Go Racing In Yorkshire Future Stars Apprentice Handicap

(2)

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Mark Winn| T: M Walford| OR: 68

Temperamental sort who hasn't been at his best on the Flat in recent starts and merely closed up late when fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (15.8f) 3 weeks ago. Is now operating 2 lb below last winning mark at least back on the level.

Form: 40-4353

(3)

Easter Island⁷⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: William Pyle⁽³⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 67

Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, seventh of 10 in maiden at Newcastle (10.2f) 75 days ago, never better than midfield and not knocked about. In good hands and improvement distinctly possible now going handicapping up in trip.

Form: 93-7

(6)

Buxted Reel²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Luke Catton| T: Ian Williams| OR: 65

Sole success to date came on AW but he does arrive having run his best race of the campaign when 7 lengths third of 7 in handicap at Chester 915.9f) 22 days ago. Drop in class rates a plus and he's one to bear in mind back down in trip.

Form: 24-6083

Myboymax^p,t³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 65| D

28/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) 30 days ago, always behind. Has fallen to a workable mark but need to see more positive signs before becoming of interest.

Form: 788875

(9)

Turner Girl^p⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Connor Planas| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 64| D

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 5 in handicap (5/2) at Catterick (13.9f, good to firm) 51 days ago, just failing. Has to be taken seriously.

Form: 59-3332

(5)

Funky Town Pinkie²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁶⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 60| D

Dual winner on AW over the winter who ran well on back of 5 months off when second of 6 in handicap at Nottingham 914f) 24 days ago, keeping on final 1f having conceded first run. Remains low-mileage on turf and not out of things.

Form: 114-782

(4)

Desert Quest¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Alex Jary⁽³⁾| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 58| CD

C&D winner. 11/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (14f, good to soft) 15 days ago, racing freely and weakening over 2f out. Return to front-running tactics may well see him in a better light here.

Form: 1089-29

(8)

Lord Torranaga¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Jonny Peate| T: P A Kirby| OR: 55| D

Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 16/1, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Catterick (15.9f, good to firm) 11 days ago, headway under pressure over 2f out and keeping on. Clearly not out of things from this mark.

Form: 457324

(7)

Marbuzet^b¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Christian Howarth| T: T D Easterby| OR: 55| D

Successful twice at up to 14f last year and proving a model of consistency in recent starts, second of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (16.5f) 10 days ago. Merits consideration back down in trip.

Form: 063222

Forecasts

Turner Girl (9/4), Funky Town Pinkie (4/1), Marbuzet (11/2), Oasis Prince (7/1), Buxted Reel (7/1), Lord Torranaga (8/1), Myboymax (16/1), Easter Island (16/1), Desert Quest (20/1)

TURNER GIRL was well served by the drop back in trip and returned to the pick of her form when narrowly denied at Catterick in June and she looks a serious player with a repeat under a promising rider. Marbuzet is proving most consistent and is feared, along with Buxted Reel. Funky Town Pinkie is also respected given she's still lightly raced on turf.
