DECLARED RUNNERS 7

2023: SYMPHORINE (FR) 5 11 12 Jamie Moore 2-1 (Gary Moore) 10 ran Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn first time by No 2, 7. Tongue Strap worn by No 1, 6, 7. Stewards Note:

SISTER JULIENNE: Following its run on 12/4/2024 it was reported that the horse jumped the road crossing. Probable S.P’s: 15-8 Therapist (GB), 4-1 Billams Legacy (GB), 9-2 Obsessedwithyou (FR), 8-1 Well Done Dani (GB), 11-1 Lady Gwen (GB), 16-1 Sister Julienne (GB), 20-1 Addosh (GB)

None of these can be ruled out but it’s still impossible to ignore the claims of Southwell scorerTHERAPISTwho still looks ahead of her mark despite taking a 7lb rise here. Billams Legacy could be set to extend her sequence of second placings to six, with Lady Gwen, Obsessedwithyou and Well Done Dani all in the mix too.

BARBAROSA: Following its run on 2/5/2024 it was reported that the horse reared and was slowly away

GOLDEN MOONSHAKE: Following its run on 26/3/2024 it was reported that the horse was hampered by a faller

Probable S.P’s: 4-6 Mostly Sunny (IRE), 10-3 United Front (USA), 10-1 Midnight Lion (GB), 12-1 Sunset In Paris (IRE), 66-1 Jack The Law (GB), Vivid Pink (GB), 80-1 Bristol Hill (IRE), 100-1 Natchez Trace (GB), 200-1 Barbarosa (IRE), Golden Moonshake (IRE), Saved Lizzie (GB)

MOSTLY SUNNY’s achievements on the Flat don’t quite match those of United Front but the 5-y-o already has a run under his belt in this sphere, and it was a very promising effort, too, at Southwell where he probably would’ve run out a convincing winner but for a bad mistake at the final flight. It will be interesting to see what the market makes of United Front and he is clear second choice ahead of Midnight Lion and Sunset In Paris.

PLAY SMARTER

CALVIC might have been stretched by the longer trip here last month so is worth another chance to confirm the promise of his C&D win. Iron Heart is going through a good spell at the moment and is the obvious threat.
