Fair maiden. Gelded prior to finishing sixth of 9 on handicap debut/return at Yarmouth (1¼m), only matching his previous form despite enjoying the run of the race.
|
Sea The Moon gelding. Flattered by his proximity to very promising winner on qualifying run at Newmarket (1¼m). Opening mark has suffered as a result, though he should at least appreciate the longer trip.
|
115,000 gns Zarak gelding. Hood/strong early pace likely contributed to much-improved success at Goodwood last time (second past the post but subsequently promoted). Interesting off only 3 lb higher in a weak handicap, even if the run of the race is less favourable.
|
Stoutly-bred Wootton Bassett filly. Showed promise in maiden/novice events over shorter. Never placed to justify support on handicap debut at Windsor (11.4f), and she's probably worth another chance with good-value claimer taking over.
|
Found only one too good for the third successive start when worn down by a stronger stayer at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft) last time. Has been found a thin race up in grade, and he's entitled to go close again.

Forecasts
Celestarak (1/1), Darkest Red (7/2), Zurna (9/2), Society Girl (15/2), Tai Hang Pegasus (9/1)
CELESTARAK may defy a 3 lb rise for his breakthrough Goodwood success. Darkest Red is knocking on the door and should again be in the mix, while Society Girl is better than she could show at Windsor last time.
- Celestarak1/1
