Race Summary

LA PULGA was only narrowly denied over this trip at Pontefract latest and Charlie Johnston's inmate is taken to benefit from a drop in class here Although he has to shoulder top-weight, he bolted up over 1m 5f at Hamilton two starts back leaving the impression there is a lot more to come. Vega Sicilia sports first-time blinkers following a good second at York and is feared most, while Andaleep also makes some appeal.

SO SLEEPY:Following its run on 21/9/2022 it was reported that the horse ran too freely

Race Summary

Desperate Hero scored with plenty to spare at Windsor recently and a 6lb penalty may not be enough to halt him, but slight preference is for SPARTAN ARROW after he caught the eye when failing to get a clear run in a decent contest over 6f at the same course. A Brighton maiden winner last month, Simon & Ed Crisford's colt looks capable of better and he could deliver on that promise with a clear passage. Woolhampton completes the shortlist.

Race Summary

ANOTHER RUN boasts as good a chance as any on the basis that he comes here on the back of a career-best effort at Doncaster Andrew Balding's colt was denied narrowly in handicap company on that occasion and might have more to offer going up in trip on just his third start on turf. Midnight Lion boasts a similar profile and represents Charlie Johnston's in-form yard, while Seahouses and Art De Vivre are also expected to go well.

Win: ANOTHER RUN

Danger: Midnight Lion
