Eloped^t1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: R Coakley| T: H Palmer| OR: 61| BF

First run since leaving Kevin Philippart De Foy when seventh of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy, 10/1) 17 days ago, needing stiffer test. Claims if building on that.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Oliver Stammers| T: C Johnston| OR: 57

Form: 800-335

(3)

Raincloud⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Alice Bond⁽⁷⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 48

100/1

Forecasts

Queensland Boy (4/1), Eloped (9/2), Roman Art (9/2), Lough Leane (5/1), Artisan Dancer (13/2), Come Musica (9/1), Papa Ricco (14/1), Corsican Caper (16/1), My Boy Benji (20/1), Raincloud (100/1)

This can go to QUEENSLAND BOY, who got on the winning trail at Windsor earlier this month and hasn't been harshly treated by the handicapper. Lough Leane and Eloped look the likeliest dangers.
