Walson's Law²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 85| D

10/3

Promising type. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. 9/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Newbury (7f, good to firm) 29 days ago, driven out. Hit with a 7 lb rise, but he's 2-3 on turf and may well have more to offer.

Form: 626-151

Where's Freddy^p,t²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 83| BF| CD

11/4

C&D winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year, the latest here in June. 7/2, ninth of 11 in handicap at this course (8f, good to firm) 22 days ago, merely closing up late. Likely to find one or two too good.

Form: 142019

Waiting All Night^p¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: N Callan| T: R Spencer| OR: 77| BF| CD

5/2

C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2024. Creditable second of 6 in handicap (13/8) at this C&D (good to soft) 13 days ago, clear of rest. Solid chance.

Form: 505782

Eminency^h,t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Olivia Haines⁽⁷⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 76

8/1

One win from 23 Flat runs. Twenty-one runs since last win in 2022. Tenth of 11 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 21 days ago. Somewhat surprising that he's kept to this trip (best form at 6f).

Form: 5-79720

Bell Shot^p³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Mason Paetel⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 75| D

13/2

Latest win at Beverley in May. 11/2, third of 4 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good) 38 days ago. May have to settle for another minor role.

Form: 534143

The Caribbean^b²²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-6| J: Aidan Keeley| T: H Main| OR: 68| D

10/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form sixth of 14 in handicap (5/1) at Newbury (6f, firm) 22 days ago. Blinkers now refitted and he's likely to come up short once again.

Form: 8-23056

Forecasts

Waiting All Night (5/2), Where's Freddy (11/4), Walson's Law (10/3), Documenting (6/1), Bell Shot (13/2), Eminency (8/1), The Caribbean (10/1)

Lightly-raced 4-y-o WALSON'S LAW made it 2-3 for this yard/on turf when scoring at Newbury last month and a 7 lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from going in again, given his scope for further improvement. Last year's winner Waiting All Night is feared most ahead of the veteran Documenting.
