively early days but others arrive with more pressing claims.

Form: 841750

Kendred Fire¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J Garritty| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 62| D

13/2

Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Visored first time, ninth of 13 in handicap (12/1) at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Headgear is quickly discarded.r

Form: 623039

Laertes⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Beasley| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 62

14/1

Has hinted at ability on all 3 starts and appeals as one who'll go on to better things in handicaps. One to keep a close eye on in the betting.

Form: 057

Soller Bay^b³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 59| D

7/1

Won at York last autumn but has yet to hit the same heights in 5 outings this year.

Form: 1-79656

Tar Heel¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Sean Kirrane⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 58| D

5/1

One win from 30 Flat runs. Twenty three runs since last win in 2020. 7/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Carlisle (6f, good) 18 days ago. Others are preferred for win purposes again.

Form: 706257

Jackmeister Rudi²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: B A Curtis| T: K Scott| OR: 59| D

15/2

Winner at Brighton for David Evans in June but below-par wixth in 2 outings for new yard last month. Below that successful mark but need to see more before lending support.

Form: 219366

Point Of Woods²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: Phil Dennis| T: Miss T Jackson| OR: 56| D

25/1

Unreliable type, although he did win at Thirsk in May. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good to firm, 20/1) 29 days ago, nearest finish.

Form: 210303

(3)

Stronsay^p⁹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Garritty| T: L Bailey| OR: 55| CD

28/1

C&D winner. Twelfth of 14 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to soft, 15/2). Off 99 days. Break needs to have had a reviving effect.

Forecasts

Lezardrieux (4/1), Tar Heel (5/1), Kendred Fire (13/2), Soller Bay (7/1), Jackmeister Rudi (15/2), Mews House (15/2), Macho Pride (15/2), Sweet Glance (9/1), Silver Kitten (10/1), Laertes (14/1), Point Of Woods (25/1), Stronsay (28/1)

The suggestion is SILVER KITTEN who is nicely berthed in stall 2 and goes off the same mark as when a good second at Epsom last week. Fellow 3-y-o Laertes would be a potential threat if the betting speaks in his favour now switching to handicap company. Mews House is also respected back at the scene of his win in July.
