Harlem Nights⁶^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: P J McDonald| T: James Horton| OR: 74| D

9/4

Likeable sort who found further improvement to land a 12-runner event at Doncaster last week, quickening up in good style. Solid claims under the penalty.

Form: 3-17221

(5)

Almarin^b⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: J F Egan| T: P Owens| OR: 77| D

9/1

Fairly useful handicapper who shaped better than the bare result when sixth in a handicap at Kempton 9 days ago. Worthy of consideration.

Form: 824246

Leadenhall¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 77| D

10/11

Well-bred colt who took his form to new level when forging clear of Harlem Nights at Haydock last time. Could be a good deal more to come, so he's a confident choice to follow up.

Form: 54-3631

(2)

United Force^p⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: K T O'Neill| T: C Hobson| OR: 76

125/1

Got off the mark at Leicester (7f) in April before backing it up with good second of nine in 1m Carlisle handicap. Disappointing at Musselburgh 2 months ago and has left Archie Watson since, so others make more appeal.

Form: 327125

Speriamo¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: W Buick| T: P J McBride| OR: 74

14/1

Signed off 2-y-o campaign on a winning note in a 7f nursery on the Rowley course and reappearance spin on the AW was fairly encouraging. However, it's been pretty much downhill all the way since and she needs to bounce back.

Form: 01-4800

Yellow Lion¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 70| D

15/2

Better than the result on numerous occasions this year and put it all together to score with something to spare at Salisbury last time. Should go well again.

Form: 732651

Forecasts

Leadenhall (10/11), Harlem Nights (9/4), Yellow Lion (15/2), Almarin (9/1), Speriamo (14/1), United Force (125/1)

LEADENHALL upped his game significantly when forging clear of Harlem Nights at Haydock 13 days ago and he's likely to uphold the form with his old rival (who has won since). Fellow last-time-out winner Yellow Lion is another one to consider.
