Dulla Bhatti⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Dods| D

6/1

Iffraaj gelding who left debut effort in his wake when landing 9-runner minor event at Hamilton (6f) 41 days ago, well on top finish. That wasn't a strong race but he's open to further improvement.

Form: 01

Haidarah^t1¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: D Allan| T: M L W Bell

10/1

Out of a Guineas winner but sold very cheaply earlier this year. Sixth of 10 in maiden at Leicester (6f, good, 17/2) on debut 11 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Should have more to offer.

Form: 6

Homer Stokes³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Beasley| T: T D Barron

5/2

Well-backed 8/1, won 13-runner minor event at Wetherby (7f, firm) on debut 36 days ago. Knew his job there and he should improve. One to consider.

4/1

Improved from debut when winning 7-runner maiden (7/1) at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 28 days ago, doing well to make up ground. Will progress further.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 69| BF

5/2

Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 85/40, looked half-hearted when third of 7 in maiden at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Risky against the previous winners.

Forecasts

Yukon Mission (5/2), Homer Stokes (5/2), Improvised (4/1), Dulla Bhatti (6/1), Haidarah (10/1), Blazing Son (16/1), Nosey Rosie Posey (18/1), Are You Able (22/1), Mecca's Diamond (100/1), Mrs Bagerran (200/1)

HOMER STOKES landed a few bets on debut at Wetherby with a likeable performance and there could be more to come from David Barron's charge. He can win again. Improvised and Dulla Bhatti have both quickly got off the mark also and can do even better.
