Silastar³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 77| C

4/1

Improved to win at Leicester (10f, heavy) in April before taking another step forward to follow up in 12-runner handicap at Sandown (10f, good) 34 days ago, well on top finish. Should have enough in hand to cope with 5 lb rise.

Form: 98-6211

Graignes^t⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: W Buick| T: George Baker| OR: 75| BF

7/1

Well handicapped on the form of his 2 wins in France in 2021 and was given a considerate return when fourth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (10f, heavy) in May. One to note if market speaks favourably.

Form: 30/055-4

Wild Hurricane^h1²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 74

7/2

Hasn't looked the easiest of rides in novice/maiden company so far, most recently when fifth of 12 (14/1) at Chepstow (10f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Makes handicap debut with hood on.

Form: 3-35

Chips And Rice⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 73

5/2

Made winning start for this yard when scoring on return at Lingfield and showed improved form behind a pair of unexposed 3yos at Ascot on next start. Should give another good account from same mark.

Form: 1242-13

Fascinating Lips²⁷¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore| OR: 72

12/1

Won Lingfield seller last summer before a pair of good placed efforts. Absent since making successful transition to hurdling in 4-runner novice hurdle (15/8) at Fontwell (17.7f, good) on NH debut but would merit respect if fully tuned up back on the Flat.

Form: 53/2123-

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Ross Coakley| T: F Brennan| OR: 72| BF| C

Caribou^t⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: A J Farragher⁽³⁾| T: R Stephens| OR: 66

50/1

Shaped as if better for run when fourth of 11 in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm, 10/1) 43 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Tongue strap back on. Both wins have come at sprint trips, so has to prove he stays this far.

Form: 74/090-4

Waterloo Sunset²²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: George Bass⁽³⁾| T: D J Coakley| OR: 65

10/1

Lightly raced for age but has been in decent heart of late, second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 22 days ago. Can give another good account.

Forecasts

Chips And Rice (5/2), Wild Hurricane (7/2), Silastar (4/1), Meisterzinger (5/1), Graignes (7/1), Waterloo Sunset (10/1), Down To The Kid (11/1), Fascinating Lips (12/1), Lafan (25/1), Monteria (33/1), Caribou (50/1)

SILASTAR is an improved model this season and looks capable of completing the hat-trick after recent wins at Leicester and Sandown. Chips And Rice has ran well on both of her outings for James Fanshawe, latterly when chasing home an unexposed pair of 3-y-os, and is feared most, with Down To The Kid taken to complete the placings.
