Canny Style²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 71| D

11/1

Has handled cut in the ground in wins at Catterick and Musselburgh this year and ran a respectable race on quicker ground on her latest start. Now back over a 3f shorter trip off the same mark she is worthy of consideration here.

Form: 325113

Thorntoun Care^p²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Jamie Gormley⁽⁷⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 70| D

15/2

Very consistent of late and looks to be on the top of his game in recent months travelling strongly for the most past in all his contests. Just edged out of things over C&D last time out and likely to give his running and go close here.

Form: 124122

Omotesando^p⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Charlie Bennett⁽³⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 67| BF| CD

8/1

Took advantage of a much reduced mark when scoring over C&D on his penultimate start gaining a reward for his consistency. The 5lb rise for that win requires a little more progress although he will appreciate a return to this trip (looked short of pace last time).

Count Simon²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 72

3/1

Got the run of the race back in maiden company last time and looks to need further rather than a drop back to this trip. Fails to do anything quickly and the chances are that even in these conditions he'll find one or two too quick.

Form: 422433

Golden Set²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: George Wood⁽³⁾| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 70

20/1

Now moves into handicaps having shown plenty of ability in maidens over staying trip all on good to soft. Still shapes as though she has more improvement in her and now makes her handicap debit with this sphere giving her a good chance of breaking her maiden.

Form: 603

Regal Mirage⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 68| BF| D

4/1

Progressed rapidly and with a vengeance when winning four handicaps in a period of five weeks in the summer. May well have needed a break when that winning run came to a halt and should be fresher now on ground that he handles.

Form: 311115

(8)

Leapt^h¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 67| BF

9/1

Has looked an awkward ride (takes a strong hold) and looks one to treat with caution given that demeanour. Drops down considerably in trip now and his overall profile is unconvincing and others are much preferred.

Form: 7-75244

(3)

Paddy's Rock¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: J Fanning| T: Miss L C Siddall| OR: 59| D

17/2

His one win this season came a little out of the blue but that merely underlined what an inconsistent sort he is. Failed to win since then (has run with credit a couple of times) but ran a very moody race last time and best watched for now.

Form: 585224

(2)

Eyreborn¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: P J McDonald| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 64

10/1

There are a couple of runs for this stable that would make her of interest although she does look a hard ride and it's a surprise not to see some headgear applied (has worn a hood). Ran poorly last time and does need to bounce back here.

Form: 0-42525

Forecasts

Count Simon (3/1), Regal Mirage (4/1), Thorntoun Care (15/2), Omotesando (8/1), Paddy's Rock (17/2), Leapt (9/1), Eyreborn (10/1), Canny Style (11/1), Golden Set (20/1)

Quite a few her that a cogent case can be made for and it’s a competitive opener to the card. THORNTOUN CARE has proved in good form of late and the ground will hold no fears and he holds good claims as does Canny Style who will appreciate a move back to a softer surface. Omotesando should appreciate this trip and enters the equation while handicap debutante Golden Set is worth watching in the market and may well attract some interest. Regal Mirage should have benefitted from a break and is another who should be considered in an open first race on the card.
