I'm Improving¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: A Mullen| T: K Dalgleish

13/8

Ran well when finishing third of seven over 7f at Ayr (good) on debut earlier this month. Shaped as if he'd improve for the experience on that occasion and is one for the shortlist in this.

Form: 3

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn

8/1

Unraced Most Improved colt cost £50,000 at the breeze-up sales in the spring. Dam an unraced half-sister to the useful Tazahum and worth a check in the market here.

Lady Cashmere¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Rowan Scott⁽⁵⁾| T: A C Whillans

Well held in two 6f contests so far. Most recent of those came on the AW at Newcastle earlier this month and others make more appeal here.

Forecasts

I'm Improving (13/8), Ayutthaya (5/2), Buckstopper Kit (7/1), Dr Richard Kimble (15/2), Lisheen Castle (8/1), Unwritten (12/1), French Resistance (33/1), Lady Cashmere (66/1)

I'M IMPROVING belied his inexperienced to finish a close third on debut earlier this month and he can go one better in this novice contest. The selection was slowly away and shaped as if he'd appreciate further on that occasion and is taken to get the better of debutant Buckstopper Kit who is related to a number of useful performers in the US. Of the remainder Ayutthaya catches the eye on paper and he can claim third.
