Final Entry^p³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S D Bowen⁽³⁾| T: D Pipe

16/1

Modest winner at 17f over hurdles. First run since leaving Mrs J. Harrington and cheekpieces on, won 5-runner juvenile hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good to soft, 11/2) on NH debut 39 days ago, driven out. More needed on previous Flat form back on the level.

Form: 83

Seeking Charles¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Taylor Fisher⁽³⁾| T: J Tickle

125/1

Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, first run since leaving Ralph Smith when eighth of 9 in maiden at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 10 days ago.

Form: 78

(6)

William Walton

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K Stott| T: Owen Burrows

10/3

725,000 gns yearling, Galileo gelding. Brother to top-class winner up to 1½m Waldgeist and 1½m winner Wildfeder and closely related to smart 1½m winner Waldlied. This is quite a late debut but his pedigree stands out.

Beeley^p²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 84

1/1

Found only one too good for the fourth time in 5 starts in 9-runner novice at Kempton (12f, 9/2) 22 days ago. Sets the clear standard.

Form: 2-2522

(7)

Consuelo⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 79| BF

2/1

Stoutly-bred filly who was never really going when third of 9 in novice at Kempton (11f) 56 days ago. Slight step up in trip returned to turf can only help her cause.

Form: 0-33

(3)

Dunes Song²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽⁵⁾| T: Harry Charlton

50/1

Stepped up on debut run when sixth of 9 in novice at Kempton (12f, 80/1) 22 days ago.

Form: 86

150/1

Fourth of 5 in maiden at this C&D (good to firm, 33/1) on debut 30 days ago, slowly away.

Form: 4

Forecasts

Beeley (1/1), Consuelo (2/1), William Walton (10/3), Final Entry (16/1), Dunes Song (50/1), Seeking Charles (125/1), Toni's Legacy (150/1)

Despite finishing second 4 times in 5 starts, BEELEY doesn't do an awful lot wrong and this could be the day for her deserved first success. William Walton's pedigree is eye-catching to say the least so he demands a market check, with Consuelo likely to be seen in a better light returned to turf upped slightly in distance.
