Added to his good Newmarket record when winning an 8-runner handicap over C&D last month. Raised 3 lb but the capable Adam Farragher also takes 3 lb off. Bold bid likely.
|
Yet to score this term but plenty of respectable efforts for his new yard. Latest ninth of 11 at Yarmouth wasn't one of them, though. Bounce back needed.
|
Dual 7f winner at Yarmouth and Newbury this summer. Also a creditable third at latter venue on penultimate start and possibly unsuited by softer ground when below par at Ascot latest. Has form at 6f. William Buick takes the ride.
|
AW winner on final 2-y-o start. Shaped well from a tricky position when neck third to Radio Goo Goo on 6f Chester reappearance but below that level twice since. First run for new yard after leaving Alice Haynes.
|
Ran well to be placed at Sandown (5f) and Brighton (7f) in June but ran one of his lesser races when down the field over 5f here 3 weeks ago. Bounce back needed.
|
Won back to back over 6f at Newbury and Yarmouth in June. Respectable second back at Yarmouth on ha-trick bid 6 weeks ago. Sports first-time cheekpieces.
|
Off the mark at third attempt in 7-runner Lingfield novice (6f, good to firm) in June. Only a respectable fourth of 5 on his handicap debut back there since but he retains potential as an unexposed sort.
|
Got back on track in first-time blinkers when third of 8 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good to firm) last month but not in the same form when fifth over 7f here last Friday.
|
Improved again to get off the mark in a 6f Ascot handicap in May. Needs to shrug off a couple of lesser runs since but he does have the services of Oisin Murphy. v
|
33/1, left first 2 efforts this season well behind when winning 13-runner handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 42 days ago, suited by way race developed. Should remain competitive off 4 lb higher but he has yet to win from a mark in the 70s.
|
Has reacted well to a visor, getting off the mark in a 6f Windsor novice last month and looked a bit unlucky not to finish closer (denied a clear run) when third of 8 in handicap there 3 weeks later. Respected.

Forecasts
Equiano Springs (7/2), Flying Secret (6/1), Lady Dreamer (6/1), Prospering (7/1), Rathbone (8/1), Ice Cool Harry (8/1), Champagne Sarah (11/1), Dashing Dick (12/1), Distinguished Lady (12/1), Tolstoy (22/1), Golden Duke (25/1)
EQUIANO SPRINGS has his 3 lb rise for last month's C&D success offset by Adam Farragher's claim and might be able to follow up. Lady Dreamer can extend her run of good efforts since visored to 3 and provide the chief threat ahead of Clive Cox's Ice Cool Harry.
