Teqany¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 71

11/4

Quite a free racer and this mile may well stretch his stamina if he races like that again here. Showed improved form last time out despite not being that well placed in the race but this increased trip may just prove beyond him.

Form: 35-666

(8)

Iron Islands^v²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: C Lee⁽⁵⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 69

7/1

His one run in a handicap so far showed little promise even allowing for the fact that he may have needed the run and the ground was a firmer than he had previously encountered. Not discredited in a French claimer last time (stiff task) and he may well enjoy the softer surface here on his second try in a handicap.

Form: 446-80

Finale¹²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: George Wood⁽³⁾| T: H Morrison| OR: 67

17/2

The one handicap debutante in the field she had shown some promise on her second start and Fibresand debut over a mile but failed to follow that up last time. Returns after a break here on a very different surface and may be best watched for now.

Form: 623

(7)

Mama Africa¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: J P Sullivan| T: T D Barron| OR: 66

4/1

Still a maiden and has had plenty of chances in handicaps off marks similar to this one (66). Probably capable of winning off it though if everything goes her way but a good gallop would be best for her as she can race a little freely.

Form: 455225

Golconda Prince²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: P Mathers| T: R A Fahey| OR: 64

2/1

Like a few in this field he's had a few goes at handicaps without getting his head in front and remains a maiden. His profile is solid enough and he will handle any softening of the ground but will remain vulnerable to anything progressive.

Form: 334-342

(6)

Hellomoto^p⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Joey Haynes| T: K A Ryan| OR: 60

14/1

Stable are just getting back up and running and there were aspects of his handicap debut second that should give him something to build on without going overboard. No form on ground with cut in it though and there would be others here that would make more appeal.

Form: 860-2

(9)

Jupiter Ascending^t¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Robbie Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 45

80/1

Has shown very little in five runs so far pulling hard on the two starts in handicaps and on what he's shown so far he's of little interest here.

Form: 079-80

Forecasts

Golconda Prince (2/1), Teqany (11/4), Excel Again (7/2), Mama Africa (4/1), Glendun (4/1), Iron Islands (7/1), Finale (17/2), Hellomoto (14/1), Santafiora (16/1), Jupiter Ascending (80/1)

This had looked a strong heat but with a couple of non-runners already it may not be as strong as first thought. Excel Again still has some potential although maybe hasn’t made as much progress as he was first thought to have and off top weight on this ground may look a little vulnerable. Mama Africa needs to settle better but would look to have a chance if there is a decent gallop here and Teqany is of similar ilk. In the end it may well pay to give GOLCONDA PRINCE another chance with a couple of the progressive types missing and he’ll certainly handle any worsening of the ground.
