UB40 Live After Racing 24th July Handicap

(7)

Thanos^p¹⁰^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 10-1| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Harry Charlton| OR: 58

4/7

Built on his previous promise in handicaps fitted with first-time cheekpieces when easily off the mark in 12-runner event at Lingfield (7f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Looks well-in under a 6-lb penalty and can follow up if seeing out the longer trip.

Form: 7922-21

(4)

Lihou Lady⁷⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: P Cosgrave| T: P D Evans| OR: 58

16/1

Little promise in 3 all-weather starts but at least now gets a crack at a low-grade handicap.

Form: 6-67

(2)

Mooj¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Jack Jones| OR: 57

9/1

Showed promise when third of 8 at Leicester (6f) on debut in October. Has failed to reproduce that form on both subsequent outings but probably needed the run on seasonal return at Windsor and not one to write off now going handicapping.

Form: 35-9

(1)

Alice's Influence^v²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: P D Evans| OR: 53| D

11/4

Took another step forward to share the spoils in an 8-runner Wetherby handicap in April. Denied only by a fellow improver at Bath subsequently (1m) and ought to give another good account.

Form: 059-412

(5)

Violet Goldsmith⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 53

12/1

Hasn't shown much in 4 outings, including on handicap debut at Southwell latest. Cheekpieces quickly discarded.

Form: 787-0

(6)

Diamond Aura^p¹⁶⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Ross Coakley| T: H Palmer| OR: 52

40/1

Offered something to work on when third of 5 at Southwell on debut in October but has gone backwards since. Makes turf debut.

Form: 3888-

(3)

Karmacy¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Rose Dawes⁽⁵⁾| T: Andrew Martin| OR: 50

80/1

Has little solid form for all that he probably raced closer to the strong pace than ideal in 7f all-weather handicap at Lingfield on yard debut 17 days ago.

Form: 878-87

Forecasts

Thanos (8/11), Alice's Influence (9/4), Mooj (12/1), Violet Goldsmith (12/1), Lihou Lady (16/1), Diamond Aura (33/1), Karmacy (50/1)

THANOS looks well-in under a 6 lb penalty for his wide-margin Lingfield success and will surely follow up if seeing out the extra 1f. Alice's Influence looks the one to benefit should the selection's stamina give way, though handicap-debutante Mooj shouldn't be written off given her debut promise.
