Royal Windsor Supports Racing Staff Week Apprentice Handicap

Off time: 17:47 | Winning time: 1m 12.65s

(8)

Giant³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Donagh Murphy| T: Ian Williams| OR: 60

9/1

Well held but shaped better than the beaten distance suggests in a similar grade at Lingfield (7f, good to soft), when he only had one ahead of him in the betting and could be worth another chance at this level.

Form: 80-6300

(6)

Lahina Bay²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Alexandra Egan| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 58| CD

12/1

Winner here last summer before landing a Bath/Lingfield double later in the season. She can have a line put through latest start at Lingfield and is one to consider now below her latest winning mark.

Form: 154-365

(9)

Alashos^p³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Harry Vigors| T: C Gordon| OR: 58| D

5/1

Snapped a lengthy losing run/gained a first handicap success on the all-weather at Lingfield before running at least as well in defeat when fourth in a slightly higher grade here last time.

Form: 544814

Nordic Glory²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: James Glennon⁽⁵⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 56| C| D

20/1

Quirky sort who resumed winning ways on return at Bath prior to not being seen to best effect at Beverley subsequently, and has a good record at this track (including a 5f win).

Form: 3-24518

(3)

Blindfold Games^p1,t¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Megan Smith⁽⁷⁾| T: G Boughey| OR: 59

33/1

Maiden who ran her best race on turf when fifth of 14 in a handicap at Yarmouth (7f). She'll probably need to improve for first-time cheekpieces, though, with an inexperienced apprentice taking over.

Form: 243-655

(7)

Cape Toronada¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Matthew Slater| T: A W Carroll| OR: 59| D

9/4

Low-mileage 3-y-o who finished runner-up over C&D before finding some improvement to get off the mark at Brighton, and she may well win again now up and running.

Form: 70-6421

(10)

Beelzebub⁶⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Myla Coppins| T: A W Carroll| OR: 51| D

9/4

Below form on final all-weather start for David Loughnane in mid-April, but he's fallen even further in weights ahead of his first run for a very capable new yard (also saddle Cape Toronada) and warrants a market check.

Form: 764470

(4)

Mademoiselle Belle²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Charlie Tucker⁽⁵⁾| T: M Comley| OR: 56

22/1

Often a slow starter but responded well to cheekpieces when opening account at Newcastle (5f) in February. Below that form on final start for Brian Ellison but is only 1 lb above her winning mark on stable debut.

Form: 359263

(2)

Just King High^t,v1³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Phoebe Edwards⁽⁵⁾| T: R Burdon| OR: 46

16/1

Best effort since joining current yard when fourth of 7 at Southwell (7f) last time and now tried in another change of headgear (visor replaces cheekpieces) in his bid to win a first handicap.

Form: 922894

(11)

Giles Glory^p,t²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Alfie Redman⁽³⁾| T: T Ellis| OR: 52

50/1

Having finished below form both starts for current yard, he's back on his previous winning mark (7f all-weather handicap). Quirky sort far from certain to capitalise, though.

Form: 464456

(1)

Gal¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Hope Regan⁽⁷⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 52

14/1

Lightly-raced filly ran her best race when third on handicap/stable debut at Bath, rallying well having looked rusty after 7 months off, and has claims if building on that under an inexperienced claimer.

Form: 008-3

Forecasts

Beelzebub (9/4), Cape Toronada (9/4), Alashos (5/1), Giant (9/1), Lahina Bay (12/1), Gal (14/1), Just King High (16/1), Nordic Glory (20/1), Mademoiselle Belle (22/1), Blindfold Games (33/1), Giles Glory (50/1)

A case can be made for plenty of these, but CAPE TORONADA is unexposed in the context of such a low-grade handicap and may follow up her Brighton success, while Lahina Bay and Giant could both be worth another chance down in grade.
