(6)

Al Khawaneej River¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: D C Costello| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 66

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: B R Millman| OR: 65

9/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, excellent ½-length third of 13 to Laura Bay in handicap at this course (10f, good) 27 days ago. In the mix once more.

Form: 098-03

(9)

Harlington⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: George Rooke| T: R J Smith| OR: 55| BF

40/1

11/4, below form sixth of 13 in handicap at Leicester (10f, good) 9 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Forecasts

Rakki (3/1), Laura Bay (4/1), Aulis (9/2), Wonder Kid (11/2), Forest Hills (9/1), I Love Paris (10/1), Al Khawaneej River (12/1), North Winterfell (20/1), Hope Rising (33/1), Harlington (40/1)

A tight-knit handicap in which the handily-weighted AULIS is taken to get off the mark with the form of his latest Salisbury third having been franked. Course scorer Laura Bay is feared most now her stamina is drawn out more with in-form maidens Rakki and Forest Hills also in the picture.
