17:50 – Arlecchinos Star

None of the 11 runners have managed to finish placed from 33 starts between them, with three yet to beat a single rival, and a degree of guesswork is involved. At least ARLECCHINO’S STAR shaped with a bit of promise last time, despite being awkward at the start and inclined to hang right round Lingfield, and that’s enough to earn her the vote ahead of the more exposed Moondial.

18:20 – Theme Park

Several have potential in an interesting novice, not least THEME PARK, who fared much the best of the newcomers on his C&D debut a month ago (Desfondado back in sixth) when finishing a clear second to subsequent Group 3 Solario winner Silver Knott. Bailey Gate and Al Motasim look his main rivals.

18:50 – Bold Act

Relentless Voyager (second choice) and Limelight ran nice first races but they may have to go some to floor BOLD ACT. Godolphin’s colt shaped very encouragingly first time out at Newmarket and duly confirmed that promise with a bloodless success on his return visit. He may well have the class to defy a penalty.

19:20 – Sweet Fantasy

This has the feel of a late-season maiden, with a handful returning from absences. Foxtrot pulled hard when below market expectations on her debut in the spring and ought to do better in a first-time hood, but SWEET FANTASY sets the standard on her latest handicap second for a yard enjoying a good spell.

19:55 – Country Pyle

Several of these clashed in a Racing League event at Lingfield three weeks ago, in which COUNTRY PYLE was second and Blame It On Sally fifth, and they top the list today. Country Pyle had much the better run through that race but he’s also less exposed and may again beat his rival for toe where it matters. While Eagle Court, among others, put his best foot forward again last time, Aljaryaal is feared more given what he did on the AW before his latest outing.

20:25 – Dark Side Thunder

Dark Side Prince won six AW sprint handicaps in cheekpieces for Jessica Macey last year and half-brother DARK SIDE THUNDER, who’s clicked since switched from turf and fitted with headgear, is fancied to defy a 6lb rise and complete the hat-trick. Previous C&D winner Fantasy Navigator looks next best.

20:55 – Mercian Hymn

Dropped 6lb off the back of three turf starts this summer and now only 5lb higher than when bolting up over C&D last winter, MERCIAN HYMN (nap) is fancied back on the AW. The unexposed Shared should appreciate the stiffer test now handicapping back from a break, likewise Taskheer as long as he settles better than has often been the case.
