Sweet William^b1⁹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 85

8/11

Son of Sea The Stars who has finished runner-up on all his three starts, gelded before posting best effort at Southwell (11f) in April. That form has worked out well so he's a player with blinkers on for the first time.

Form: 22-2

(5)

King Of The Plains²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Cieren Fallon| T: C Johnston| OR: 84| BF

3/1

Roaring Lion colt who has been placed on all his three outings, second of 6 in minor event at Haydock (11.6f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Remains open to improvement and one to consider.

Form: 322

(2)

Mordor¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D M Simcock

9/2

Roaring Lion colt who built on his debut fifth when third of 9 in minor event at Newcastle (10.2f) 16 days ago. Should have more to offer over this longer trip. Possibilities.

Form: 53

(6)

Tajanis^p1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Dane O'Neill| T: W J Haggas

12/1

Very green on both his starts, better effort when third of 5 in maiden over C&D (firm) on latter occasion 19 days ago. Cheekpieces go on now with more to find on form.

Form: 53

(3)

Onemore Twomore²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Harry Davies| T: P J McBride

200/1

Has offered little in 8.5f Beverley maiden and 10f Chelmsford City novice this summer. Looks to be up against it.

Form: 80

Forecasts

Sweet William (8/11), King Of The Plains (3/1), Ibrahimovic (3/1), Mordor (9/2), Tajanis (12/1), Onemore Twomore (200/1)

SWEET WILLIAM has finished second on all his three starts but this half-brother to the Leger winner Hurricane Lane remains with potential and can get off the mark for the Gosden team. Ibrahimovic also has better days ahead of him and is next on the list ahead of Charlie Johnston's consistent King of The Plains.
