Apache Canyon¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: M Wigham| OR: 65

40/1

Kessaar gelding who has offered something to work on in 2 of his 3 starts in 1m maidens in recent weeks. Rates a likely improver now handicapping and market confidence behind him would look significant.

Centurion Dream^p¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 65

9/2

50/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fared little better than on return when last of 6 in handicap at Epsom (8.5f, good) 16 days ago. Possible he isn't the most straightforward.

Form: 3638-46

(7)

Calanthe¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 65

14/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, seventh of 9 in novice at Kempton (7f) 14 days ago, going in snatches and always behind. Switch to handicaps in his favour and surprise were he not capable of better. Another to note in the betting for positive vibes.

Form: 367

Commander Crouch^b1⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: P Cosgrave| T: J R Boyle| OR: 62

5/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Seventh of 10 in handicap (10/1) at Sandown (8f, good to firm) 42 days ago. Needs to bounce back with blinkers now reached for and the return to class 6 company may help.

Form: 084367

Time Tested¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M L W Bell| OR: 61| CD

8/15

Improved at a low level of late, making it 2 wins from his last 3 starts in 10-runner handicap at this C&D (AW) 15 days ago, staying on to lead close home. Leading claims again up 4 lb.

This Time Maybe¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: George Rooke| T: M D I Usher| OR: 61

40/1

Eighth of 10 in handicap (80/1) at Salisbury (8f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 9207-98

(8)

Zousca¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D Loughnane| OR: 60

20/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Second of 4 in novice (33/1) at Catterick (7f, good) 14 days ago. However, she was still beaten a fair way then and step forward required if she's to figure on handicap bow.

Form: 9-72

(9)

Floridian²⁰⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: George Wood| T: Dr J D Scargill| OR: 59

50/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, last of 7 in C&D handicap in February, driven over 3f out and left behind soon after. Needs to get back on track returning from 6 months off.

Form: 033-57

Forecasts

Time Tested (8/15), Joolianoss (5/2), Centurion Dream (9/2), Commander Crouch (5/1), Calanthe (14/1), Zousca (20/1), This Time Maybe (40/1), Apache Canyon (40/1), Floridian (50/1)

TIME TESTED has found some improvement at a low level of late, never stronger than at the finish when making it 2 wins from his last 3 starts in a C&D handicap 2 weeks ago. He makes plenty of appeal up 4 lb. Joolianoss rates the chief threat, ahead of Apache Canyon. Commander Crouch isn't one to write off either now blinkers are reached for.
