Tipperary Jack^v1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Kieren Fox| T: J R Best| OR: 81| C

3/1

Well supported winner of a 7f novice here on second start looking well suited by the surface (has a dirt pedigree). Left the impression he could have been seen to better effect over same trip (handicap debut); up to 1m with a visor now used.

Form: 5148

Renegade Master⁶⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: P Cosgrave| T: George Baker| OR: 81| D

8/1

Scored twice at Lingfield in January (1m/1m2f); the second time win coming on handicap debut (possibly should have won easier than he did). Returned from a break to produce two poor turf performances; possible an AW return will restore confidence.

Form: 72-1107

Mums Hope³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Oisin Murphy| T: H Morrison| OR: 77| BF| C

6/4

Course winner over 7f on her final 2yo start but hasn't quite progressed as hoped in handicaps this year. Two placed efforts on quick turf of late have given some hope for the future; still relatively unexposed, a return here may produce extra.

Form: 21-5523

Fares Poet^h¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S W Kelly| T: M Botti| OR: 76| BF

6/1

Two runner-up slots when positively ridden on the AW (one over C&D) earlier in the year (wore hood both times) hinted he may be able to cope with this mark. Not disgraced last time; hood returns, capable of bouncing back over this C&D.

Form: 34-6227

City Tour²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: Mrs L Richards| OR: 73

33/1

Winner on handicap debut for Mark Johnston at Musselburgh (7f, good/firm), failed to build on that run twice off a 3lb higher mark. Sold for £30,000 his first run for his new yard was underwhelming; now tries the AW for the first time; lots to prove.

Form: 54-1546

Image Of The Moon^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Cieren Fallon⁽⁵⁾| T: S L Keightley| OR: 73| CD

4/1

Finally gained some reward for this year's consistent efforts with a C&D win last time (well positioned throughout). Up 4lb she showed a good attitude to hold off the favourite; handicap record reads 223261; should make her presence felt again.

Form: 223261

Forecasts

Mums Hope (6/4), Mutasaamy (6/4), Tipperary Jack (3/1), Image Of The Moon (4/1), Fares Poet (6/1), Renegade Master (8/1), City Tour (33/1)

A few of these have been running well and it should prove a competitive contest although the absence of Mutasaamy is a blow. Image Of The Moon won over C&D last time but this is a rise in class and despite some consistent work she will have to improve to follow up. TIPPERARY JACK looks the sort to make a deeper impression in handicaps and despite finishing last on his debut in this sphere over 7f here last time he was only beaten 3L overall. A return to this venue may well boost the fortunes of Mums Hope who still looks as though she has some progress to come and Fares Poet who ought to appreciate a return to more positive tactics with a hood back on.
