Matters Most²¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 93| CD

14/1

C&D winner. 20/1, 23¾ lengths last of 9 to Ballymount Boy in listed race at Doncaster (6f, heavy). Off 7 months and looks vulnerable off present mark.

Form: 151269-

Dapper Valley³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 93

9/1

Seventh of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good, 9/2) 30 days ago. Good third on return at the same course in April and a reproduction of that effort would put him in the picture.

Form: 1973-37

(3)

Moswaat³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: R Varian| OR: 91| D

13/2

Lightly-raced winner. Eighth of 11 in handicap (6/1) at Newmarket (6f, good) 30 days ago. By no means written off given promise showed at 2 yrs but improvement is certainly needed.

Form: 313-8

(4)

Salvuccio⁹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: W Buick| T: G Boughey| OR: 90

14/1

17/2, bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW), not ideally placed. Has the assistance of William Buick but he could probably do with some respite form the assessor.

Form: 411-647

(2)

G'day Mate³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Harry Davies| T: M Appleby| OR: 85

50/1

13½ lengths seventh of 8 to Blue Day in handicap (16/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 36 days ago. Clearly has work to do.

Form: 043877

Blue Day³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Harry Charlton| OR: 84| D

1/1

Promising individual. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (6/5) at Southwell (6.1f) 36 days ago, plenty in hand. Hit with a 7 lb rise but this colt almost certainly has more to offer.

Form: 442-1

(5)

Trefor³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Saffie Osborne| T: C Hills| OR: 79| CD

7/2

C&D winner. Bit below form fourth of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good, 17/2) 30 days ago. Now 1 lb lower and he has to enter calculations.

Form: 0146-24

Forecasts

Blue Day (1/1), Trefor (7/2), Jimmy Speaking (4/1), Cajetan (5/1), Moswaat (13/2), Dapper Valley (9/1), Matters Most (14/1), Salvuccio (14/1), Royal Zabeel (20/1), G'day Mate (50/1)

It's hard not to resist BLUE DAY, who showed plenty in his three starts as a juvenile and duly improved when making a winning handicap debut on return at Southwell. He had plenty left in the tank that day and this 7 lb higher mark should be well within reach. The hat-trick seeking Jimmy Speaking looks nailed-on for another big effort, while Dapper Valley is third choice ahead of Cajetan and Trefor.
