Stepped up on reappearance display when fourth at Yarmouth in April and has improved since with cheekpieces refitted, bagging back-to-back 7f Lingfield handicaps in good style on good/good to firm. Big player under a penalty with William Buick booked.
|
Looked very promising when landing a 6f maiden on debut here at 2 yrs but, despite performing pretty well on a couple of occasions in 2023, she has essentially proved disappointing since, not least when down the field at Kempton on her seasonal reappearance last month.
|
Successful twice last summer and back on the scoresheet at Brighton (7f, good) in April. Has found life tougher off this 5 lb higher mark since, though, and she's likely to find at least one or two too good once more.
|
Back-to-back winner of 7f handicaps last summer and bettered her low-key reappearance when fourth of 7 at Yarmouth. However, subsequent Doncaster effort with tongue strap refitted (retained) was no more than fair and she looks vulnerable.
|
Losing run mounting up and while she hasn't done a great deal wrong on the AW since the turn of the year, this 6-y-o is rarely sighted on turf (little impact on each of her 4 previous runs on grass) and ther percentage call is to therefore look elsewhere.
|
Multiple winner on the AW, including back-to-back handicaps at Wolverhampton and Lingfield during the winter. Latest fifth of 16 at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) was a step up on his previous turf efforts and he's one to consider off 1 lb lower here.
|
Respectable strike rate on the AW (4-15) but it's a different story in terms of his turf exploits (0-18) and he has hardly been shaping as though his turn is near of late.
|
Placed a couple of times at Kempton during the spring and put in a good shift returned to turf when going close at Salisbury (7f, good) 9 days ago. Strong at the finish there and will be a danger to all granted a strong pace to aim at.
|
Enjoyed a good time of it last June, landing 7f handicaps at Yarmouth and over this C&D, prior to finishing a creditable third back here the following month. Yet to hit top form this season but the handicapper has reacted accordingly and he may well come good again sometime soon.
|
Overcame a slow start when arriving late on the scene to bag a C&D handicap off a 4 lb higher mark for Jim Boyle last June. Ended 2023 campaign with a couple of creditable efforts at Epsom but nearer last than first all 3 starts for new yard this season and plenty to prove at present.
|
Hit the target twice last year but he's not the most genuine of types and is opposable on the back of a heavy defeat at Windsor earlier this month.
|
Followed Southwell success in December with a string of below par performances but back on track returned to turf when third off at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last month. Now tried in a hood and he merits respect off an untouched mark.
|
Made it back-to-back wins when scoring at Chelmsford in April and creditable third back on turf at Brighton later that month. However, good run of form has come to a halt the last twice and yard saddles a more appealing candidate in Sayifyouwill.

Forecasts
Yantarni (4/5), Sayifyouwill (8/1), Rich (10/1), Flying Secret (10/1), Red Maids (16/1), Royal Musketeer (16/1), Twilight Dancer (16/1), Ultramarine (18/1), Algheed (28/1), Freetodream (28/1), Dutch Kingdom (28/1), Marsh Benham (33/1), Secret Strength (66/1)
The hat-trick beckons for YANTARNI, who is back on the up all of a sudden and the booking of William Buick suggests that connections mean business. Granted a strong end-to-end gallop Sayifyouwill, who put in good late work when going close at Salisbury recently, will be a big threat. Dutch Kingdom and Royal Musketeer will both be on the premises, too, if able to build on their latest efforts.
- Yantarni4/5
