Soldier's Minute^h⁶

9/2

Gave the firm impression he's on the way back after a low-key start to the year when thirteenth of 21 in handicap (28/1) at York (6f, firm) 6 days ago. Can make presence felt.

16/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 11 in minor event (50/1) at Newcastle (6f) 46 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.

Fast And Loose^b¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 82| D

7/1

Promising sort. Shaped as if better for the run when 4¾ lengths third of 8 to Woven in handicap (7/1) at Doncaster (6f, heavy) 17 days ago. Blinkers back on. Has to be taken seriously.

Form: 12022-3

Forecasts

Abduction (5/2), Woven (11/4), Soldier's Minute (9/2), Fast And Loose (7/1), Significantly (9/1), Walking On Clouds (12/1), Venturous (16/1), Shalaa Asker (18/1)

FAST AND LOOSE looks the type to make a better 4-y-o and shaped as if better for the run after 7 months off when third behind Woven at Doncaster. He's taken to reverse the placings on 6 lb better terms. Soldier's Minute caught the eye at York last week and is another to consider.
