10 horses have entered this weeks stakes race here at Epsom.\u00a0 The seven furlong turf course can often be a make-or-break race for runners who performed badly last time, or simply a sharpening up excercise for others, so finding a winner can be tough.\u00a0 It’s a distance which sees the coming together of sprinters and milers, many of whom may not have raced over this distance since being a 2yo – and sometimes never at all – so the bookies tend to struggle as badly as their punters. Whatever the result most trainers here will blame the distance and put any bad runs behind them with a wry smile.\u00a0 As for seven furlong specialist, they seem to be a rare breed who simply don’t get enough of these races.\u00a0 The betting is:\u00a0\u00a0 <\/P>

Analysis<\/STRONG><\/U><\/P>
Trainer: awhisper
(Indian Ridge(IRE) x Buckaroo x Exclusive Native)
<\/STRONG>This weeks favourite is a 5yo from Whisper Stables<\/STRONG> who has just 4 wins from his 25 starts.\u00a0 He broke his maiden on dirt as a 2yo but didn’t win a stakes race until the back end of his 4yo season, so he looks to be a late developer.\u00a0 Ran well in his first run this year for a 2nd spot in an EAAA Division restricted race and will be looking to make this his year.\u00a0 <\/P>
Trainer: brundlefly
(High Chaparral (IRE) x Seeking The Gold x Danzig)
<\/STRONG>An experienced 6yo campaigner from Brundlefly Stables<\/STRONG> who has 43 runs and 15 wins under his belt.\u00a0 Based on a reasonable D class horse he managed a G3 win as a 4yo but, apart from one poor run a few races back, seems to have found some form of late.\u00a0 Not had too much success here at Epsom so will be trying to set the record straight.<\/P>
Trainer: irt
(A.P. Indy x Daylami (IRE) x Saint Balladoo)
<\/STRONG>A 5yo from Iant Stables<\/STRONG> and bred as a 3yo from an F class mare this horse has mostly been aimed at Graded races of late and has scored two G2 successes so far.\u00a0 Usually an out-and-out front running sprinter, he ran a bad race by his high standards last time which is why he has dropped down in class for this race, and connections will be hoping he does as well at 7 furlongs as he did as a 3yo.\u00a0 He probably wont win this but it could set him up for his next race nicely.<\/P>
Trainer: browns
(Crafty Prospector x Storm Cat x Relkino(GB))
<\/STRONG>An interesting looking 4yo from Ace Stables – Ireland Division<\/STRONG> who has won 4 of his 18 runs so far.\u00a0 Bred from an H class dam who only ran three times, most of his racing has been on dirt before his trainer was pleasantly surprised by his later turf performances.\u00a0 He was narrowly beaten into third by the favourite Buckridge Native(IRE)<\/STRONG> last time out and the extra half furlong here probably wont help him reverse those positions.\u00a0 <\/P>
<\/FONT>Trainer: bagur
(War Chant x Forty Niner x Sadler’s Wells)
<\/STRONG>A 4yo colt from Rafa Stables<\/STRONG> based on a successful 4 times G1 winning B class horse.\u00a0 This colt doesn’t quite seem to be in that class just yet and ran disappointedly last time out, though he did finish in front of A Saints Day<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 A more than capable sprinter on his day but he probably would have preferred a muddy course in order to win here.\u00a0 <\/P>
<\/FONT>Trainer: testcase4
(Rahy x A.P.Indy x Fappiano)
<\/STRONG>A 5yo from Mia and Ben Acres<\/STRONG> who has won 8 races from his 29 starts after being bred from an A class dam. He is probably the closest thing we have to a 7\/7.4 furlong horse in the field and after his last two disappointing sprint races will be expected to do much better here.\u00a0 His consistency is rather a worry though, so probably not one to put your house on.<\/P>
Trainer: safbred
(Storm Boot x Not For Love x Affirmed)
The SAF Connection<\/STRONG> send out this experienced 6yo who has 15 wins from 47 races.\u00a0 Bred by deputysam<\/EM> he changed hands in claimers a couple of times as a 3yo before finding his winning ways with his present trainer.\u00a0 He was well beaten by both Buckridge Native(IRE)<\/STRONG> and He’s Crafty(KY)<\/STRONG> in his last race and is a hard one to like in this race.<\/P>
Trainer: worldbeatr
(War Chant x Gone West x Affirmed)
<\/STRONG>A 7yo from Gatetowire Stables<\/STRONG> from an active F class dam.\u00a0 Yet to win a stakes race and although he comes here after two allowance victories he doesn’t seem to look too much of a threat here.<\/P>
<\/FONT>Trainer: inzy6
(Diablo x War Emblem x Dixieland Band)
<\/STRONG>A 4yo filly from Flurgen Stables<\/STRONG> from a G class mare who isn’t afraid to take on the boys.\u00a0 Although she seems to like the 7 furlong distance she will need to be at her best to make much headway in this field.<\/P>
<\/FONT>Trainer: be10der2me
(Geri x Danehill x Seattle Slew)
<\/STRONG>A 7yo from MaNature TB’s ‘Organic & Homegrown’ <\/STRONG>and bred from a G class dam. A useful allowance type but looks to be out of his depth here.<\/P>
