(3)

The Smiling Wolf²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Rose Dawes⁽⁵⁾| T: J Channon| OR: 70

17/2

Modest form in 6f contests. 7f should suit now handicapping but mark probably not too generous.

Form: 676

(4)

Guns And Flowers^p1¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 70

10/3

Won 6f Chelmsford maiden starting out for this trainer in June and creditable efforts in nurseries since, no extra close home over this trip in the mud at Chester last time. Good chance off the same mark now fitted with cheekpieces.

Form: 54132

(2)

The Bitter Moose²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Harry Davies⁽³⁾| T: H Palmer| OR: 69

8/1

Modest form in 6f maidens. 7f should suit now handicapping and certainly bred to be better than his opening mark.

Form: 557

(7)

Mirroring¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M L W Bell| OR: 69

7/2

Matched rather than improved her form in 6f Newmarket nursery a fortnight ago but this is a drop in class and 7f should suit on pedigree.

Form: 3033

(6)

Battle Charge⁵¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: R M Beckett| OR: 69

6/4

Has shown a fair bit in 6f events and this longer trip will suit now handicapping. Improvement could be on the way.

Form: 656

(1)

Midnight Force³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: R Kingscote| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 68

16/1

Poor over 5f at Yarmouth last time but claims on previous run over 6f there now handicapping up in trip having been gelded.

Form: 047

(5)

Mighty Pearl²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-2| J: Raul Da Silva| T: A West| OR: 45

50/1

Well beaten in 3 races up to 7f. Handicap debut.

Form: 807

Forecasts

Battle Charge (6/4), Guns And Flowers (10/3), Mirroring (7/2), The Bitter Moose (8/1), The Smiling Wolf (17/2), Midnight Force (16/1), Mighty Pearl (50/1)

GUNS AND FLOWERS relished 7f when just falling short at Chester a fortnight ago and has obvious claims if in similar form off the same mark. There is more to come from Battle Charge and he's feared most ahead of Mirroring.
