Aimeric³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 108| D

5/2

Smart gelding. Five wins from 16 Flat runs. Latest win at Lingfield in May. Rare below-par effort when 11½ lengths third of 5 to Burdett Road in listed race at Newmarket (12f, soft, 9/2) 38 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and likely to bounce back given overall profile.

9/2

Useful gelding, completing AW 4-timer at Lingfield in March. Good fourth of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, good, 12/1) 51 days ago, finishing well. Return to this surface a definite plus.

100/1

Smart mare. 20/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 13 days ago. Blinkers back on and dangerous on these terms if building on that.

Form: 127-877

Military Academy³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 105| BF

1/1

From an excellent family and won his first 2 starts in August/September. 10/11, 8½ lengths second of 5 to Burdett Road in listed race at Newmarket (12f, soft) 38 days ago. Open to improvement for top yard so demands consideration switched to the AW.

Mrs Twig⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 81| CD

33/1

Fairly useful filly. C&D winner. 4 wins from 7 runs this year. 25/1, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Newmarket (10f, good) 44 days ago. Clearly in form but this is a difficult ask.

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Billy Loughnane| T: T Ward| OR: 94

Forecasts

Military Academy (1/1), Aimeric (5/2), Penzance (9/2), Ayyab (16/1), Our Golden One (18/1), Mrs Twig (33/1), Kolossal (100/1)

PENZANCE improved at a rate of knots on the AW for these connections and the return to this surface may just prove the catalyst for further success. Military Academy is quickly making up for lost time and is the one in the line-up with the potential to rate much higher. Aimeric is established at this level so commands respect, too.
