An almost full field o 12 for todays feature over a mile on the turf course. A few outsiders but generally, most of the runners are in with a chance.
STORMZAPPER Has been running well over 9f in grade I and II races but this drop back to a mile doesn’t look ideal. He’s been getting to the rear early and colsing late- they will go too quick for him here. Outside chance of a place.
CRIMSON PIRATE Had her first run for a while recently and that should have blown away the cobwebs. If she can return to her last three runs prior to that over this distance she has good place claims at a big price. If not, the wooden spoon awaits.
CHIEF STALLION Has run eight really consistant races in a row over todyas trip, but in most of those he’s led until the quaterpole and been caught on the line. Lookds to be crying out for a drop in trip to around 6-7f, but against some good opposition expect him to lread and finish just out of the money.
MIZZEN DIZZIE Another for whome this would seem too far- been running well in extended sprints but even then has been crying out for 6f- the distance of his most recent win. Will vie for the lead but fade to the rear by the line.
LEVEN SEVENTY WON Won a grade I at the trip recently and followed up with another two decent runs. I suspect his ideal trip would be 9f but he must still be a danger here. Will sit just off the front and with the fast pace likely. he can go to the front in the last furlong. A big danger.
DOM TENDENCIES This is a hard one to weigh up- he’s run a couple of nice races at this distance and in grade I and II races but generally he’s been at the front at around seven furlongs and been caught. A change in distance looks on the cards perhaps down to s7-7.5f. Again he’ll be near the front early today and will get caught. Possibilities of a place.
ORANGE SWIRL Two really good wins in his alst two races over this distance in grade II and III races. Looks ready for the step up and will take all the beating for me. Will sit near the back early and as the myriad of front runners tire, he’ll ease past to win.
LAST GROOM T Has been running well in stakes and graded races and this looks about his distance. He hasn’t quite notched the speed figures of some of these though. Will be competitive and may just reach the money.
JOLIES SONG She’s been runniong well at sprint distances but has been closing too late- the same as happened latest over this distance. Can go close again and can place but is crying out for a try at 9f.
XTREMELY A FAN A big danger on his recent grade III win at this distance. 9f looked a little too far latest but this is his distance. He ran a 113 speed figure in that win and must pose a threat. Second place for me.
FOREST AGENT A bit of a veteran now and has been running respectably in stakes races. Looked outclassed in a recent grade III and will find this tough. Not today.
GOODBYE DANEHILL This is his distance as his latest win shows- but that was in allowance company. Looks too far up in class here. Wooden spoon contender.
VERDICT- 1/ ORANGE SWIRL 2/ XREMELY FAN 3/LEVEN SEVENTY WON
