PLAY SMARTER

FINN LOUGH appeals as the sort to really kick on now he’s gone handicapping and he can build on his excellent Stratford runner-up effort and go one better Jaxonne also looks to have better days ahead of him and rates a big threat now he is away from the mud after his strong-travelling Southwell second. Could Be Trouble, Lone Star and Spot On Soph are others to consider in a competitive handicap

A chance is taken on Dan Skelton hurdle debutante HAPPY PLACE, who was placed on the Flat last year for her previous stable Smooth Transition and Tactical Control are other likely types among the hurdle newcomers, while Kaaress may prove best of the 4 who contested the opening juvenile hurdle of the season at Hexham at the start of the month.

FAZAYTE signalled he’s ready to go in again when an excellent recent Stratford third so this course winner looks the way to go Sedgefield-victor Leading Force is feared most despite taking a 5lb rise for that success, although both Hall Lane and Tupelo Mississippi can have a say too in a competitive handicap

GREAT SAMOURAI benefited from a positive ride at Huntingdon last time and he boasts excellent claims of making all once more. Gower Prince had a stiff task last time but impressed on his chasing debut priorto that, so he’s another big player, while Stormin Crossgales is a danger if he turns up in the same mood as at Huntingdon last month.

Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No 7, 9. Running for the first time since Wind Surgery No 8. Stewards Note:

MATTIE ROSS: Following its run on 18/5/2024 it was reported that the horse lost a shoe.

IDEAL DE ROMAY: Following its run on 6/6/2024 it was reported that the horse was never travelling.

Probable S.P’s: 3-1 Etoile Brillante (IRE), 11-2 Mattie Ross (GB), 7-1 Clatterbridge (IRE), 8-1 Coilrock (IRE), 17-2 Kapamazov (GB), Fantomas (FR), 20-1 Moro Rock (IRE), 22-1 Blended Stealth (GB), 28-1 Belladinotte (IRE), 33-1 Mrs Kinsella (IRE), 40-1 Ideal de Romay (FR)

ETOILE BRILLIANTE did well to make up a lot of ground late when landing a steadily-run event at Warwick recently and she’s fancied to make it two from two for this yard Clatterbridge is another last-time-out winner who deserves respect and Coilrock can feature if the headgear continues to have a positive effect.
