Shiplake has taken the silver medal home in both of his handicap starts, most recently in this grade at Epsom, and is one to take seriously in a first-time hood with Oisin Murphy booked. However, TERRITORIAL KNIGHT produced a much better effort to make the frame at York last month and is just 3lb higher. The son of Territories makes his fifth handicap appearance and may have more to offer. Sergeant Pep is another to keep an eye on. |
A tight affair where a quite a few who have not been at the top of their game could bounce back to form under starkly different ground conditions. Both Shiplake and Pixie Diva would head the short list if it weren't for the question mark posed by the likely soft ground and are overlooked for more proven types in the conditions. A chance is taken with TIRIAC who has slipped to a very threatening mark, 2lb below his last winning mark, and showed hints of returning to form on penultimate run at Beverley over 5f before an excusable poor run last time having endured a rough trip. He loves deep ground, a winner twice on heavy and placed efforts on soft, and 6f is ideal. It's also encouraigng his only run here was a CD win on third career start. Al Barez hasn't run on soft ground but both efforts on good to soft were excellent (a win and close-up 4th of 10) and now eased back to class 4 having been tested in class 3 the last twice has decent claims to get his head back in front. A much better effort by Golden Strike looks on the cards but It Just Takes Time is the more solid alternative to hit the frame. He's gone well on this track over 6f and 7f and relishes soft ground. From a mark now 3lbs below his last winning mark he has to be taken seriously |

Shiplake has taken the silver medal home in both of his handicap starts, most recently in this grade at Epsom, and is one to take seriously in a first-time hood with Oisin Murphy booked. However, TERRITORIAL KNIGHT produced a much better effort to make the frame at York last month and is just 3lb higher. The son of Territories makes his fifth handicap appearance and may have more to offer. Sergeant Pep is another to keep an eye on. |
A tight affair where a quite a few who have not been at the top of their game could bounce back to form under starkly different ground conditions. Both Shiplake and Pixie Diva would head the short list if it weren't for the question mark posed by the likely soft ground and are overlooked for more proven types in the conditions. A chance is taken with TIRIAC who has slipped to a very threatening mark, 2lb below his last winning mark, and showed hints of returning to form on penultimate run at Beverley over 5f before an excusable poor run last time having endured a rough trip. He loves deep ground, a winner twice on heavy and placed efforts on soft, and 6f is ideal. It's also encouraigng his only run here was a CD win on third career start. Al Barez hasn't run on soft ground but both efforts on good to soft were excellent (a win and close-up 4th of 10) and now eased back to class 4 having been tested in class 3 the last twice has decent claims to get his head back in front. A much better effort by Golden Strike looks on the cards but It Just Takes Time is the more solid alternative to hit the frame. He's gone well on this track over 6f and 7f and relishes soft ground. From a mark now 3lbs below his last winning mark he has to be taken seriously |

Below par beaten 6l in a handicap at Carlisle last time; goes well with give; 6f ok but probably prefer further; fairly-weighted on pick of form but bit to prove |
