13:20 Knight’s Gambit

Fen Tiger is running well and beat all bar the favourite last time, so under ideal conditions he may take all the beating. However, KNIGHT’S GAMBIT is less exposed and he won with a bit up his sleeve at Brighton recently. Thermal also comes into it.

13:50 Serenity Rose

Girl Magic will give her running but she looks vulnerable under a penalty, as was the case at Wolverhampton recently. Sassy Belle has strong form claims but the new headgear is a grey area so preference is for SERENITY ROSE, who pushed the Lowther runner-up close first time out and for whatever reason she never did herself justice here in July. Belinda Bell has a similar profile to the selection and also needs considering.

14:20 Gone

The most obvious answer is GONE, who doesn’t look harshly treated with a 4lb rise for her convincing win at Yarmouth a fortnight ago. It’s hard to build a strong case for anything else but Poppy Carrew put in some good late work over 6f here on her latest outing and can pose a threat now up in trip while nursery debutante Cantora is very unexposed.

14:55 Road to the East

Plenty of dead wood here but it’s still open. ROAD TO THE EAST took a forward step at York and any further improvement should see him being very competitive. Dear Daphne and Muy Muy Guapo bring similar profiles after pleasing second efforts and they are feared most in that order.

15:30 Maysong (NAP)

Guess should improve for going over 1m but he is in first-time headgear, which casts some doubt. Preference is for MAYSONG (NAP), who has had a good season and shouldn’t be marked down for his last two defeats. Harswell Duke and Strongbowe are others to be reckoned with.

16:05 Gordonstoun

Sisters In The Sky wasn’t disgraced in better company over C&D last time, especially as he was carried out of his ground, but GORDONSTOUN is a more proven stayer who ran his best race for these connections when making all over C&D 13 days ago. Fire Eyes has a difficult task at the weights with both but, while her win claims are slight, she could reach the frame.

16:35 Kape Moss

Rambuso Creek (next best) ran well after a break at Pontefract and could be capable of better again, while in the same colours May Blossom commands attention. First choice is KAPE MOSS, who will appreciate this drop in class and her fourth at York last time was an eyecatching effort.
