Commanche Falls^p²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 112| CD

15/2

Enjoyed cracking 2022, landing Stewards' Cup at Goodwood for second year running and also second in Ayr Gold Cup. All the sharper for reappearance when narrowly denied in Newmarket Group 3 23 days ago. Creative Force and Tiber Flow behind him on that occasion but he has to give them weight now.

Form: 2235-72

Creative Force²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: James Doyle| T: C Appleby| OR: 117| BF| D

4/6

Winner of the 2021 Champions Sprint at Ascot and placed 3 times at Group 1 level in 2022. Finished ¾ length behind Commanche Falls when third in Newmarket Group 3 on reappearance but he might strip fitter for the run and receives 4 lb from that rival this time. The one to beat.

Form: 02433-3

Run To Freedom^p²¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Dane O'Neill| T: H Candy| OR: 113| D

11/2

Smart colt who landed Windsor listed race and Salisbury conditions event (both 6f) last season. Ended his year with an excellent second (Creative Force third) to Kinross in Champions Sprint at Ascot (6f). Unlikely to be far away if ready to roll after 7 months off.

Tiber Flow²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 106| D

7/2

Smart sort who won a 6f Newbury listed race last summer. Creditable 2¼ lengths fourth of 7 to Garrus in Abernant at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) on reappearance but reopposing pair Commanche Falls and Creative Force were ahead of him.

Form: 21865-4

Forecasts

Creative Force (4/6), Tiber Flow (7/2), Run To Freedom (11/2), Commanche Falls (15/2)

Four really smart sprinters in a good conditions race. CREATIVE FORCE meets Commanche Falls on 4 lb better terms than when a place behind him at Newmarket last month and is selected to turn the tables now.
