Shining Al Danah¹⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Benoit D L Sayette⁽³⁾| T: J & T Gosden

2/9

Iffraaj filly who had clearly learnt plenty from debut when running out a facile winner of an 8-runner maiden at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) in April, eased final 50 yds. Open to further progress and she ought to prove tough to beat.

Form: 51

(4)

Bayraat¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Garritty| T: T P Tate

4/1

Little solid form in bumpers during 2021/22. However, more like it in couple of spins in this sphere, again running to a fair level when fourth of 13 in maiden (33/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 15 days ago. Likely type for handicaps.

Form: 24

(1)

Our Absent Friends^t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Phil Dennis| T: T Davidson

50/1

Twice-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in maiden at Redcar (7f, good to firm, 20/1) 16 days ago. Can only be watched.

Form: 37

(3)

Star Of Aria¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Zak Wheatley⁽⁵⁾| T: D Carroll

18/1

Twice-raced maiden. Stepped up on debut effort when fifth of 8 in maiden (40/1) at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 16 days ago, albeit well positioned. Another likely type for handicaps.

Form: 45

Forecasts

Shining Al Danah (2/9), Bayraat (4/1), Star Of Aria (18/1), Our Absent Friends (50/1)

This looks a good opening for SHINING AL DANAH who has been absent since the spring but looked a good prospect when taking a Yarmouth maiden (7f) in April and ought to prove tough to beat with the prospect of more to come. Bayraat can do best of the trio in opposition.
