|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
(7)  Falaise Blanc |  | |  | | | 2 | Rowan Scott | Katie Scott | 125-1 and never in the hunt in a 7f maiden at Musselburgh a fortnight ago; not easily fancied after that. | ||
(6)  Condotti | | | | | | 2 | Luke Morris | Hugo Palmer | Useful pedigree but he was a remote last of five on his debut at Chester last month (7f, good to soft); should be capable of better at some point. | ||
(10)  Kimeko Glory | | | | | | 2 | Harry Russell | Mark Walford | 15,000gns foal; half-sister to seven winners, three of whom recorded an RPR of 104 or more; dam a useful 1m winner (RPR 101); stable not renowned for winning 2yo newcomers but she certainly appeals on paper. | ||
(9)  Miss Raincloud | | | | | | 2 | Billy Garritty | Tracy Waggott | Nibbled at big odds prior to her Carlisle debut nine weeks ago (7f, good to soft) but she could only manage fifth of the six runners, outpaced in the straight; can do better but such progress is a must. | ||
3rd (5)  Yuvraaj | | | | | | 2 | Marco Ghiani | Marco Botti | $30,000 yearling; first foal of a US 1m dirt winner; makes his debut at a realistic level and he's one to consider. | ||
4th (8)  Made The Cut | | | | | | 2 | Grace McEntee | George Boughey | It didn't look a vintage Newmarket novice in which she finished third on her debut last month (7f, good) and she was well held at the finish; may do better but others have more pressing claims. | ||
(4)  Cameron Can | | | | | | 2 | Andrew Mullen | Charlie Johnston | Didn't offer a great deal of short-term promise when last of 11 at Goodwood 40 days ago (20-1; 7f, good to firm); longer trip should suit but others look safer. | ||
2nd (3)  Bentbasa | | | | | | 2 | Callum Rodriguez | Charlie Fellowes | Yet to land a telling blow in either of his two runs over 7f but he was keeping on in a steadily-run event at Haydock last time; could improve for 1m and he's got each-way claims. | ||
(1)  Bear Kode | | | | | | 2 | Oisin McSweeney | Adrian Paul Keatley | Confirmed the promise of his Carlisle debut (6f) when winning a 7f maiden here in July; down the field in a sales race at the Ebor meeting since; stamina not assured but there is encouragement for it on breeding and the course win does look solid form in the context of this race; big player despite the penalty. | ||
1st (2)  Basalt | | | | | | 2 | Hollie Doyle | Archie Watson | Left behind when the pace increased in a 7f newcomers' event at Deauville four weeks ago; the winner there looks useful and 1m likely to suit on pedigree; more to come. |
A few of these are open to improvement, notably Basalt (second choice), Bentbasa and Condotti, but BEAR KODE's course win in July is solid form and he can concede weight all round.[Paul Smith]

(3)  Reel Her In | | | | | | 4 | Paul Mulrennan | Ben Haslam | Cut little ice in three middle-distance maidens in 2023 but she's shown fair form over hurdles this summer for Gavin Cromwell so can't be ruled out back in this sphere on her handicap/yard debut, especially if the market vibes are positive. | ||
(5)  Oasis Prince | | | | | | 8 | David Allan | Jacqueline Coward | On a long losing run and he was tongue tied when only seventh in 2m1f Pontefract handicap 94 days ago; needs a subsequent wind op to spark a resurgence. | ||
(7)  Perfect Arch | | | | | | 7 | Rhys Elliott | Simon West | Longstanding maiden but he wasn't discredited when fourth of ten in 13f Hamilton handicap eight days ago; possibilities in a change of headgear. | ||
(2)  Myboymax | | | | | | 6 | Aiden Brookes | Micky Hammond | Ended a lengthy losing sequence at Catterick (2m) in August and backed it up with a solid fourth in 2m handicap at Ripon 16 days ago; he can go well again with a visor replacing his usual blinkers. | ||
4th (4)  Scylla | | | | | | 4 | Mikkel Mortensen | Charlie Fellowes | Cheekpieces on when getting off the mark at Lingfield (2m) in July and she followed it with a creditable sixth there 16 days ago; she can make her presence felt off an unchanged mark. | ||
2nd (9)  Grey Nyle | | | | | | 3 | Billy Garritty | Charlie Johnston | Still a maiden but he posted a creditable fourth (in a first-time visor) in 13f Chelmsford handicap 12 days ago; goes up in trip for his Tapeta debut and needs considering. | ||
3rd (6)  Unique Spirit | | | | | | 3 | David Nolan | David O'Meara | Fair maiden but he came in last of seven when tried in cheekpieces in 1m6f Nottingham handicap 23 days ago; visor is reached for now with something to prove. | ||
(8)  Crystal Guard | | | | | | 6 | Mohammed Tabti | Iain Jardine | Course winner who arrives in decent nick, fourth in 1m6f Musselburgh handicap last month; he's one for the shortlist eased 1lb. | ||
1st (1)  Doublethetrouble | | | | | | 6 | Kaiya Fraser | John Butler | Consistent sort who deservedly opened his account in 2m Lingfield apprentices' handicap a week ago; escapes a penalty for that win so he holds excellent claims. |
John Butler's DOUBLETHETROUBLE gained a deserved breakthrough success at Lingfield a week ago and is impossible to side against given he escapes a penalty for that apprentices' victory. In-form Myboymax appeals as the one to chase him home ahead of course winner Crystal Guard and handicap debutant Reel Her In.[Peter Entwistle]

3rd (4)  Elvington | | | | | | 3 | Billy Garritty | Liam Bailey | 40-1, always behind when last of five in maiden at Ripon (1m2f, good) on her debut 17 days ago; this daughter of Time Test needs to take a big step forward. | ||
4th (3)  Delay | | | | | | 3 | Duran Fentiman | Tim Easterby | Postponed filly who advanced her debut form when third of four in 7.5f Beverley maiden 12 days ago; she may do better still. | ||
1st (2)  Countess Candy | | | | | | 3 | David Allan | Conrad Allen | 25-1, made an encouraging start when third of six in maiden at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) 24 days ago; this son of Toronado can take a step forward so must enter calculations. | ||
2nd (1)  Breckenridge | | | | | | 3 | Benoit De La Sayette | Kevin Philippart De Foy | Masar filly who is proving a consistent sort, posting a good second of six in 1m2f Nottingham novice 55 days ago; she holds leading form claims. |
BRECKENRIDGE has some fair form to her name and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to get off the mark. Countess Candy should build on her Yarmouth debut third and appeals as the one to chase home Kevin Philippart de Foy's Masar filly ahead of Delay.[Peter Entwistle]

(9)  Secret Daay | | | | | | 5 | Ben Robinson | David Thompson | 25-race maiden; effective under these conditions and he wasn't beaten far over 7f here when last seen in July; still vulnerable for win purposes though. | ||
4th (10)  Evoluir | | | | | | 3 | Luke Morris | Roger Fell & Sean Murray | Began this season with second-place finishes over C&D and at Wolverhampton; disappointing finishing effort the last twice and needs to bounce back to his best. | ||
3rd (2)  She'sashambles | | | | | | 3 | Rowan Scott | Phillip Makin | She had threatened better prior to her comfortable Thirsk success 13 days ago (6f, good to firm), drawing clear in the closing stages; promise on AW; one for the shortlist. | ||
(4)  Louella | | | | | | 3 | Paul Mulrennan | Alan Brown | 0-16 for her former stable but she has plenty of placed form, including over C&D; this represents a drop in class and her new yard (same owner) try her in a hood; one to consider. | ||
(8)  Lil Wade | | | | | | 4 | Mikkel Mortensen | Scott Dixon | 12-race maiden but there were flickers of promise over the winter and again when second of seven at Wolverhampton last week; in the mix if proving as effective at this track. | ||
(5)  Too Much Too Young | | | | | | 3 | Billy Garritty | Katie Scott | Looked exposed as modest for his former yard but he proved a revelation tried in cheekpieces on his stable debut 15 days ago (7f, good), making the running and finding plenty for pressure; dropping to a stiff 6f shouldn't be an issue and he still has time to do better. | ||
(7)  Variety Island | | | | | | 5 | Ben Sanderson | Simon Whitaker | Narrow win in a 7f handicap at Catterick in April; in and out since but he's a C&D winner and can bounce back from a quiet run at Catterick two weeks ago. | ||
(6)  Sydney Bay | | | | | | 5 | Brandon Wilkie | Geoffrey Harker | Good start for this yard last October, winning two C&D handicaps before a near miss in his hat-trick bid; best run since when third of nine at Thirsk 13 days ago; major player with Brandon Wilkie's claim a bonus. | ||
2nd (1)  Fircombe Hall | | | | | | 6 | Hollie Doyle | Philip Kirby | Six of his eight wins have come over C&D, the latest in June when he comfortably accounted for Evoluir off 1lb lower; wouldn't have won at Wolverhampton last week but he was closing when squeezed out against the rail and still looked in form; return to these conditions will suit. | ||
1st (3)  Missmimi | | | | | | 4 | David Allan | Tina Jackson | 12-race maiden but she comes here on the back of two placed efforts over C&D, travelling strongly last week when finding only a well-treated opponent too strong; this is weaker and she's a major player. |
Not a bad race for the grade with 3yos She'sashambles and Too Much Too Young coming here on the back of a win, Louella starting out for a new yard off a dangerous mark and Sydney Bay another who is handicapped to win. Missmimi can win races at this track but FIRCOMBE HALL has conditions to suit and he may be the answer this time.[Paul Smith]

(6)  Fumbleinthejungle | | | | | | 4 | Sean Kirrane | John David Riches | Poor form in three runs for Mick Channon in May 2022; absent for 841 days and hard to recommend on stable debut. | ||
3rd (8)  Banana | | | | | | 5 | Mikkel Mortensen | Scott Dixon | Consistency an issue and she's still seeking a first win after 30 runs; she ran perfectly well from the front at Wolverhampton last week though but wouldn't be sure to back it up at this more demanding track. | ||
(3)  Batal Dandy | | | | | | 3 | Marco Ghiani | Stuart Williams | 1lb lower than when beating nine rivals at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) in June; not fired in two runs for his new stable but this is weaker and he can't be ruled out. | ||
(10)  Parson's Meadow | | | | | | 3 | Aiden Brookes | Philip Kirby | 0-12 but his last four runs at this trip have all been respectable; showed some aptitude for Tapeta in December; likely vulnerable for win purposes. | ||
4th (1)  Kyber Crystal | | | | | | 5 | Hollie Doyle | Rebecca Menzies | Ended a losing run in good style in a 5f handicap at Musselburgh 16 days ago (well backed; second run after wind surgery); 6lb higher today and she's been unplaced in all 13 runs over further than 5f. | ||
2nd (7)  Alibi Warning | | | | | | 3 | Connor Murtagh | Richard Fahey | Series of solid efforts at a modest level, most recently plugging on for fourth in a stronger race at Southwell 17 days ago; change of headgear today; each-way shout again. | ||
(2)  Angel Pass | | | | | | 3 | Luke Morris | Sir Mark Prescott Bt | No improvement for the switch to handicaps at Southwell 13 days ago (7f; ridden by a 7lb claimer); drops in trip with blinkers fitted and Luke Morris taking over so better could be forthcoming. | ||
(5)  Forever Eighteen | | | | | | 3 | Faye McManoman | Nigel Tinkler | 11-race maiden but his three peak RPRs have come on the three occasions he's raced at this track; 5f looked too sharp last time and he's a leading contender back at this trip. | ||
1st (9)  Tomorrow Day | | | | | | 3 | Tom Kiely-Marshall | Mark Usher | Tried over 1m4f and 1m2f this summer but his form has picked up since dropped back to 6f and 7f on his last two starts; effective on Polytrack but untried on Tapeta. |
Kyber Crystal will be popular after her smooth success at Musselburgh last week but her record over 6f isn't too convincing. Alibi Warning (second choice) can go well but FOREVER EIGHTEEN has reserved his best for this track and this could be the day he sheds his maiden tag.[Paul Smith]

(13)  Yaahobby | | | | | | 5 | Cam Hardie | Antony Brittain | 3-45, the wins coming over sprint trips on Tapeta at Wolverhampton; hard to fancy on the majority of this season's form but he was having his first crack at 7f when a close fourth of seven in a Catterick classified a fortnight ago, and shouldn't be ruled out now back in a handicap. | ||
2nd (2)  Turbo Command | | | | | | 7 | Paul Mulrennan | Alison Hamilton | Won over C&D in March and now just 1lb higher; relative to his usual turf exploits he didn't run badly at Ayr in June and is not ruled out now back on AW for his first outing since. | ||
(14)  Alice's Impact | | | | | | 3 | James Sullivan | John & Sean Quinn | Disappointing in Catterick classified a fortnight ago but in good form in turf handicaps previously and could bounce back; makes AW debut. | ||
(1)  Operation Gimcrack | | | | | | 4 | David Nolan | Bryan Smart | Mixed form in his four-race 3yo campaign and returns from absence today; however, he showed some promise and has had wind surgery since last seen; he was a 160,000gns yearling and is one to watch in the betting. | ||
(7)  Create | | | | | | 4 | Dale Swift | Scott Dixon | Southwell Tapeta winner who runs off the same mark as for her win at Doncaster (7f) in July; however, she hasn't performed at the same level since. | ||
(4)  Souffionne | | | | | | 4 | Brandon Wilkie | Hugo Palmer | Won over C&D last November on his second start; returns from a break and a market check is advised but he struggled on his last three starts and needs to get back on track. | ||
(11)  Noble Consort | | | | | | 3 | Ryan Sexton | Julie Camacho | Made it 0-8 when fifth of 13 at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last time; however, his best performance came when third over this C&D in January and he's now 7lb lower; each-way possibilities now back here. | ||
(10)  Korroor | | | | | | 3 | Tom Kiely-Marshall | Julie Camacho | Won C&D nursery last September and he's dropping back down the weights; however, his claims aren't compelling on this year's evidence and he could do with settling better. | ||
(12)  Polly The Rocket | | | | | | 3 | Archie Young | Craig Lidster | Just one win from her 16 starts but that came over C&D in January and she's now 5lb lower; returned to form when third of 14 over C&D last Tuesday and can be in the mix if backing up that performance. | ||
(6)  Burglar's Dream | | | | | | 4 | David Allan | Tim Easterby | Pops up with the odd good run, such as when second at Pontefract (1m2f) in July, and there is a possibility this drop back to 7f will suit; however, he's inconsistent and remains a maiden after 13 starts. | ||
4th (9)  East Bank | | | | | | 3 | Connor Murtagh | Craig Lidster | Won over C&D in March and runner-up at Musselburgh in May; well handicapped on that form but he's struggled to get competitive subsequently and needs a boost from the first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces). | ||
3rd (3)  Sir Maxi | | | | | | 6 | Billy Garritty | Sam England | Recent form-figures don't make appealing viewing but he ran pretty well over an inadequate 6f on last month's stable debut at Ripon, and soft ground may not have suited at Carlisle subsequently; effective over C&D and no surprise if he runs well off a dangerous mark. | ||
1st (8)  Marianglas | | | | | | 3 | Callum Rodriguez | Edward Bethell | Hasn't threatened in her three handicaps and was slowly away when sixth at Wolverhampton last time (7f, Tapeta; favourite) in first-time blinkers (retained); however, she's lightly raced and her best performance came here in April; could have a bigger run in her at some stage. | ||
(5)  Kitaab | | | | | | 5 | Hollie Doyle | Philip Kirby | Just one win from his 20 starts (on the Southwell Tapeta) but has caught the eye running on over 5f/6f on turf on his three starts for this yard, and today's return to 7f could be just what he needs; can be thereabouts. |
C&D winner SIR MAXI (nap) has had excuses on his first two runs for Sam England and is taken to exploit a reduced mark. The step back up in trip could be ideal for Kitaab and he may be the chief danger under Hollie Doyle, while things may yet click for the lightly raced 3yo Marianglas.[Ben Hutton]

(8)  Heavenly Fire | | | | | | 3 | Hollie Doyle | Scott Dixon | 0-10; has shown sufficient to suggest that, if somewhere near her best, she can have a say but she'll need to be better behaved than she was at Wolverhampton latest. | ||
(14)  Struck Gold | | | | | | 4 | Cam Hardie | John Butler | Polytrack and Tapeta winner at around 1m; below par on both AW and turf on his last three starts; others preferred. | ||
(2)  Catrake Force | | | | | | 4 | Oliver Stammers | Grant Tuer | Best effort so far was when second on debut in a Wolverhampton maiden (9.5f, Tapeta) last November; wasn't disgraced back over that C&D on handicap debut when last seen in January; check for any market confidence but she's likely to need improvement. | ||
(7)  Whatwouldyouknow | | | | | | 9 | Faye McManoman | Nigel Tinkler | Triple C&D winner; strung together some consistent efforts in defeat on turf during the summer and had an excuse when badly hampered at Beverley latest; not ruled out if transferring that general form profile back to this track. | ||
1st (10)  Game Management | | | | | | 3 | Oisin McSweeney | Kevin Ryan | Placed in a Thirsk novice event (7f, good) this time last year but has been unable to get to grips with what the handicapper has been asking of him; returns from wind surgery with plenty to prove. | ||
(11)  Sneaky Girl | | | | | | 3 | Marco Ghiani | Marco Botti | Not devoid of promise on debut in a 7f maiden here in March but has not delivered on that since; headgear now goes on. | ||
| (5) Arranmore | | | | | | 7 | Aiden Brookes | Micky Hammond | Four-time turf winner at up to 1m; 0-9 on AW (placed here over 7f); hasn't been too far away on his last two turf starts at Ripon (both 1m2f on a sound surface); drops another 1lb but more needed. | ||
4th (12)  Masterpainter | | | | | | 4 | Rhys Elliott | Michael Dods | 1m turf winner who has twice been placed over C&D; 8lb lower than when going close here in February but has been well below that level since. | ||
3rd (13)  Mr Heinz | | | | | | 5 | Ben Sanderson | Simon Whitaker | Dual C&D winner, including his latest start, when coming from the rear; held his form reasonably well for a spell last autumn, so now he's back in the groove he could still have each-way claims, despite a 5lb penalty. | ||
(6)  Barleybrown | | | | | | 4 | James Sullivan | Ruth Carr | Dual C&D winner who is 4lb higher than the latter success, in July; has been consistent in two subsequent defeats; should again be in the mix. | ||
(9)  Triple Force | | | | | | 3 | Billy Garritty | Craig Lidster | Unplaced in first six starts but down to a more competitive mark now and his form suggests he has each-way claims, having run a sound race when third over C&D on Tuesday (first-time hood, retained). | ||
(3)  No Saint | | | | | | 4 | Paul Mulrennan | Sam England | 7f Polytrack winner; claims if he could return to the form of his last AW run at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last December but has a bit to prove if his turf form since then is any guide. | ||
(4)  Armoured | | | | | | 5 | Luke Morris | Roger Fell & Sean Murray | C&D winner in January, when 3lb higher; handicapper has had his measure since then; handy mark now but hasn't recently looked like taking his opportunities. | ||
2nd (1)  L'Argent | | | | | | 4 | Frederick Larson | Michael Appleby | 14-race maiden; best British effort came here in February, when 2l second over C&D; that form would probably be good enough to win this but he's not been as good since on either turf or AW; still entitled to each-way claims after another 2lb drop. |
Not a whole lot to enthuse about in this and the recent consistency of C&D winner BARLEYBROWN could gain some reward with another success. Mr Heinz will be on shortlists after winning last time but he'll have to improve on what we've seen to defy a 5lb rise. Whatwouldyouknow and L'Argent are others who could come into it.[Jonathan Doidge]

(11)  Sally Anne's Dream | | | | | | 3 | Andrew Breslin | Simon Whitaker | Poor form in her five starts, recording a peak RPR of 30; no appeal. | ||
(3)  Restless Prince | | | | | | 3 | Sam Feilden | K R Burke | Won a weak Catterick novice in April (5f, soft); only one effort of note in handicaps since but perhaps significant it came over C&D; now 10lb lower and cheekpieces could give him a lift; not discounted. | ||
(4)  Sacred Melody | | | | | | 3 | James Sullivan | Ruth Carr | No better than midfield in three runs for E Lynam in Ireland; makes her handicap/stable debut with something to prove. | ||
(1)  Callianassa | | | | | | 3 | Ben Robinson | Brian Ellison | 0-12 but she's well treated on her 2yo best; low-key return to action at Beverley 12 days ago but this is a drop in class and she's fully effective on AW; worth a market check with her yard going well. | ||
(7)  Sergeant Mayer | | | | | | 3 | Faye McManoman | Nigel Tinkler | Nottingham win last month was followed by a luckless effort at Beverley; form dipped over 6f here last week though and a tongue-tie is now given a go. | ||
1st (9)  Blue Force | | | | | | 3 | Cam Hardie | Antony Brittain | Unexposed maiden; solid run behind an unexposed rival at Southwell 17 days ago (6f); drop back to 5f should be fine and he's capable of better. | ||
3rd (10)  Lady Of The Garr | | | | | | 3 | Luke Morris | Tracy Waggott | 0-14 and can thrown in the odd duff run but she has offered hope she could win races, including when second of 12 at Redcar 19 days ago (6f, good to firm); each-way shout. | ||
(6)  La Boo | | | | | | 3 | Billy Garritty | Michael & David Easterby | Yet to win and the handicapper has been in command since April; more realistic mark now but others make more appeal for win purposes. | ||
2nd (8)  Dandy Fitz | | | | | | 3 | Duran Fentiman | Tim Easterby | Turf winner in May; taken well to Tapeta, winning at Southwell before finishing second of 11 back at that track last week; 1lb well in but he's not the only pace influence on show. | ||
(2)  Cuban Storm | | | | | | 3 | Paul Mulrennan | Michael Dods | Wouldn't score heavily for consistency but his two best efforts, namely a second over 6f here and a 5f win at Redcar, bring him into the reckoning; Paul Mulrennan on board for his return to action; check betting. | ||
4th (5)  Dc Flyer | | | | | | 3 | Hollie Doyle | Kevin Ryan | He has improved for the addition of cheekpieces this summer, winning over C&D and recording a better RPR when second here last week; other front-runners in this field but he's a key player. |
Dc Flyer and Dandy Fitz have taken well to Tapeta in recent weeks and remain of interest but there are a few in here who like to get on with it and it could set up for something coming frm off the pace. Lady Of The Garr (second choice) and Blue Force are considered but it might be worth taking a chance on CALLIANASSA. Brian Ellison's string are in fine form and this filly should be sharper with a recent run behind her. She's on a dangerous mark on her 2yo form and this represents a drop in class.[Paul Smith]

(7)  Borough | | | | | | 4 | Jonny Peate | Iain Jardine | Barely beaten a rival in 2024; tumbled down the weights and blinkers are now given a go (has worn cheekpieces the last twice); capable but too risky for comfort; often slowly away. | ||
2nd (6)  Rogue De Vega | | | | | | 4 | Cam Hardie | Antony Brittain | Didn't run badly at Wolverhampton last month but he's followed that with two lacklustre efforts; should be well treated but hard to predict and dropping back to 5f isn't sure to suit. | ||
(1)  Willingly | | | | | | 7 | Tom Kiely-Marshall | Mark Usher | Mudlark with six turf wins to her name; the handicapper has been in command this season but she retains ability and this represents a drop in class; this her first AW outing since October 2021. | ||
1st (3)  Golden Rainbow | | | | | | 5 | Kaiya Fraser | Rebecca Menzies | Conditions fine and he's now just 1lb higher than for a Carlisle win in July; had excuses at Ripon on his penultimate start and 6f here probably too much of a test last time; one for the shortlist. | ||
4th (8)  King Of The Jungle | | | | | | 4 | Lewis Chalkley | Michael & David Easterby | Won twice over C&D around the turn of the year and he added a Catterick handicap to his tally in April; gone off the boil more recently but no surprise to see a revival back on AW. | ||
(5)  Holbache | | | | | | 6 | Ryan Sexton | Julie Camacho | Off the mark for his new yard with a front-running Pontefract success in July; soft ground shouldn't have been an issue when fourth of five at Hamilton last time; back down in class and capable of a bold bid. | ||
(2)  Howzak | | | | | | 6 | Billy Garritty | Liam Bailey | Five AW wins on Polytrack; in good form at Chepstow this summer for Deborah Faulkner prior to changing hands for 8,500gns last month; drops back in class and he's one to consider. | ||
3rd (4)  Exceed | | | | | | 4 | Rowan Scott | Nigel Tinkler | Chased home Golden Rainbow at Carlisle in July and he's 1lb worse off with that rival today; he's run well since, including a Yarmouth win, but more will be needed to come out on top; cheekpieces are now given a go. |
Golden Rainbow and Exceed have something to recommend them but the pair to focus on could be Howzak and KING OF THE JUNGLE. The selection has gone quiet on turf of late but a seven-week break could have freshened him up and he was quietly progressive here last winter.[Paul Smith]
