PLAY SMARTER

TURPIN GOLD was always holding on when making a winning debut for Tom Lacey (following 19 months off) at Plumpton earlier this month and he can follow up if in a similar vein of form here. Prince Quattro has ground to make up with Turpin Gold, but this is only his second start for the excellent James Owen yard who invariably do well with stable switchers, while Al Mootamarid could be the potential improver on handicap debut.

DECLARED RUNNERS 5 2024:ANOTHER DAYOUT(IRE) 6 11 5 SamTwiston-Davies 13-2 (Martin Keighley) 6 ran Tongue Strap worn first time by No 3. Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn first time by No 5. Tongue Strap worn by No 4.

Probable S.P’s: EVENS Ann d’Arabie (FR), 9-2 Generous Scorpion (GB), 5-1 Jessie Lightfoot (IRE), Lucky Rose (IRE), 50-1 Raindance Queen (IRE)

ANN D’ARABIE looks the most solid option on the back of her success in another small-field event here earlier this month, for which she’s gone up just 2lb She isn’t getting any younger and needs to bounce back, but Jessie Lightfoot is certainly capable of getting involved off this reduced mark and, if the change of scenery (debut for new yard) has the desired effect, she could emerge as the main danger ahead of Generous Scorpion.
