13:40 – Hot Dancer
HOT DANCER produced a promising first effort when second in a small-field Chester maiden earlier this month and, still open to improvement, he can build on that display and make a bold bid to go one place better. Moonjid stepped up on his debut form when fourth in a class 2 maiden at Goodwood, and he’s feared. Newcomers Tuscan Hills and Play Me are others to note.
14:10 – Shining Pearl
A small-field maiden where SHINING PEARL is expected to get off the mark. She has some fair form to her name, so she is fancied to build on her recent runner-up effort at Ayr, where she was beaten only by a useful type who has franked the form since. Charlie Johnston’s Ghaiyya could emerge as the one to chase home Karl Burke’s filly if, as expected, building on the promise she showed on her debut in a stronger event at Goodwood earlier this month.
14:45 – Serene Seraph
None of these can be ruled out, but the vote goes to SERENE SERAPH, who looked to have more to offer when a comfortable scorer at Lingfield last time. She will be a rare runner for trainer Richard Hannon at this track, and, as a lightly-raced type, she should have more to offer and is expected to defy a 6 lb rise. Hat-trick-seeking Cerulean Bay is next on the list ahead of Rhythm Master, Documenting and Persuasion.
15:15 – Ventura Express
The vote goes to VENTURA EXPRESS, who did well under the circumstances when third at Chepstow last time, deserving plenty of credit for racing wide and away from the main action and, on that evidence, this step back up in trip looks a good move. He is fancied to record his third win of the season, likely at the main expense of Trilby, who put in a solid shift in a higher-grade handicap at Pontefract recently and will be a danger to all if reproducing that effort. Makanah and Tinto are others to consider.
15:45 – Gatwick Kitten
GATWICK KITTEN ran better than previously this year when third over this trip at Yarmouth three weeks ago, staying on well after being given a little too much to do and, returned to classified company, he earns the vote to build on that effort and come out on top. Electrified, equipped with first-time blinkers, and Sassy Soprano are others to consider.
16:15 – Tillybob
TILLYBOB remains a maiden but returned to form when third at Pontefract last month, running her best race for a while to finish never nearer than at the finish, and she is narrowly preferred to build on that and come out on top with her rider again taking off a handy 5 lb in an open event. A decent pace to aim at will enhance the claims of My Boy Jack, and he, along with Sydney Bay, are others to consider.
16:50 – The Crafty Mole
Preference is for THE CRAFTY MOLE, who wasn’t disgraced upped to two miles at Newbury last time, but he is four from four over this trip, and he remains on a fair enough make to maintain that 100 per cent record, provided that the first-time visor has the desired effect. Fellow three-year-old Cool Legend promises to be suited by this stiffer test, and he is feared most, ahead of Gibside and King of The Plains.
17:20 – Original Thinker
ORIGINAL THINKER proved better than ever under a more patient ride than previously when successful at Beverley in May. With the likelihood of a good pace to aim at on the cards, she could be worth siding with in the hope that a four-month break doesn’t catch her out. Fellow last-time-out winners Finn Ironside and Captain Corelli may pose chief resistance.
