Larado^b¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Frederick Larson⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 85

15/8

Looked back to his best when collared only late in the piece at Salisbury 3 weeks ago. Turned out quickly given he was 4 lb well in but was unable to dominate at Epsom since so the percentage call is to look elsewhere racing from his revised mark.

Form: 3-90523

Value Theory³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: J F Egan| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 89

5/1

Not disgraced when fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 18/1) 32 days ago, headed 2f out having had run of race. Interesting with her mark easing another 3 lb.

Form: 136-765

Operating¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: M Harley| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 83| D

9/4

Improved when won 9-runner maiden (7/2) at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 18 days ago, leading over 1f out and staying on well. He's open to further improvement now moving into handicaps.

Form: 6-51

Court Of Session²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Coakley| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 83| D

13/2

2 wins from 4 runs this year. Latest win at Lingfield in April. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good, 17/2) 4 weeks ago, slowly away. Seemingly better on the all-weather so others more persuasive.

Form: 33-1106

(3)

Visibility⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 72| D

11/2

Latest win at Pontefract in June. Has remained in good heart, latest when fifth of 8 in handicap at Chester (10.3f, good, 9/1) 6 days ago, staying on gradually. Vulnerable to unexposed sorts here.

Forecasts

Larado (15/8), Operating (9/4), Value Theory (5/1), Visibility (11/2), Fast Medicine (11/2), Court Of Session (13/2)

Having not really handled the track at Newmarket last time, FAST MEDICINE is better judged on his demolition job over C&D in April so Peter Chapple-Hyam's charge can resume winning ways back at this venue. Operating opened his account at Windsor recently and he's feared most with better to come now heading into handicaps, while sole-filly Value Theory looks best of the remainder.
