Selected odds by:
Stable debut and only his second outing when sixth of nine, not beaten too far, at Lingfield last month. Seems to be going the right way, but looks one for handicaps further down the line.
Beaten a long way on both starts over 7f at this track. Cannot be considered until showing considerably more.
Out the back on both starts at Nottingham and this venue. May do better in time, particularly when competing in handicaps.
Redback gelding who has been sold cheaply twice. Tailed-off last of 10 at Kempton on only start so far and needs to do much better.
Definite signs of ability on all three starts, latterly in a Listed contest in France in July. Has had a break and been gelded, but his form gives him sound claims in a weak race.
Better of two runs at this track when fourth of 11 over 7f last week. May find more improvement over this longer trip.
By Helmet out of a 1m½f AW winner, he went unsold as a yearling. Good third in a Kempton maiden on debut and normal improvement would put him firmly in the mix.
Winning hurdler who makes her Flat debut at the age of seven. Likely to find things happening all too quickly.
Solid efforts to finish second on her last two starts, one of them over C&D. Looks to have been found a good opportunity to shed her maiden tag.
Leroidesanimaux filly who is a half-sister to a 6f-7f winner and a bumper and hurdles scorer. Beaten a long way and well in arrears of Simple Thought on debut at Kempton. May do better this time.
Forecasts
Mount Ararat (10/11), Simple Thought (13/8), Tofan (7/1), My Town Chicago (20/1), Cosmic Landscape (25/1), Tappity Tap (50/1), Flight To Nowhere (66/1), Ice Cool Cullis (100/1), Interrogation (100/1), Hellofagame (100/1)
Several of these will have stronger prospects when handicapping so the three to concentrate on are Mount Ararat, who is returning from a break, the once-raced Tofan and SIMPLE THOUGHT. The selection has run well to finish second on her last two starts and this looks a good opportunity for her to go one better.
- Simple Thought
- Mount Ararat
