Age Of Sail¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Parr| OR: 77

5/4

Fair maiden. 11/2, good third of 12 on 1¼m Sandown handicap debut (good) 16 days ago. That was a competitive race and he's likely to go well off the same mark.

11/1

Creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (11f, 12/1) 27 days ago. Being dropped another 2 lb can only help. Ought to be competitive.

Form: 54-5626

(7)

10/1

5/2, fifth of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (1¼m, good to firm) 73 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Enters calculations now back up at 1½m.

Form: 49-4275

Ve Day¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 68

Forecasts

Age Of Sail (5/4), Arclight (16/5), Ve Day (13/2), Sulochana (10/1), The Thunderer (11/1), Eagle One (12/1), Liquid Metric (14/1), Fight For It (16/1), Auntie Margaret (20/1)

Unexposed 3-y-os ARCLIGHT and Age of Sail have the potential for better now going up to 1½m and could be the pair to focus on, with a narrow preference for the former. Sulochana found 1¼m on the short side and may prove best of the rest now back at a more suitable trip, with Benoit de la Sayette taking 3 lb off her back.
