11:15 – ZOUM ZOUM
ZOUM ZOUM looked a useful prospect when making a winning debut in a decent time at Kempton three weeks ago and can defy a penalty representing a yard whose newcomers always come on a fair bit for their first start. Individualism can put his experience to good use and be thereabouts again, while Kikkuli is a very interesting newcomer being a half-brother to Frankel.
11:45 – HUTCHENCE
Ralph Beckett’s two-year-olds have been firing for some time now and HUTCHENCE, who is bred to be smart, could be another to make a winning debut.
Kilt and Lord of Love are a couple of other choicely-bred newcomers from top stables who are highly respected, while Strong Opinion should have learnt from his recent C&D debut and completes the shortlist before market clues.
12:15 – HERAKLES
HERAKLES is well treated on the pick of his form and, having been picked up cheaply by current connections, he shaped encouragingly when third at Leicester in September. With a strong pace on the cards, he’s worth taking a chance on, with Sera Dawn another one likely to benefit from the run of things. Cavalier Approach also merits plenty of respect.
12:50 – STOP THE CAVALRY
There are plenty with claims in this big-field listed event, but the vote goes to STOP THE CAVALRY, who is in good hands and made a good impression on her Haydock debut in September. She handled soft ground well that day, so even more testing conditions shouldn’t pose a problem and there should also be plenty of improvement in her. Serene Seraph and Lexington Belle are proven in testing conditions also and may provide the chief threat.
13:25 – HAMISH
The William Haggas-trained HAMISH goes particularly well when the mud is flying and he is very much the one to beat in the rearranged St Simon Stakes. He finished runner-up to Max Vega in this race 12 months ago (at Newbury) and has won all three of his starts this season, producing his best effort of the year in the Glorious Stakes at Goodwood last time.
He arrives a fresh horse and sets the standard on form. Al Qareem also arrives at the top of his game and may pose the biggest threat.
14:00 – MEXICALI ROSE
The one who appeals most is MEXICALI ROSE, who is clearly still improving judged on her solid effort at Pontefract and she may well have more to offer now faced with a stiffer test.
Western Stars was unlucky not to finish closer when bidding for the hat-trick at Windsor and is feared most, while Toshizou’s turn is surely near judged on recent displays and he is third choice ahead of Baryshnikov and the in-form Kamanika.
14:35 – BLACK KALANISI
The veteran BLACK KALANISI was well supported and returned to near his best when resuming winning ways at Pontefract last month, and a 3 lb rise looks fair, so he is taken to follow up. Clansman has been in good form at Ayr of late and is likely to emerge as the main danger ahead of September Power. Coquelicot and Havaila are also dangerous.
15:10 – MR ALAN
MR ALAN handles heavy ground well and he came on as expected for his seasonal return when resuming winning ways over a mile and a quarter at Nottingham last month. He had won the same race 12 months earlier from 2 lb lower and, though he only just held on at the line, he went through that race like a horse who has more to offer.
That was just his second start of the year and a subsequent 3 lb rise leaves him on a competitive mark. Sole three-year-old Kardia is feared most on handicap debut whilst last year’s winner Torcello also enters calculations.
15:45 – KALAMUNDA
KALAMUNDA continued his progress when scoring comfortably at Kempton 16 days ago and he can go on to land the hat-trick in his current form. Heading the list of dangers is Forward Flight, who returned to his best when successful at Yarmouth on his latest outing, while Albus Anne and Poet’s Dawn are two others to consider in this open-looking contest.
