10/1

Won handicaps at Ripon and Bath in July before finishing fifth of 7 at Thirsk (4/1) 13 days ago when failing to set a strong enough tempo from the front. Needs to make better use of stamina.

11/4

Won a handicap at this course in May but ran poorly in next two starts. Third of 6 in 10f handicap here (13/2) 12 days ago, showing improvement in first-time visor and kept on well after being outpaced. Course clearly brings out the best and the step up in trip should suit.

Form: 3-41043

Record Art⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Gina Mangan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 55

14/1

Won twice from last 3 hurdle starts since rejoining stable. Won by 5½ lengths in 8-runner hurdle at Market Rasen (6/1) 56 days ago, bouncing back from Worcester blip with improved form up in trip. Interesting to see how hurdle form translates back to Flat racing.

Forecasts

Media Mogul (9/4), Telecommunication (11/4), Woodstock City (4/1), Pappa Louis (8/1), Phrygia (8/1), Iwantmytimewithyou (10/1), Record Art (14/1)

TELECOMMUNICATION has shown a clear affinity for Yarmouth, winning here in May and returning to form when third over 10f at this track 12 days ago. The step up in trip should suit this improving gelding. Record Art is potentially well treated back on the Flat having won twice over hurdles recently, while Media Mogul stayed on well when runner-up at Salisbury last time.
