Mister Mojito^t³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽³⁾| T: T Kent| OR: 75| D

3/1

Successful at Yarmouth (7f) 5 weeks ago, quickly back on the up returned to turf, making a good move to hit the front and just needing to be kept up to his work late on by his usual claimer. Can go well again back up 3 lb.

Form: 4-71191

Strike¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Callan⁽⁷⁾| T: J G Portman| OR: 75| C

11/2

Three-time winner last year, including here, and proving consistent this term, keeping on and beaten just a length at Salisbury last time. Respected under new claimer.

Form: 78-4224

(6)

Billy Mill¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Oliver Searle⁽⁵⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 75| D

13/2

Hasn't been able to reproduce May Kempton-winning form in 2 subsequent runs on turf and others safer for now.

Form: 778146

(11)

Follow Your Heart^t⁹^{(ex 4)}

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: W Buick| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 71| D

6/1

Long held a lower turf mark and was belatedly able to capitalise on it to notch a third win of the season in 7f Doncaster handicap recently. Far from sure to back that up under a penalty.

Form: 415751

(10)

Byzantine Empress^p1¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Finley Marsh| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 74| D

9/1

Good return at Haydock and left poorly placed at Musselburgh last time. Cheekpieces go on now and not dismissed.

Form: 355-305

(2)

Tintoretto⁴⁴⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: T Ward| OR: 73| D

50/1

Lightly raced in recent years and not been seen again for 14 months. Can only be watched unless there is market support.

Form: 57188/4-

(4)

Silver Trumpet²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 72| DWS

8/1

Successful 3 times over 7f last season and creeping back towards last winning mark. Has had a breathing operation and could go well.

Form: 20-3797

(9)

Land Of Magic^h,t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 72| D

40/1

Scored at Lingfield (7f, turf) in May but not in the same form from this career-high mark at Salisbury 14 days ago.

Form: 225-017

(3)

Extrication³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Joe Leavy| T: R A Teal| OR: 71| BF

12/1

Fairly useful maiden, placed 3 times in 2024 and probably has a race or two in him from reduced mark. 7f might be short enough for him now, though.

Form: 0246-70

(12)

Stratocracy^p³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: K Frost| OR: 70| BF

6/1

Struck twice last season and has returned in good form, third in 1m Wetherby handicap that worked out well and running a cracker with cheekpieces back on up against a well-treated rival at Newmarket 6 weeks ago. Respected.

Form: 451-332

(7)

Windsor Pass¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-4| J: Tyler Heard| T: J Butler| OR: 56| D

14/1

Shaping up well from much reduced mark, making late headway having been left with too much to do at Chelmsford (7f) last time. Interesting to see market support back on turf.

Form: 543345

Marlay Park¹⁸

Weight: 9-7| Age: 7

T: J R Boyle J: Paddy Bradley

Forecasts

Mister Mojito (3/1), Strike (11/2), Stratocracy (6/1), Follow Your Heart (6/1), Billy Mill (13/2), Silver Trumpet (8/1), Marlay Park (8/1), Byzantine Empress (9/1), Extrication (12/1), Windsor Pass (14/1), Land Of Magic (40/1), Tintoretto (50/1)

STRATOCRACY has returned in good form and can resume winning ways. Silver Trumpet could be a player back from a breathing operation, while Yarmouth winner Mister Mojito and Windsor Pass, from her much-reduced mark, are also in the mix.
