Iconic Belle⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Nicola Currie⁽⁵⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 67| D

4/1

Bounced back to form with a career-best display when winning at Yarmouth (1m2f, firm) and followed that up with an equally sound effort under a penalty at Chepstow. Will continue to run well but maybe vulnerable to better treated sorts off this mark.

Form: 346512

Zephyros²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Poppy Bridgwater⁽⁷⁾| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 65| D

14/1

Gained a long awaited win in the AW over this trip a couple of starts back in a weak contest although he did have to overcome the run of the race. Nowhere near the same sort of form back on turf last time when left poorly placed.

Form: 3-26124

Woody Bay²²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: D C Costello| T: M Walford| OR: 65| C

16/1

Course winner although it's getting on for two years since he last won (off a mark of 78). Well weighted now on his old form and drops in grade but went backwards from his debut this year and has to show more here.

Form: 6738-36

Fisher Green³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 65

4/1

A winner over 7f when with Michael Dods he was well supported on his return from an absence/stable debut at Doncaster (7f, soft). That race developed away from him and he ran with promise; failed to back that up (quick return). Still of interest.

Form: 9588/50

Channel Packet¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: R Winston| T: M Appleby| OR: 64

7/1

Yet to win a race but showed that there was some ability there over 1m here earlier in the month off a 3lb lower mark. Finished last of five on his only previous try at this trip but appears in better form now and not written off.

Form: 5894-82

(11)

Demophon¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: S Flook| OR: 64

12/1

Four-year-old who has just recorded his first three starts (shown some ability) and now makes his handicap debut stepping back in trip. Not badly treated on one dubious piece of form although that did come over 2f further. Market positives needed.

Form: 837

(3)

Torch^p,t⁹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: A Kirby| T: J Butler| OR: 63| C

14/1

From a yard where the market is always a good indicator but essentially has looked rather limited so far. Can often be slow away and look awkward/lazy in his races he is a previous course winner in a 1m maiden (only win).

Form: 790-053

(1)

Time To Sea³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: L P Keniry| T: J Butler| OR: 62

5/2

One of three runners for the trainer in this and he shaped well enough last time after 7 months off. Keen after a break he ran close to a strong pace (made effort too soon) but looked to retain some ability; still to win a race (note a market move).

Form: 53334-7

Ruby Gates⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Tim Clark⁽³⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 61

33/1

Formerly trained in Ireland she was an AW winner there over 1m4f but has never been given an adequate test of stamina in four runs for this yard. This trip still looks on the short side for her and a greater test is needed to see her at her best.

Form: 77-9606

(14)

Famous Dynasty¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Josephine Gordon| T: M Blanshard| OR: 59

14/1

Did well to finally win a handicap on the AW (1m4f) at Kempton coming from well off the pace (only a modest affair). Looked to have scope off that mark (55) and he's only 4lb higher here having held his form well; has a race like this in him.

Form: 412635

(12)

Prosecute²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: George Wood⁽³⁾| T: S Regan| OR: 52| D

33/1

Fair handicapper at one point (won off 72) but looks to have rather lost his way since that victory. Now makes his second start for this yard having run poorly on his initial effort for them and doesn't look one to be interested in.

Form: 0/8700-0

(4)

Mistress Viz^p1⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: Noel Garbutt⁽³⁾| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 45

50/1

Cheekpieces go on for the first time but she looks a fairly modest sort. Ran well enough on her seasonal reappearance (2m) but has fared no better since then over a variety of trips and this looks on the short side.

Form: 9-50908

(15)

Coachella²⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: David Egan⁽³⁾| T: E De Giles| OR: 45

33/1

On her form so far this trip is going to prove beyond her and what little form she has is from much shorter trips. Not one to be interested in despite the yard showing a lot more of late.

Forecasts

Time To Sea (5/2), Fisher Green (4/1), Iconic Belle (4/1), Channel Packet (7/1), Fanfair (10/1), Demophon (12/1), Famous Dynasty (14/1), Zephyros (14/1), Torch (14/1), My Brother Mike (14/1), Woody Bay (16/1), Prosecute (33/1), Ruby Gates (33/1), Coachella (33/1), Mistress Viz (50/1)

Competitive enough with Famous Dynasty one of the more likely types in this having held his form well since his last win and his latest outing may have come a little too quickly. Iconic Belle has been in good form as has her stable and she is another to enter the mix with any market moves for Time To Sea worth noting particularly given his connections. FISHER GREEN given the market support on his debut was expected to do better than he did although that race didn’t really pan out for him and his follow-up run the next day was just too much for him. Now back from a short break he should be able to show something like his old form for a very capable yard.
