Dapper Valley^p⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: James Owen| OR: 80| D

13/2

Rejuvenated since joining new yard, winning last two starts after a poor run. Won by a short head in handicap at Chester (5/6) 8 days ago, racing freely and just holding on when challenged. Remains of interest despite stepping back up in grade, having been rated as high as 94 in the past.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Christian Howarth⁽³⁾| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 82| D

11/1

Has shown ability with a good second at York, before finishing seventh of 11 in handicap at Carlisle (7/1) 19 days ago when racing far too freely in first-time visor. Cheekpieces back on could help return to previous form.

The Quiet Gent^b¹⁷

15/2

Inconsistent performer who returned to best form when 2nd of 7 in 7f handicap at Kempton (3/1) 17 days ago, making good late headway in first-time blinkers. Drop back to 6f on turf should be suitable based on previous form.

Form: 1-26072

Forecasts

Coul Angel (5/2), The Dragon King (7/2), Bob Mali (9/2), Dapper Valley (13/2), The Quiet Gent (15/2), Thunder Blue (17/2), Arran (10/1), Far Above The Law (11/1), Kinetic Force (12/1), Inns Of Fear (20/1)

BOB MALI has returned to his best form, making encouraging late headway when second in a competitive Doncaster handicap recently. The rejuvenated Dapper Valley brings solid credentials having won his last two starts, most recently just holding on at Chester. Thunder Blue could also figure if reproducing his recent Salisbury success.
