14:05 Corsican Caper
A winner over shorter here on his penultimate start, CORSICAN CAPER was arguably undone by a slow start when going down narrowly at Leicester 10 days ago, but he was very strong in the market that day and stayed on well to the line, so he looks to hold sound claims once given he arrives in great heart. Animato is also thriving and he’s the chief danger in his hat-trick bid.
14:35 Arabian Cobra
Strong support behind a debutant will look significant but ARABIAN COBRA took a marked step forward on his debut run in the Lily Agnes when finishing runner-up at Windsor 12 days ago, pulling clear of the remainder, and his experience edge over the majority ought to count for a good deal. Newcomer Mukaber is very much of interest (holds a Group 2 entry) and he needs considering, while Against the Wind, who ran well on his York debut, and expensive breeze-up acquisition Veydari, are others to consider.
15:05 The Good Biscuit
A dual winner as a two-year-old, THE GOOD BISCUIT posted a career-best effort back from 10 months off when runner-up at Leicester 10 days ago, proving himself on softer ground in the process. That was his first start since being gelded and he appeals as the type who could progress further so makes most appeal racing from the same mark. Nariko, a good winner over course and distance 12 days ago, is feared along with Cool Dividend.
15:35 Match Play
A tightly-knit handicap in which marginal preference is for course and distance winner MATCH PLAY, who signalled he is working his way back to form when third at Ayr last time, giving it a good go from the front, and he is just 1 lb higher than his last winning mark. Gemini Star is next on the list, especially if first-time cheekpieces eke out some improvement. Paddy’s Day, Grace Angel and Thunder Star all need factoring in too.
16:05 Queen Of Soldiers
This looks a good maiden and one is which QUEEN OF SOLDIERS is taken to come out on top in. She made a very promising start to her career when just touched off in an Ascot maiden over this sort of trip four weeks ago and Roger Varian’s Ribblesdale entry is fancied to build on that and make another bold bid. Faifa, following her very promising debut fourth at Salisbury, and Chorus are others fancied to feature, whilst Lasting Love also commands respect back in calmer waters.
16:40 Forever Blue
The market should reveal plenty but Ralph Beckett’s FOREVER BLUE possesses much the best form, looking above average when making a winning debut at this course last summer, and she wasn’t disgraced in the Prestige Fillies’ Stakes at Goodwood after, so she is taken to get back on the up on return with her yard going well. Redcar scorer Not Real is next on the list, although newcomers Haute Couture, Winning Point and Tareefa are all in excellent hands and need monitoring in the betting.
17:10 Woodleigh
WOODLEIGH took his form up another level when opening his account at Ripon last week, leading in the final furlong and readily drawing clear in the closing stages, so has makes a fair bit of appeal turned out under a 6 lb penalty. Arnaz also arrives on the back of a recent victory at Brighton and is next on the list ahead of handily-weighted Triggerman and Redcar scorer Alfie Boy.
