8/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 22/1, seventh of 11 in maiden at Ffos Las (7.4f, soft) 31 days ago. Has been gelded ahead of handicap debut but is still to convince at this trip (bred to be a sprinter).

Me Tarzan^v²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: George Wood| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 67| D

9/1

2 wins from 5 runs this year, latest at Lingfield in June. Eighth of 12 in handicap at Ffos Las (7.4f, soft, 5/1) 24 days ago. Possibly unsuited by conditions that day, so worth another chance.

Form: 3-33118

Tam Lin^h1⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Dominique Van Der Kraats⁽⁷⁾| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 67| D

14/1

Latest win at Bellewstown in April. 11/1, sixth of 14 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 55 days ago, doing too much too soon. First run for yard after leaving Daniel James Murphy. Hood on 1st time.

Defence Missile³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Tommie Jakes⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 66

33/1

Showed more than previously for current yard when fifth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) 32 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Needs to build on that now.

Form: 46-8705

(9)

Luminous Warrior^b,t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J Ferguson| OR: 66

4/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 13/2, third of 9 in handicap at this course (8f, good to firm) 13 days ago. That form has been boosted since and he may do better still.

Form: 0-053

Unforgetable Belle^h⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 65| D

28/1

Again ran below form when last of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good, 28/1) 56 days ago, racing freely and already beating a retreat when badly hampered over 1f out. Something to find on form.

Form: 9651-50

Reenie's Dream²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Andrew Breslin⁽³⁾| T: B Smart| OR: 60

Forecasts

Hunky Dory (85/40), Luminous Warrior (4/1), Amelia's Joy (11/2), Mum's Angel (8/1), Me Tarzan (9/1), Call Me Betty (9/1), The Childe Of Hale (10/1), Reenie's Dream (12/1), Line Of Force (12/1), Ottawa (14/1), Tam Lin (14/1), Unforgetable Belle (28/1), Defence Missile (33/1)

LUMINOUS WARRIOR made a solid start to life in handicaps when third here 13 days ago and, with the drop back in trip likely to suit, he's taken to build on that effort and open his account. Me Tarzan was possibly unsuited by the softer conditions at Ffos Las on his most recent outing and is worth another chance, with Hunky Dory completing the shortlist.
