Young Fire^v⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 80| D

9/2

Twenty six runs since last win in 2021. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap (8/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 7 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Visor back on. Dangerously well handicapped if it all comes together again.

Tropez Power¹¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 81

14/1

Fairly useful handicapper, won twice for Richard Hannon in 2021. Mixed record this year, first run for 110 days for new yard now. Doesn't look well handicapped and others preferred.

Cliffcake⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: S R Bowring| OR: 78| C| D

9/4

Won 6 of his first 10 starts for this yard (2-2 here over 7f). 16/1, fourteenth of 15 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 59 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Very interesting back at Southwell.

12/1

Forecasts

Cliffcake (9/4), Young Fire (9/2), Love Your Work (13/2), Jilly Cooper (7/1), Alexander James (8/1), Light Up Our Stars (9/1), Finery (12/1), Imperial Command (12/1), Tropez Power (14/1), Mercurius Power (100/1)

JILLY COOPER was no match for only a good prospect of Roger Varian's at Wolverhampton 10 days ago and should be bang-there off the same mark up in trip. Cliffcake is 2-2 at Southwell and most interesting back here. Young Fire is very well handicapped these days and could take a hand.
