Passing Clouds⁷²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M J Attwater| OR: 48

200/1

Modest long-standing maiden. No appeal in this company.

Form: 3866-50

(10)

Aaddeey

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: S & E Crisford

4/1

New Approach colt. Brother to 7f winner Nabeyla. Dam, 2-y-o 7f/1m winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 1m Red Mist. Newcomer from a good yard who needs keeping an eye on in the betting.

Form:

(4)

Blue Flame²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P Cosgrave| T: S bin Suroor

8/1

Green but offered something to work on when fifth of 11 in novice at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 11/4) on debut 27 days ago. Should progress.

Form: 5

(8)

Galahad Threepwood

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: M R Channon

40/1

Nathaniel gelding. Brother to 8.6f-1½m winner Muraaqeb and half-brother to several winners, including useful winner up to 6f Englishman. Worth a precautionary market check with Tom Marquand booked.

Great Honour

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: S bin Suroor

16/1

190,000 gns Gleneagles gelding. Closely related to useful winner up to 7f Beyond Reason. Dam winner up to 9f (2-y-o 6f winner). One of 2 runners for his stable. Market should guide.

Form:

(7)

John Locke¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 82| BF

8/11

Fairly useful form when placed on all 3 starts. Drop back to 1¼m a help if anything and this may represent a good opportunity for him to get off the mark.

Form: 222

(5)

Lanval

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Watson| T: D Menuisier

12/1

60,000 gns Camelot gelding. Brother to 11f winner Chesapeake Shores and closely related to very smart/ungenuine winner up to 1½m Frozen Fire. In good hands. Another newcomer who needs a betting check.

Form:

(1)

Mumtaaz²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: J & T Gosden

15/2

No better than fair form in his 2 runs but prominent in the betting on each occasion and it's likely his best days are ahead of him for his top stable. Respected.

Form: 47

(9)

One Step Too Far⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: M R Channon

100/1

Twice-raced maiden. Beaten 8 lengths when third of 7 in 1m course novice latterly, the form looking little better than modest. Improvement will be required.

Form: 73

(6)

Opera Gift

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding

33/1

Nathaniel colt. Closely related to useful 1¼m-11.6f winner Opera Gal and 1½m winner Opera Lad and half-brother to 1¾m winner Opera Buff. Dam 8.4f winner. One to note on debut.

Forecasts

John Locke (8/11), Aaddeey (4/1), Mumtaaz (15/2), Blue Flame (8/1), Lanval (12/1), Great Honour (16/1), Opera Gift (33/1), Galahad Threepwood (40/1), One Step Too Far (100/1), Passing Clouds (200/1)

JOHN LOCKE sets a reasonable standard for a race like this and can come good at the fourth time of asking. Mumtaaz and Blue Flame have shown ability and are open to progress, while Aaddeey and Opera Gift are newcomers who need monitoring in the betting.
