(5)

Midnight Man²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Jordan Vaughan⁽³⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 62

8/1

Still a maiden after eight starts (excuses last time as he reportedly finished lame) but overall profile suggests he has a stiff test ahead under topweight. Also a bit to prove over the trip.

Form: 4440-35

(9)

Orithia^t³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: S W Kelly| T: S Durack| OR: 61

11/4

Five starts in handicaps have yielded a couple of placed efforts and she looks capable of finding a race before too long. Unexposed at the trip and worth a check in the betting at least. Form on turf doesn't quite match up to her AW appreances though.

Form: 723-524

(1)

Take A Turn¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: T P Queally| T: D R Lanigan| OR: 60

10/1

May have needed the run on seasonal debut latest; more required but unexposed in handicaps and may do better now he has the benefit of a recent outing behind him. The betting will be helpful where he is concerned.

Form: 967-7

(8)

Russian Regard²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Renato Souza| T: J G Portman| OR: 60

11/1

Only fair efforts of late; may do better now dropped in trip though but breeding suggest a little give underfoot wouldn't go amiss.

Form: 006-49

(2)

Kitsey²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 60

14/1

Form this season has holes to be picked and she needs to actually copes with this trip. She is stoutly bred, so very feasible she may do better when her stamina is put under a bit more scrutiny.

Form: 655-00

(4)

Born To Reason⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Ryan Powell| T: K Frost| OR: 59

7/1

Made his handicap/turf debut at Nottingham last time out. Form only modest and a lot more now required. May be significant the tongue tie is dispensed with this time around. Others look more convincing.

Form: 44469

(3)

Broughtons Admiral¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P Cosgrave| T: H Spiller| OR: 55

20/1

Not much to show from four outings on the AW - upped in trip latest and still came up short of the mark. Hard to fancy on the evidence available to hand.

Form: 700-9

(7)

King Kevin^v⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: M Harley| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 53| BF

4/1

Headed the betting market in an open handicap last time out a Brighton; not disgraced in defeat and may do better now he has experience of racing in a visor. One to keep close tabs on when the betting starts to warm up.

Form: 0006

(6)

Hold Me Tight¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Liam Jones| T: J S Moore| OR: 53

16/1

Already had 11 starts and limitations are clear. Possible he prefers the AW surface at this course and a leap of faith required in supporting him over a trip that appears to stretch him to the limit.

Form: 035377

(10)

Toolatetodelegate³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Racheal Kneller⁽⁵⁾| T: B Barr| OR: 52

33/1

Modest form in maidens and two previous attempts in handicap company. Needs to significantly improve for the step up in trip and likely others will be better suited.

Form: 64390

(12)

Pentito Rap²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: S Hitchcott| T: B R Millman| OR: 46

6/1

Left Sir Mark Prescott after three runs over an inadequate trip in maidens. Subsequent switch to handicapping has brought about a little bit of improvement and not out of this by any stretch. Interesting if supported.

Form: 963-657

(11)

Joy²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: George Wood⁽³⁾| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 45

33/1

Yet to even hint at being being placed and huge amount of improvement needed now she steps up from 7f. Turf debut was also poor and not too difficult to leave out of this equation.

Form: 6080

Forecasts

Orithia (11/4), King Kevin (4/1), Pentito Rap (6/1), Born To Reason (7/1), Midnight Man (8/1), Take A Turn (10/1), Russian Regard (11/1), Kitsey (14/1), Hold Me Tight (16/1), Dragonite (16/1), Broughtons Admiral (20/1), Joy (33/1), Toolatetodelegate (33/1)

Likely to be an active betting market and moves for any of: Take A Turn, Pentito Rap and Orithia may be costly to ignore. However, KING KEVIN especially caught the eye in defeat earlier in the week and the fact he was well supported on the day does suggest he has plenty to offer. The quick reappearance is taken as a significant hint that compensation for those who waded in at Brigton may be forthcoming.
