Distant Light³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: W Buick| T: A M Balding| OR: 76

11/4

Progressive sort who opened her account in 7f novice at Lingfield in April. Improved again when close fourth on 7f Goodwood handicap debut later that month but unable to make much of an impact in a big-field event at York since.

Form: 09-2140

Tyson¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 75

13/2

Won a 5f Bath maiden on final 2-y-o start. Hasn't made a significant impact in his 3 handicaps this term and others certainly arrive with more pressing claims.

Form: 831-655

Burning Emotion²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 72| D

7/1

Won at Kempton on her final 2-y-o start and showed improved form on handicap debut after 6 months off when a close third of 5 (11/2) at Catterick (7f, good) 20 days ago. Every chance she can feature if building on that effort.

Form: 221-3

Devon Envoy⁸^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: R Coakley| T: B R Millman| OR: 66| D

6/4

Quirky sort but doing little wrong currently, supplementing his Salisbury success earlier this month when winning 8-runner handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 8 days ago, making all. Bold bid expected for the hat-trick under a penalty.

Form: 60-2011

Golden Duke¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Faye McManoman⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 68| D

5/1

Again ran well when second of 10 in handicap (9/2) at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Needs producing as late as possible but expected to go close once again.

Form: 40-6022

Forecasts

Devon Envoy (6/4), Distant Light (11/4), Golden Duke (5/1), Tyson (13/2), Burning Emotion (7/1)

The hat-trick beckons for Rod Millman's fast-improving DEVON ENVOY, who has displayed blistering early pace on his last couple of outings and is fancied to make light of a 6 lb penalty provided he continues to keep his quirks in check. Golden Duke has filled the runner-up spot the last twice and he may have to settle for silver here once again, with Burning Emotion another who merits consideration.
