Stoneacre¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Harrison Shaw| T: S Dixon

100/1

Third of 4 in novice (22/1) at Newcastle (8f) on debut 13 days ago. That was a muddling contest but he did show some ability and could hit the frame.

Form: 3

Raagi²⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M Botti

3/1

Wootton Bassett colt. 14/1, fourth of 10 in maiden at this C&D on debut. Yard's newcomers often improve for the run, but 8 month absence perhaps tempers enthusiasm.

Form: 4

(6)

Swift Storm^t³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 78| BF

10/3

Thrice-raced maiden. 13/8 and tongue strap on for 1st time, rejoined former yard from Dominic Ffrench Davis when third of 7 in novice at Leicester (7f, heavy) 37 days ago. Amongst the standard setters on the pick of his form and he may well come on for his recent run.

Form: 3-33

(1)

Wind River²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Loughnane| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 74

11/8

Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, very good second of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 20 days ago. Sets the standard on that effort returned to novice company.

Form: 7-2902

(9)

Empress Of Hope³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: George Wood| T: Harry Eustace

50/1

Twice-raced maiden. 40/1, fifth of 7 in maiden at Kempton (7f) 36 days ago. Seemingly being brought along gradually.

Form: 95

Safio's Princess²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: S Whitaker

200/1

Last in maiden/C&D novice event.

Form: 85

Sapience

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Jonny Peate| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam

12/1

Study of Man filly. Half-sister to 1m-10.7f winner Manbehindthemoney. Likeable pedigree and represents a yard who can ready a debut winner, so certainly worth a second look.

Forecasts

Wind River (11/8), Raagi (3/1), Swift Storm (10/3), Khaleejy (4/1), Sapience (12/1), Empress Of Hope (50/1), Stoneacre (100/1), King's Conquest (100/1), Safio's Princess (200/1)

WIND RIVER produced an improved effort dropped back in trip when runner-up in a Newcastle handicap at the start of the month and sets a good standard racing over shorter still. Swift Storm showed plenty to like on his first 2 outings and is likely to come on for his recent comeback run, whilst there's plenty to like about James Tate's newcomer Khaleejy on paper.
