Summer Of Love²³³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: H Crouch| T: S bin Suroor| CD

7/2

Big eye-catcher on debut and built on that when winning 12-runner maiden at this C&D (5/1), well positioned. Off 7 months. Should have more to offer given her pedigree.

Form: 41-

Castle Peak⁶¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: N Callan| T: George Baker| BFWS

66/1

Murashah³³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Jim Crowley| T: C Hills| D

9/4

Bred to be useful and overcame inexperience to win 8-runner novice event at Haydock (7f, good to firm) on debut in July. Presumably had an issue since but he retains significant potential.

Form: 1-

Bobby Bennu

11/1

€42,000 foal, €85,000 yearling, Phoenix of Spain gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 7f winner Mattymolls Gaga and 6f-7f winner Smeaton's Light. Dam of little account. Newcomer for excellent yard.

115,000 gns yearling, No Nay Never colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart 6f winner Gustavus Weston and useful winner up to 6f Kape Moss. Unfortunate incident when unseating rider at Salisbury 11 days ago. Might be one for handicaps.

Smart Hero³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: J Tate

11/4

Found only one too good on debut but upped in trip and proved far too free when seventh of 10 in novice event at Southwell (8.1f) 38 days ago, doing too much too soon.

Form: 27

(8)

Westridge²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K Shoemark| T: J & T Gosden

14/1

Raced alone/freely and ultimately well held when eleventh of 14 in maiden at Leicester (7f, good) on debut 25 days ago. Has to be capable of better given yard he represents.

Forecasts

Murashah (9/4), Smart Hero (11/4), Summer Of Love (7/2), Bullet Point (5/1), Ten Pounds (8/1), Bobby Bennu (11/1), Westridge (14/1), Nevernay (33/1), Castle Peak (66/1), Oscar Mike (200/1), Signature Blue (250/1), Disquietude (250/1), Hey Crackers (250/1)

SUMMER OF LOVE didn't beat a great bunch over C&D in the autumn but she did it really easily and given her pedigree/connections, is the type to progress again as a 4-y-o. There's depth to this novice but she can concede weight all round, perhaps at the chief expense of Murashah and Ten Pounds.
