MIDNIGHT LIR has shown improved form in each of his three starts, appreciating the step up to six furlongs when runner-up at Thirsk last month. He bumped into an improving filly on that occasion, while the third has since franked the form, and Midnight Lir sets a healthy standard on form. Unowho and Soveraine may well emerge as the pair to give him most to think about.
CALYPSO showed fairly useful form in three starts last season, finishing placed behind some who have gone on to frank the form since, and he has also caught the eye in handicap company so far this year. He did well to finish as close as he did under the circumstances at Haydock last time, the emphasis on speed back down in trip proving against him from his position in rear. Calypso finished never nearer than at the finish, and will be well suited by a return to a mile now, so he remains a horse to be positive about from this sort of mark. Hale End impressed when running out a ready winner of a course and distance handicap 13 days ago and a 10 lb rise shouldn’t prevent him going well again.
Only six runners but it is hard to rule any out and it is EILEAN DUBH who makes the most appeal. He was very progressive last season, winning four times, notably a very competitive handicap at York which is strong form. He has taken a while to get going so far this year, but took a big step back in the right direction at Sandown last time, only beaten half a length by the reopposing Maysong, and he is handicapped to turn around that form now on revised terms. Fantastic Fox and Austrian Theory, who have tasted success at this track before, may prove the biggest dangers.
BERAZ had some fairly useful form on the Flat in France but saw the track just twice over hurdles in a 12-month spell with Dan Skelton. Clearly he has had problems and seemingly isn’t the easiest to train, but he shaped well on his debut for this yard when runner-up at this track last time, showing the benefit of another breathing operation. The form of that race has worked out well abd Beraz is a horse to be positive about from this mark for an in-form yard with this step up in trip sure to suit. Salisbury winner Roaring Legend could have more to off now back in handicap company and is feared most.
PARISIAC had fallen a long way in the weights since joining this yard but returned to form when belatedly resuming winning ways at Lingfield last month, first-time blinkers appearing to perk him up and he proved much too speedy for his rivals. He is now 7 lb higher in the weights, but he remains on a fair mark based on the pick of his form, and he should launch another bold bid if the headgear continues to have the same effect. Ramon Di Loria and Slainte Mhath can also make their presence felt.
STORMY PEARL’s last win came over six furlongs at this course around this time last year and she ran her best race for a while when runner-up at Carlisle a fortnight ago, leading under two furlongs out and only edged out close home. That was over an extended five furlongs, but the drop to a bare five should suit, and she should remain competitive now back down to her last winning mark. Hard Solution and Aconcagua Mountain rate the principal dangers.
