Settings
Selected odds by:
Ran poorly in the mud at Goodwood 9 weeks ago but 2-2 at Chester this year prior to that, beating Just Frank (now Timeform-rated 112) in June. Good chance he can revive back here.
|
Dual winner for Andrew Balding, including a C&D apprentice handicap in July. Fair run for new yard back here 3 weeks ago, though mark unchanged and he'll clearly need a bit more to prevail again.
|
Useful as a juvenile, off the mark at Musselburgh (7f) final start. Well held after a gelding operation on belated return at Newmarket and cheekpieces go back on now.
|
Produced a career best to get off the mark for this yard in extended 1m Epsom handicap last week, relishing being able to dominate. Obvious player if he can force things again around here.
|
Wolverhampton winner at 2 yrs. Form patchy kept to turf this term, running poorly at Ayr a fortnight ago. Different headgear tried now.
|
Has just a 6f Hamilton maiden win to his name. Well held upped to 2m at Musselburgh 3 weeks ago and bit to find even back down to this sort of trip.

Forecasts
Master Zoffany (11/4), Larado (11/4), The Kodi Kid (4/1), Mayaas (9/2), Abduction (13/2), Kraken Power (20/1)
LARADO made all in good style at Epsom last week and could string his rivals out again round here if taking to the softer surface. Master Zoffany has won twice at Chester this year, coming clear from off a strong gallop on both occasions, and he's the obvious danger with the ground ideal.
- LARADO (FR)
- MASTER ZOFFANY (IRE)
