14:10 Secret Hansheikh
SECRET HANDSHEIKH has scored in good style on his last two visits to this course and John Gallagher’s charge is taken to add another course and distance success to his tally.
He wasn’t disgraced at Sandown last time and he clearly saves his best for this venue. Recon Mission deserves to get his head in front and is feared most on the back of his Lingfield near miss, while Little Miss Magic should also be on the premises.
14:40 Kilteel
KILTEEL showed much-improved form when opening her account at Newcastle three weeks ago, seeing off another handicap debutant who was well supported in the process, and she looks to hold sound claims from a 4 lb higher mark in her follow-up bid.
Me Tarzan, who wasn’t seen to best effect on his latest outing at Kempton, course-winner Cassandraalexandra and another nursery debutante Samujana are others to consider in an open race.
15:10 Twilight Moon
This doesn’t look the strongest race of its type and TWILIGHT MOON is taken to build on previous promise. She ran her best race over seven furlongs at this course last time, and the way she shaped that day suggests she’ll improve further now stepping up to a mile. She also represents a yard who are enjoying an excellent time of things and is taken to improve past the standard-setter Dalmally, though any market support for interesting newcomer Gold Hill should be noted.
15:40 Fen Tiger
FEN TIGER hasn’t won for coming up to two years, but he ran his best race of the year when narrowly denied over this course and distance last month, and he should go close again in this field judged by that effort.
The third has come out and won since to give that form a boost and this race doesn’t look any stronger. Fen Tiger should have too much for course and distance winners Cloudy Rose and Largo Bay, while Irezumi is also worthy of consideration.
16:10 Little Tiger
LITTLE TIGER improved on recent efforts with the blinkers back on to open his account over this trip at Leicester in July, impressing with how strong he was at the finish and leaving the impression he may have even more to offer.
Assuming he is raring to go following a three-month break he will have every chance of adding to that success. A winner here on two of his last three starts, Fighting Poet looks set for another bold show and he is second choice ahead of Mrembo and The Conqueror.
16:45 Desert Footsteps
Conditions are unlikely to be as fast here as they were at Chepstow when DESERT FOOTSTEPS made a winning handicap debut last month, but that was a very convincing win, and she is by a sire whose progeny generally go well on easy ground.
She arrives unexposed and a subsequent 6 lb rise in the weights probably underestimates her. Poetic Force and Roscioli are taken to fill the places, with Lady Ava also likely to be vying for minor honours.
17:15 Bobby Dassler
Having slipped to a potentially very handy mark BOBBY DASSLER is of interest on his debut for the Michael Wigham yard. The hint should be taken if this five-year-old, who is equipped with a first-time hood, is strong in the betting starting out for a shrewd yard that is 17 lb lower than his last winning one. Kondratiev Wave and Blue Collar Lad both arrive here in good order and are feared most in that order of preference.
