Mr Lightside^p1²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Mason Paetel⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 97| D

9/2

Dual winner of 5f novices and placed in the Molecomb last season. Better than ever on his return when runner-up in conditions event at Chelmsford but struggled to make an impact back up in class since (carried head bit awkwardly). Headgear now applied.

Form: 470-250

Jungle Drums¹⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J A Osborne| OR: 97| D

28/1

Won twice for Karl Burke at 2 yrs, including a 6f York listed race on final start of campaign. However, failed to make an impact in a couple of appearances for new yard at Meydan earlier this year so questions to answer back from a break.

Form: 2171-96

Kullazain⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: C Lee| T: J Tate| OR: 95| D

6/1

Useful form whe wide-margin winner of Sandown maiden before decent third in Group 3 at Newmarket. Found the Sandy Lane too much at Haydock on return but in a more realistic grade here switched to a handicap.

Form: 313-9

(3)

Against The Wind³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 93| D

15/2

Newcastle novice winner a year ago and followed that by finishing a good fifth in a valuable big-field sales race at the Ebor meeting. Gelded ahead of his career-best winning reappearance at Thirsk and backed that with an excellent third of 22 at York. Easy to forgive latest run at Epsom.

Form: 150-130

(2)

Loom^h²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Billy Garritty| T: R A Fahey| OR: 91| D

6/1

Took form to another level when second of 22 in a 5f York handicap at the Dante meeting. A bit too keen for his own good next 2 starts there but he's not taken lightly tackling AW for the first time.

Form: 17-5260

(11)

Showering²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 88

11/2

Has made good progress in 6f novices, winning for a second time on Yarmouth reappearance. Not disgraced when mid-field on handicap debut at York 4 weeks ago and certainly worth a go at this trip (free-goer).

Form: 12-19

(9)

Brosay^b1²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Edward Greatrex| T: P Attwater| OR: 88| CD

9/1

Improved model on AW for this yard and proved every bit as effective back on turf over 5f when runner-up at Sandown in April. Not disgraced at Royal Ascot since and should be much more competitive here. Change of headgear.

Form: 1-26220

Fluorescence^t1⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: P J McDonald| T: E Bethell| OR: 86| BF| C

13/2

Won novices at Southwell and Redcar 7 month apart before good second on handicap bow at Ripon 8 weeks ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and remains a useful prospect down in trip.

Form: 1-12

Lexington Blitz⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: S M Levey| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 85| D

8/1

Dual winner over 5f from the front last summer and proved better than ever on second start this term when finishing runner-up in the Epsom 3-y-o Dash. Probably in better form than his last 2 efforts imply so remains of interest eased another 2 lb.

Form: 10-0205

(7)

Amestris²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M L W Bell| OR: 84| D

16/1

Busy at 2 yrs but ran her best race yet when second of 7 in handicap at Haydock (5f, good, 14/1) 22 days ago, clear of rest. Player off same mark switched to the AW for the first time.

Form: 7823-02

Storm Call^v1⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 79| D

100/1

Fairly useful form as a 2-y-o for Karl Burke but hasn't yet figured for new yard this season. Headgear on.

Form: 229-085

Forecasts

Mr Lightside (9/2), Showering (11/2), Kullazain (6/1), Loom (6/1), Fluorescence (13/2), Against The Wind (15/2), Lexington Blitz (8/1), Brosay (9/1), Amestris (16/1), Jungle Drums (28/1), Storm Call (100/1)

Plenty to consider but FLUORESCENCE arguably has the most potential, especially tackling 5f for the first time. Lexington Blitz has had excuses since finishing second in the 3-y-o "Dash" at Epsom off 2 lb higher so is next best ahead of Showering, who is another who could benefit from the drop in trip.
