Word Of Honour¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: George Downing| T: S Curran

125/1

Well beaten 43L 14th in a 1m2f maiden at Windsor (good-to-firm) on debut last month. Probably best watched dropping back in distance.

Form: 0

(2)

Desert Destination²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: George Wood| T: S bin Suroor

5/2

Shaped as if further would suit when finishing fourth in a 7f novice event at Salisbury (good-to-firm) on debut three weeks ago. One to note for a top yard.

Form: 4

(11)

Freezing

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ryan Tate| T: Debbie Hughes

150/1

Unraced Kingston Hill gelding cost connections €18,000 at the sales as a foal in November 2017. Half-brother to dual winner Heir Of Excitement but he is probably best watched on debut.

(7)

Heart Of A Hunter⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: B Doyle| T: A W Carroll

150/1

Slowly away when beaten 23L in finishing eighth in a 7f maiden at Leicester (good) when making his debut in June. Others hold more obvious claims.

Form: 8

(8)

Rockin' N Raven¹⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: S Kirk

28/1

Stepped up markedly on debut effort when finishing 4L third in a 1m novice event on the all-weather at Kempton in March. Interesting contender on first start on turf.

Form: 7-3

(1)

Tahitian Prince²⁷⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

7/4

Improved effort when finishing runner-up in a 1m maiden on the all-weather at Kempton in October last year. Absent since and a notable runner switched back to turf for his seasonal reappearance.

Form: 72-

(10)

Aljalela²⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S Hitchcott| T: R Hannon

16/1

Fair form in two starts at two including when fifth over 1m in a novice contest at Kempton in November. Likely more needed if he's to take this event on seasonal debut.

Form: 95-

(6)

Kew Palace⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K Shoemark| T: W J Haggas

9/1

Decent effort in finishing 9L eighth in a 1m novice race at Newbury (good) on debut in June but below that form upped to 1m2f at Newmarket (good-to-firm) subsequently. Drop in trip should see her in a better light.

Form: 86

(9)

Sun Tide¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 73

5/2

Good 2L second in a 1m maiden at Kempton in June and finished a decent 4¼L fifth on turf debut at Bath (1m, good-to-firm) subsequently. Interesting runner in this event.

Form: 25

(4)

Trusty Rusty²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L P Keniry| T: R Harris

150/1

Slowly away and finished a well beaten tenth in a 7f Salisbury novice event on good-to-firm ground when debut last month. Others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Tahitian Prince (7/4), Sun Tide (5/2), Desert Destination (5/2), Coppergate Wunder (8/1), Kew Palace (9/1), Aljalela (16/1), Rockin' N Raven (28/1), Word Of Honour (125/1), Trusty Rusty (150/1), Heart Of A Hunter (150/1), Freezing (150/1)

The return to this distance can see the filly SUN TIDE get off the mark at the third time of asking in this maiden contest. The selection represents a top stable and she is taken to get the better of Desert Destination who showed promise on debut earlier this season while third place can go to Tathitian Prince who is making his first start of the campaign.
