1/12

Made promising debut when runner-up at Kempton over this trip in December and backed that up over same C&D 16 days later. Looks the one to beat.

Clear Above²⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Cam Hardie| T: R A Fahey

14/1

Improved from debut when fourth of 10 in maiden at Newcastle over this trip in June, faring best of those ridden prominently. Not seen since, however, and needs improvement to break his duck here. Gelded since last outing.

Form: 04-

Enduring Story

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr

28/1

Kameko filly. Dam once-raced half-sister to very smart winner up to 1½m Biz The Nurse and smart winner up to 1½m (stayed 14.5f) Alfaatik. Newcomer is likely to need more time/distance.

Forecasts

Aqpan (1/1), Aura Champagne (11/8), Clear Above (10/1), Ay Up Duck (12/1), Enduring Story (33/1), Street Dancer (66/1), Battle Standard (100/1)

There should be more to come from AQPAN this year and he can open his account here. Aura Champagne is also open to improvement and looks the obvious danger, with Clear Above best of the rest.
