Victories have been elusive for DANZAN of late, but he has dropped to a highly-attractive rating as a result. This course holds no fears for him and the Tim Easterby-trained veteran is well worth chancing from 8lb lower than his last wining mark. Wen Moon and Rock Opera, who sports a first-time visor, are others that boast some respectable efforts here, while Beale Street and Muscika are certainly no back numbers based on their peak form. |
A chance is taken on ALFA WHITEBURD, who has been off for five months and debuts for a new yard but who is interesting off this lower turf mark after a last-time-out AW win off 7lb higher than today, especially as he ran to his then level in two turf runs earlier on last season last summer. If he is ready to go, this previously progressive 4yo is very much on a potentially good mark. Baba Reza's reappearance run was encouraging and he is next best ahead of Wreck It Ryley, who has been in good form this spring. Others to consider include Byzantine Empress and the admirable veteran Muscika. |

Victories have been elusive for DANZAN of late, but he has dropped to a highly-attractive rating as a result. This course holds no fears for him and the Tim Easterby-trained veteran is well worth chancing from 8lb lower than his last wining mark. Wen Moon and Rock Opera, who sports a first-time visor, are others that boast some respectable efforts here, while Beale Street and Muscika are certainly no back numbers based on their peak form. |
A chance is taken on ALFA WHITEBURD, who has been off for five months and debuts for a new yard but who is interesting off this lower turf mark after a last-time-out AW win off 7lb higher than today, especially as he ran to his then level in two turf runs earlier on last season last summer. If he is ready to go, this previously progressive 4yo is very much on a potentially good mark. Baba Reza's reappearance run was encouraging and he is next best ahead of Wreck It Ryley, who has been in good form this spring. Others to consider include Byzantine Empress and the admirable veteran Muscika. |

Second over C&D in September but two well down-the-field runs this spring leave him with a bit to prove at present. |

Did close out 2024 with an AW win in a first-time visor so cheekpieces now are a potential plus; plenty to prove on the evidence of two latest runs though. |

Veteran 11yo is up 4lb for narrow last-time-out Redcar win and more is needed but quite a feat to have won 18 times, so still wouldn't dismiss too readily. |
