Barrel Aged²⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: M Botti

10/3

Promising individual. 9/1, 6 lengths second of 8 in novice at Kempton (1½m) on debut in January. It's taken a bit of time to get him back to the track but he should have more to offer.

Form: 2

(6)

Knights Affair¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 65

18/1

Fair form when second on 1m Ripon debut in July but hasn't built on it in 3 runs since, including a handicap last time. Makes AW debut.

Thrice-raced colt. 125/1, first run since leaving Sean Woods when sixth of 11 in maiden at Kempton (1½m) 15 days ago, well positioned.

Fair maiden. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (9/2) at Ripon (2m, good) 30 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Cheekpieces on first time.

18/1

40/1, showed ability amidst greenness when seventh of 8 in novice at Salisbury (1¼m, good to firm, 40/1) on debut 13 days ago. Should be wiser now.

25/1

10/1, pulled up in juvenile hurdle at Uttoxeter (2m, good) on debut 60 days ago. Could only consider if backed now switching to the Flat.

5/4

Fairly useful form. Hooded first time, good third of 6 in handicap (5/1) at Chepstow (1m, good to firm) 24 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip. Obvious claims.

Form: 422-73

Forecasts

Marie Laveau (5/4), Barrel Aged (10/3), Mass Consumption (4/1), Lucky Protector (7/1), Sonnet Star (8/1), Sir Terence Hadley (18/1), Knights Affair (18/1), A Poet's Secret (18/1), National Health (25/1), Tennessee Blaze (125/1), Frites (150/1)

Given how well MARIE LAVEAU settled in the hood over 1m at Chepstow last time she should have prospects of staying further (bred to) and she sets the standard here. It's a slight concern that Barrel Aged has been absent since his debut in January but he showed promise on that occasion and is feared most ahead of Sir Terrance Hadley, who was very green on his recent turf debut so could improve now.
