Mr Wagyu^v¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 95| D

3/1

Admirable sprinter who was back on track when third in the Dash at Epsom. Well held at Haydock a week later but wasted no time showing he's still in form when seventh of 27 in Wokingham at Royal Ascot 11 days ago. Much respected in these calmer waters.

Form: 087397

Bergerac¹¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Curtis Wilson-Ruddock⁽⁷⁾| T: K A Ryan| OR: 95| D

18/1

Reacted well to blinkers when winning handicaps at Newmarket and York last summer. The headgear was left off when well held on his 5f Newcastle reappearance in March and it's missing again back from a further 3 months off.

Form: 11604-8

Tinto⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 88| CD

9/2

C&D winner. 9/2, respectable fourth of 11 in C&D handicap (good) 46 days ago. Back on a winning mark. Needs considering.

Form: 804-054

(6)

Danger Alert^b⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 94| D

18/1

Career best when landing a third win of the year in 5f Chester handicap (heavy) in May (final outing for George Boughey). 6 lb rise demands more again now starting out for a new stable.

Form: 4-12191

(1)

Music Society¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 83| D

17/2

Creditable third of 13 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good, 12/1) 10 days ago. Ought to be competitive from the same mark.

Form: 022083

(2)

Ghathanfar^v⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 82| D

7/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm, 11/2) 4 days ago. Visor back on. Others are preferred.

Form: 889578

Zaman Jemil¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: R Kingscote| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 86| D

13/2

14/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on reappearance 16 days ago. Possible he'll be sharper for the outing.

Form: 42137-3

(3)

Rock Of England^b¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: B A Curtis| T: E Bethell| OR: 82| CD

9/2

C&D winner at 2. Back to winning ways at Hamilton in first-time blinkers and backed that up when second at Ripon (6f, good) 14 days ago. Player if in the same form here.

Form: 6-54612

Forecasts

Mr Wagyu (3/1), Ghathanfar (7/2), Rock Of England (9/2), Tinto (9/2), Zaman Jemil (13/2), Music Society (17/2), Danger Alert (18/1), Bergerac (18/1)

A useful sprint. MR WAGYU was a highly creditable seventh in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot and could take a bit of stopping in this lower grade. Rock of England will be a threat if the blinkers continue to have a positive effect. Tinto is on a winning mark and is another to consider.
