Live Aid¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: D Carroll

100/1

22/1, first run since leaving Emmet Mullins when last of 8 in novice at Southwell (8.1f) on Flat debut 14 days ago, slowly away. Hard to fancy.

Form: 8

(5)

One More Bottle²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: D C Costello| T: Lizzie Quinlan

100/1

Making GB/IRE Flat debut. Last of 11 in bumper at Catterick (15.7f, good, 100/1) 29 days ago. Likely best watched.

Ryans Hope^b1

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Ben Robinson| T: I Jardine

8/1

Ivawood gelding. Brother to 11f winner Ivaquestion and half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 6f/7f winner Truffles and 1¼m-13f winner Estoppel. Wears blinkers. Worth monitoring in market on belated debut.

Absolutely Not³⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Laura Coughlan⁽³⁾| T: A Watson

9/2

Fifth of 9 in maiden (12/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on debut, having hopeless task from position. Off 12 months. May well do better.

Form: 5-

(2)

Saxonia¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Jonny Peate| T: C Johnston| OR: 69| BF

5/6

Back from 6 months off when very good third of 7 in handicap (5/2) over C&D 12 days ago. Entitled to build on that and holds strong claims.

Form: 5454-3

(6)

My Mate Beattie⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁷⁾| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 71

9/2

Fair filly. Disappointed at Southwell last time but had posted good second in Wolverhampton nursery (8.7f) previously and must enter calculations.

Form: 233929-

Sovereign Class¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽⁵⁾| T: Grant Tuer

10/1

Twice-raced filly. 18/1, fourth of 5 in maiden over C&D 16 days ago. Improvement required.

Form: 24

Forecasts

Saxonia (5/6), Absolutely Not (9/2), My Mate Beattie (9/2), Ryans Hope (8/1), Sovereign Class (10/1), Live Aid (100/1), One More Bottle (100/1)

SAXONIA proved a different proposition when a close third over C&D earlier this month and remains low mileage. He can open his account. My Mate Beattie and Absolutely Not look the likeliest dangers.
