Sinalunga Mia

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods

11/1

Time Test mare. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 6f-7f winner Abruzzo Mia and 7f winner Siena Mia. Dam ran twice. Hard to fancy on belated debut.

Form:

(8)

Flight Radar¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: K R Burke

13/8

£24,000 yearling, 1,000 gns 3-y-o, James Garfield gelding. 28/1, fourth of 9 in novice at Haydock (7f, good to firm) on debut 16 days ago, faring best of those held up. May well do better.

Form: 4

(5)

Mary Ellen Best

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D Swift| T: Miss Tracy Waggott

50/1

Peace Envoy filly. Dam, maiden (stayed 6f), granddaughter of US Grade 2 7f winner Dancing. Yard wouldn't be associated with debut winners.

(4)

Pinsent²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: O J Orr| T: T D Barron

11/1

$50,000 yearling, Palace Malice gelding. 33/1, eighth of 12 in maiden at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) on debut 22 days ago, never nearer. Likely to be more of a handicap project over further in time.

Form: 8

(6)

Bletchley Pride

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby

18/1

3,000 gns foal, National Defense gelding. Half-brother to 1¾m-16.2f winner Heatherdown Hero. Dam 7f winner who stayed 1¼m. Others make more appeal on paper.

Form:

(7)

Longhaired General³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: T Eaves| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 79

11/10

Lightly-raced gelding. 7/1, very good second of 10 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good) 35 days ago. Improving all the time recently and sets a clear standard back in maiden company.

Form: 4622

(3)

Rogers Dream³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Murtagh| T: S Corbett

66/1

Harry Angel filly. Failed to improve from debut when 50/1, seventh of 12 in maiden at Ripon (6f, good) 32 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Form: 07

(2)

Meridian Response

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Harrison Shaw| T: Jessica Macey

25/1

Equiano filly. Dam, maiden (stayed 7f), half-sister to smart 7f-11f winner Hunt, including US Grade 1/several Grade 2 events. Worth market check.

Forecasts

Longhaired General (11/10), Flight Radar (13/8), Pinsent (11/1), Sinalunga Mia (11/1), Bletchley Pride (18/1), Meridian Response (25/1), Mary Ellen Best (50/1), Rogers Dream (66/1)

The should represent a good opportunity for LONGHAIRED GENERAL to get off the mark, having taken another step forward in handicap company last time. Flight Radar showed ability on his debut at Haydock and rates as the clear danger for the Karl Burke yard, with Tim Easterby's newcomer Bletchley Pride a modest pick for third.
