Amorim^t²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 87| BF

13/8

Bolted up in 6f Windsor novice last June. Progress stalled after but he reacted well to a first-time blinkers and tongue tie combination when third of 10 in 6f Windsor handicap 25 days ago. Only the tongue tie remains now returning to 7f.

Form: 1348-03

Marengo Storm³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 83| BF

9/4

Confirmed debut promise when a smooth winner of 6f Kempton maiden in May. Good second of 14 on 6f Windsor handicap debut 5 weeks ago. Short-priced favourite when withdrawn after refusing to enter stalls on an intended outing at Kempton since. First attempt at 7f. The one to beat if behaving himself.

Form: 512

Hardy's Hero⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 81| BF

6/4

Dual winner last term. Reappeared with a good second of 13 to Startled in 7f handicap on the Rowley course here in April. Only a respectable third when sent off at 5/4 at Lingfield 7 weeks ago but a position furthest away from the rail may not have helped. Remains of interest in handicaps.

Form: 7115-23

Forecasts

Hardy's Hero (6/4), Amorim (13/8), Marengo Storm (9/4)

If MARENGO STORM doesn't give any issues at the start this time he's probably the one to beat as his first 3 outings suggest he has the makings of a useful handicapper.
