Insomniac⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| OR: 64

6/1

Three quick runs on the AW and now makes handicap debut. Type to do better in this sphere but has been slowly away and shown little to date.

Form: 549

Oceanus¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Shelley Birkett⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 61| D

Consistent level of form on AW and returns to turf now only 1lb higher than last winning mark.

Form: 6-63535

Calm Charm¹⁹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: George Wood⁽³⁾| T: C F Wall| OR: 60

7/1

Struggled to make an impression in three maidens over a mile but bred to appreciate further and could easily leave that form behind now going handicapping. Market should be informative.

Form: 885-

Raven Banner³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: S De Sousa| T: I Furtado| OR: 59| D

13/8

Now 8lb lower than last winning mark in 2016 and looks extremely well handicapped following back to form run. Just her third start for trainer on the rise and should make a bold bid.

Form: 64/00-92

Ravenhoe¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Andrew Breslin⁽⁷⁾| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 59

Kept busy this year with three wins on the AW before disappointing last start. Stays this far but needs to bounce back.

Forecasts

Raven Banner (13/8), Tyrsal (7/2), Oceanus (4/1), Insomniac (6/1), Calm Charm (7/1), Hard Toffee (7/1), Ravenhoe (16/1)

RAVEN BANNER made a big return to form for her new stable and remains significantly below her last winning mark. She should be winning again soon and this looks an excellent opportunity. Tyrsal shouldn't be underestimated back on better ground and can run well at a decent price. Calm Charm looks the type to improve significantly now getting a test of stamina on handicap debut.
