Abillity

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll

25/1

Ulysses gelding. Half-brother to 8.6f winner Capricious. Dam maiden (stayed 8.5f), half-sister to smart winner up to 9f Mister Music. Has a fairly useful standard to aim at on debut.

Form:

Al Farabi²⁰⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Cameron Noble| T: R Varian

1/3

Encouragement when third of 7 in newcomers race at Chantilly (1m soft, 16/10) in April. Off 6 months (has been gelded) ahead of first run for yard after leaving A. Fabre. May well do better.

Form: 3

Falcon¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett

3/1

After 9 months off (gelded), showed more than first time up when fifth of 11 in minor event (15/2) at Southwell (7.1f) 15 days ago. Could take another step forward with yard continuing to go well.

Form: 95

Ricardo Ofworthing¹⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: S Dow| OR: 42

66/1

Has struggled for form this year, last of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 18/1) when last seen in June. Best watched.

Form: 5-75770

Tilsworth Turf⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Liam Wright⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Jenkins

100/1

Didn't offer much on his first outing when sixth of 7 in minor event at Leicester (7f, heavy, 100/1) 8 days ago. Looks to be up against it.

Form: 6

Local Music²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: M Crawley

17/2

First run since leaving K. J. Condon, improved from debut when third of 5 in maiden at Chelmsford City (7f, 40/1) 20 days ago. Needs to find more again.

Forecasts

Al Farabi (1/3), Summer Of Love (4/5), Falcon (3/1), Desert Horizon (6/1), Local Music (17/2), Guy Fawkes (16/1), Abillity (25/1), Ricardo Ofworthing (66/1), Tilsworth Turf (100/1)

SUMMER OF LOVE looked a useful prospect when getting off the mark at this C&D 9 days ago, scoring with plenty in hand, and she can follow up with further improvement to come. The main danger could be Al Farabi, who is open to progress on his first start for Roger Varian, while Desert Horizon is one to note on debut.
