One Night In Milan^t⁸⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Billy Garritty⁽³⁾| T: K Dalgleish| CWS

18/1

Useful handicap hurdler, though he did stop pretty quickly when asked for his effort at Aintree (24.6f) in April. Undergone wind op since and percentage call to look elsewhere making Flat debut.

Form:

(2)

Victory Star

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: A Elliott| T: C & M Johnston

9/2

Night of Thunder gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 8.3f-1½m winner (stayed 2½m) Sheikhzayedroad. Makes plenty of appeal on paper and interesting if strong in betting on debut.

Form:

(3)

Zamarkhan²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: P Mulrennan| T: A M Thomson

66/1

Modest winning handicap hurdler who hit runners-up spot in handicaps at Sedgefield/Perth and closing when falling 3 out at Southwell (15.8f) thereafter. However, likely has work cut out on Flat bow.

Form:

(1)

Hard To Fault^t²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby

4/1

Twice-raced colt. 12/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, second of 11 in maiden at Catterick (12.1f, good to firm) 29 days ago, just failing. Rates a likely player with prospect of more to come.

Form: 42

(5)

Praiano²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: E J Walsh| T: R Varian

8/13

500,000 gns yearling, Dubawi colt. Promising sort. 9/2, second of 10 in maiden at Doncaster (11.9f, firm) 20 days ago, staying on well. That ought not to prove his limit and he's high on shortlist.

Form: 62

(4)

Uccello⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Harrison Shaw| T: K R Burke

25/1

Twice-raced gelding. Tenth of 11 in minor event at Newcastle (10.2f, 50/1) 64 days ago. Handicaps may be more his bag in due course.

Form: 00

(7)

Graces Quest¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine

50/1

Telescope filly. 100/1, fifth of 7 in maiden at Haydock (11.6f, good to firm) on debut 14 days ago.

Form: 5

(6)

Oscillates³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey

14/1

70,000 gns Golden Horn filly. Last of 4 in minor event (14/1) at Ripon (10.9f, good) on debut 31 days ago, looking in need of the experience and not knocked about. May well do better.

Form: 4

Forecasts

Praiano (8/13), Hard To Fault (4/1), Victory Star (9/2), Oscillates (14/1), Adrastus (16/1), One Night In Milan (18/1), Uccello (25/1), Graces Quest (50/1), Zamarkhan (66/1)

PRAIANO left his debut form in his wake when runner-up in a Doncaster maiden (11.9f) 3 weeks ago, noted staying on well. A very well-related individual, he's the type to go on improving and earns the vote to get off the mark. Fellow 3-y-o Hard To Fault rates the lead threat on the back of his Catterick second 4 weeks ago. Newcomer Victory Star is also worth a second look.
