Dual winner of 5f novices and placed in the Molecomb last season. Better than ever on his return when runner-up in conditions event at Chelmsford but struggled to make an impact back up in class since (carried head bit awkwardly). Headgear now applied.
|
Won twice for Karl Burke at 2 yrs, including a 6f York listed race on final start of campaign. However, failed to make an impact in a couple of appearances for new yard at Meydan earlier this year so questions to answer back from a break.
|
Useful form whe wide-margin winner of Sandown maiden before decent third in Group 3 at Newmarket. Found the Sandy Lane too much at Haydock on return but in a more realistic grade here switched to a handicap.
|
Newcastle novice winner a year ago and followed that by finishing a good fifth in a valuable big-field sales race at the Ebor meeting. Gelded ahead of his career-best winning reappearance at Thirsk and backed that with an excellent third of 22 at York. Easy to forgive latest run at Epsom.
|
Took form to another level when second of 22 in a 5f York handicap at the Dante meeting. A bit too keen for his own good next 2 starts there but he's not taken lightly tackling AW for the first time.
|
Has made good progress in 6f novices, winning for a second time on Yarmouth reappearance. Not disgraced when mid-field on handicap debut at York 4 weeks ago and certainly worth a go at this trip (free-goer).
|
Improved model on AW for this yard and proved every bit as effective back on turf over 5f when runner-up at Sandown in April. Not disgraced at Royal Ascot since and should be much more competitive here. Change of headgear.
|
Won novices at Southwell and Redcar 7 month apart before good second on handicap bow at Ripon 8 weeks ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and remains a useful prospect down in trip.
|
Dual winner over 5f from the front last summer and proved better than ever on second start this term when finishing runner-up in the Epsom 3-y-o Dash. Probably in better form than his last 2 efforts imply so remains of interest eased another 2 lb.
|
Busy at 2 yrs but ran her best race yet when second of 7 in handicap at Haydock (5f, good, 14/1) 22 days ago, clear of rest. Player off same mark switched to the AW for the first time.
|
Fairly useful form as a 2-y-o for Karl Burke but hasn't yet figured for new yard this season. Headgear on.

Forecasts
Mr Lightside (9/2), Showering (11/2), Kullazain (6/1), Loom (6/1), Fluorescence (13/2), Against The Wind (15/2), Lexington Blitz (8/1), Brosay (9/1), Amestris (16/1), Jungle Drums (28/1), Storm Call (100/1)
Plenty to consider but FLUORESCENCE arguably has the most potential, especially tackling 5f for the first time. Lexington Blitz has had excuses since finishing second in the 3-y-o "Dash" at Epsom off 2 lb higher so is next best ahead of Showering, who is another who could benefit from the drop in trip.
