My Old Mate⁸^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Jude Fernandes⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 59| D

10/11

Steadily progressive son of Wootton Bassett who gained compensation for a near miss over 1m at Windsor in June with a pair of victories over that C&D in recent weeks. Penalty to carry but he landed the odds readily 8 days ago and he'll take some stopping.

Form: 0-98211

Venturing¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: William Cox| T: A W Carroll| OR: 60

150/1

Little in the way of promise after 5 starts.

Form: 79-448

Perfect Ruler⁹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Marco Ghiani| T: M Botti| OR: 60| BF

11/4

Showed more than on debut when fourth in a Doncaster maiden in November. Below market expectations on return when last of 5 at Thirsk (7f) in May but shaped with a more promise when fifth at Redcar (denied a clear run). Could be more to come at 1m now switched to the all-weather for new yard.

Form: 54-55

Grey Sands^p,t⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Alfie Redman⁽⁷⁾| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 57| D

9/1

Acquired for 28,000 gns on the back of handicap debut success at Southwell (1m) for Joseph O'Brien in January. Posted a fair second next time and having appeared to want for stamina when last of 7 over 11.5f, he was left with a lot to do back over 1m last time.

Form: 7-21375

Ten Cuidado⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Finley Marsh| T: M D I Usher| OR: 56

80/1

Only one worthwhile effort to his name, failing to see out 1m on return from 6 months off 41 days ago.

Form: 0470-0

Henfield^p³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: K Jewell| OR: 51| CD

9/2

Much more like it fitted with cheekpieces over this C&D last month, opening her account in classified company despite hanging badly left. More to do back in a handicap but she's clearly in good order.

Form: 80-9821

Ernie Mccrew¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Moore| OR: 49

25/1

Struggling to make a telling impact in handicaps.

My Old Mate (10/11), Perfect Ruler (11/4), Henfield (9/2), Grey Sands (9/1), Ernie Mccrew (25/1), Ten Cuidado (80/1), Venturing (150/1)

MY OLD MATE landed the odds with a fair amount up his sleeve at Windsor a week ago and assuming he's as effective on the all-weather, the hat-trick beckons. Perfect Ruler has left a leading stable but joined another very capable one and she may offer most resistance.
