Three-year-old dash handicaps are at all times a conundrum, and this occasion suits very snugly into that class. Mon Na Slieve me after some good runs this yr, together with a five-length fifth behind the stylish Huge Evs within the Listed Westow Stakes over the course and distance, the second time he has run nicely right here. A latest wind operation must also assist, and I believe we haven’t acquired to the underside of him but.
However on the respective odds, I believe that his secure mate, IRISH NECTAR, seems to be by far the higher worth, particularly with Oisin Murphy booked. A winner of a comfortable floor nursery over the course and distance off 80 final yr, he returned to shut to that type final day out when staying on fourth at Carlisle after getting squeezed out. The little bit of rain that’s forecast would clearly be an enormous plus for this son of Invincible Spirit, and a ranking of 82 seems to be very reasonable based mostly on that run on the Cumbrian monitor.
We have a tendency to take a look at techniques extra in flat races than over the sticks particularly in small fields when maybe the reverse needs to be so. This two and a half mile occasion seems to be a cracking instance to take a look at the arrange right here with simply the 5 set to go to publish.
I fancy that we are going to see the usually free-rolling Hiconic out in entrance beneath Kielan Woods and along with his slick leaping type, attempt to get away from his rivals down the hill for the ultimate time earlier than making an attempt to final residence in opposition to the grain from the house flip. Nevertheless, I’m not certain the type of his Uttoxeter success quantities to an terrible lot although.
Sergeant seems to be certain to hunt him up beneath Sean Bowen, and is feared beneath backside weight and with extra to provide off his present mark. However with Best View in all probability within the handicapper’s pocket, I got here down on the aspect of THE HEIGHT OF FAME as the worth name.
She has proven that this journey holds no fears for her following her runaway Newton Abbot success. I believed she was unfortunate to not overhaul Minella Double final day out at Worcester, preventing again on the run-in, and she or he would be the one ending better of all so long as the pin-pointed entrance runner doesn’t cease this up entrance from midway.
There’s an absolute bundle of early tempo on on this Listed occasion over six furlong with Quinault and Evening Raider set to blast out of the traps and attempt to gallop their rivals into submission, and that would set this invaluable contest up for a late nearer.
I count on Korker to run nicely from off the tempo, solely his second profession begin over this journey on his thirty third outing, whereas Twilight Calls has greater than sufficient expertise to play a component if issues fall his manner, however he’s very onerous to catch on a going day. Nevertheless, I fancy that PINK CRYSTAL may trigger a minor shock right here.
The William Haggas’ skilled cost has run nicely on the monitor on all 4 begins, along with her greatest effort being a one and three-quarter lengths fourth to the stylish Swingalong within the Group Three Summer time Stakes final yr.
Issues haven’t actually gone her manner this yr, with little tempo in two of the three races she has contested, and within the third one, she was badly squeezed out initially. So long as she will get into a pleasant early rhythm right here I believe that the daughter of Shamardal can play a component within the end late on.
With 20 runners set to go to publish for this beginner rider’s handicap over 10 furlongs, you possibly can ensure that this shall be a well-run occasion, and seeing out the journey shall be of paramount significance.
Glistening Nights has been in positive type for Richard Fahey this yr. He has solely gone up 8lbs for his three wins this season and confirmed he was nonetheless in actually good type when simply touched off by Ludo’s Touchdown at Beverley on the again finish of final month. Together with Carlisle winner Poet’s Daybreak and Unplugged, he seems to be like an each-way play right here, the latter a sufferer of his outstanding consistency prior to now season and a half.
Nevertheless, I’m going to take an opportunity at an even bigger value with the Kevin Frost-trained entry, BASS PLAYER.
Just one win from 21 outings in his profession hardly lights up the punting juices. Nonetheless, after wind surgical procedure, I made a word of the gelding after an attention grabbing run at Newbury when the five-year-old ran on late behind Flatley over an prolonged ten furlongs, 4 lengths behind Unplugged however higher off on the weights. His final run at Sandown Park got here in a barely higher race, and I can partly excuse it, as there was completely no tempo on that day, which is not going to be an issue right here.
