7/2

Newcastle maiden winner (7f) as a 2-y-o who ran best race since when runner-up in a handicap there (1m) in July. Below that level sole start since and interesting connections opt for blinkers now.

11/4

Perfect start for new yard when scoring on return at Redcar (1m) in April. Struggled next 3 starts but back on track of late, unlucky not to score at Thirsk (1m) 3 weeks ago. One to consider.

Headingley^p²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Jason Hart| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 80| D

10/1

Quirky sort who resumed winning ways at Chelmsford (1m) in July but failed to beat a rival both starts since, beaten a long way at Newmarket (1m) latest. He's difficult to predict.

11/2

Improved for gelding operation of late, shedding maiden tag at Salisbury (1m) in August, allowed to dictate but keeping on well. Shade disappointing at Windsor since but not one to write off.

Cosmos Raj²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 77| D

11/2

Found some improvement in recent starts, scoring at Newmarket and Ripon before a good second back Newmarket (all 1m) last time. Ought to give his running again.

Captain Cooper²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: S H James| T: K A Ryan| OR: 77

7/2

Impressive when landing 7f AW novice in January. Not really kicked on since but he ran creditably having had blindfold removed late when fourth at Newmarket (1m) latest. Mark has eased a little more.

Forecasts

A Boy Named Ivy (11/4), Third Kingdom (7/2), Captain Cooper (7/2), Invincibly (5/1), Cosmos Raj (11/2), Power Station (11/2), Surprise Picture (8/1), Headingley (10/1)

A BOY NAMED IVY has got back on track of late, looking unlucky not to come out on top having been held in at a crucial stage when runner-up at Thirsk (1m) 3 weeks ago, and he's fancied to make a bold bid from a 1 lb higher mark. Third Kingdom, equipped with first-time blinkers. and Surprise Picture, back from a break. rate next best, ahead of Cosmos Raj.
