Beyond The Bar¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 79

11/4

Progressive form, readily winning 1m Redcar novice (good) 15 days ago. Open to further progress in handicaps and leading claims.

Form: 321

(4)

Devil's Peak¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 78

7/2

Good third of 6 in 7f Yarmouth novice last month but can be quite keen and could do with settling if he's to see out this longer distance.

Form: 8243

(6)

Dunkeld Dreamer²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: K R Burke| OR: 77

4/1

Three nursery wins at up to 1m this year. Latest 1¼m Nottingham second was a career best but a further 3 lb rise makes her task a bit harder this time.

Form: 131122

(3)

Trio²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 72

9/1

Improved for the step up to 1m when landing a Leicester maiden 25 days ago. Likely to progress again now moving into handicap company.

Form: 661

Gaspacho^t1³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| OR: 70

5/2

Ghaiyyath filly who stepped up on her debut to win 1m Pontefract novice (soft) 37 days ago. Almost certainly more to come for top stable.

Form: 51

Lapidarist²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-2| J: L Morris| T: D M Simcock| OR: 58

20/1

Modest form, including 4 lengths sixth of 9 on last month's 7f Yarmouth nursery debut. Improvement will be needed.

Form: 4656

Gaspacho (5/2), Beyond The Bar (11/4), Devil's Peak (7/2), Dunkeld Dreamer (4/1), Trio (9/1), Lapidarist (20/1)

There was a lot to like about the way BEYOND THE BAR got the job done at Redcar and he's narrowly preferred to fellow last-time-out winners Gaspacho and Trio.
