Zed Candy Boy²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: William Pyle⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane

40/1

Washington DC gelding needed the run for fitness/experience when fifth of 6 in novice at this course (6.1f) on belated debut 25 days ago. Significantly up in trip but probably one for the longer-term.

Form: 5

Lowestoft

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: Mrs C A Dunnett

250/1

Eqtidaar gelding. Dam 5f winner. Newcomer doesn't look an obvious type on paper.

My Fermoy²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D J Coakley| OR: 77

1/1

Steadily progressive in maidens (runner-up to a fairly useful sort at Nottingham) prior to being unsuited by muddling race latest, third of 6 in novice (4/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 24 days ago. One for the shortlist in a novice lacking depth.

Form: 3623

Nicator¹⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: K P De Foy

6/5

Persian King gelding. Dam, French 9.5f winner, half-sister to smart 5f (French Group 3)-7f Ideal Beauty. Showed plenty to work on when sixth of 16 in novice at Doncaster (8f, good to firm) on debut. That form has substance and he should improve second time up.

Form: 6

(7)

Sir Bobby

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer

28/1

Massaat gelding. Dam 5f winner. Likely to be an outsider on racecourse bow.

Form:

The Corporate Guy^h1³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Jack Jones

10/1

Improved from debut when 9 lengths eighth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk last time, keeping on once driven entering straight. Has left Gavin Cromwell and drops back in distance in first-time hood for new yard. Another who should prove better off in handicaps.

Form: 48

(5)

No Further Action

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby

33/1

Heeraat mare. Dam maiden (stayed 8.5f) out of winning half-sister to smart US performer up to 1¼m Country Garden. Makes belated debut as a 5-y-o and betting should offer plenty of clues.

Forecasts

My Fermoy (1/1), Nicator (6/5), Time Loop (7/2), The Corporate Guy (10/1), Sahara Sunset (12/1), Sir Bobby (28/1), No Further Action (33/1), Zed Candy Boy (40/1), Lowestoft (250/1)

NICATOR showed plenty in a deeper novice at Doncaster on debut in the summer and can make it second time lucky with improvement on the way. My Fermoy looks the danger, ahead of newcomer No Further Action.
