13:50 – Space Legend

Space Legend ran really well for the William Haggas team at the Royal meeting and was firmly put in his place in the closing stages by Calandagan, one of the runaway winners of the week. He’s stepping up slightly in distance which looks to prove no problem whatsoever. He can be another smart winner for the new operation.

14:25 – Whistlejacket

Whistlejacket bolted up on home soil under soft conditions and was an incredibly short-priced favourite for the Norfolk. He came unstuck there under much faster conditions and it looks as if the weather is going to play ball for him and he should get just a little bit of ease in the ground. He can step back into the winners enclosure.

 

15:00 – Brave Empire (each way)

Brave Empire finished behind a couple of these at the Royal meeting but was unfavoured by the way the race unfolded in front of him. He steps up a furlong which looks ideal and he certainly doesn’t look overburdened on a mark of just 94. He’s a lightly-raced improver.

15:35 – Hamish

Providing the rain arrives, Hamish surely has too much finishing kick for all of these in the line up and will be able to produce a telling change of gear late on. Just in case he doesn’t go and the rain doesn’t arrive, the race could be at the mercy of Giavellotto.
