Lucky Radar

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: B R Millman

9/1

Lucky Vega gelding. Half-brother to 1m winner Apatite and 2-y-o 6f/7f winner Fully Wet. Dam, maiden (stayed 10.5f), half-sister to top-class winner up to 1m Excelebration and very smart winner up to 10.5f Lancaster Bomber. Worth a precautionary market check for clues on debut.

Persian Gate¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A Watson

4/9

Ardad gelding who makes some appeal on paper and offered something to work on once getting the hang of things when 6 lengths fifth of 10 in a Southwell maiden (6f) 2 weeks ago, making late inroads off a slow pace. Open to improvement and claims in an ordinary affair.

Geemann¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Taylor Fisher| T: J Tickle| OR: 53

10/3

Eased in the weights and fared better of late, posting a creditable third in a C&D handicap prior to filling same spot at Windsor 2 weeks ago, outpaced before plugging on final 1f. Worth a try at 7f on that evidence and he looks vulnerable back in maiden company.

Form: 60-0533

Kodicall¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: William Cox| T: J S Moore| OR: 59

12/1

Bred to be speedy and travelled well when second of 6 in 5.7f Bath novice (firm) in July. Shaped similarly and ultimately weakened out of things when fifth at Salisbury (6f) 3 weeks ago and he leaves the impression this trip stretches him.

Forecasts

Persian Gate (4/9), Perola (13/8), Geemann (10/3), Flag Of Nations (8/1), Lucky Radar (9/1), Kodicall (12/1)

PEROLA still needs to confirm himself as effective on turf but the pick of his all-weather exploits suggest he's up to landing a race of this nature and with the return to sprinting a positive back from another break, he could be the answer. Persian Gate rates a likely improver with his debut run under his belt and can provide the chief threat.
