- Simply Me (New Approach (IRE))

TIMEFORM VIEW Ended 2022 with a pair of nursery wins and hasn’t done much wrong in 3 starts this season, most recently finding just one too good in a 14-runner York handicap (7f, good to firm). Winner of that race has gone again since and he’s a big player back at 1m off the same mark.

TIMEFORM VIEW Shaped well all 3 starts at 2 yrs and again when runner-up on return/handicap debut at Southwell (1m). Possibly didn’t stay 1 1/4m in Haydock maiden won by the potentially very smart Al Asifah (listed winner since) and worth a second look back down in trip/returned to handicap company.

TIMEFORM VIEW Winner of 6f Goodwood novice on second of her 3 starts as a 2-y-o, and reappearance second in a Windsor handicap represented a step forward. Perhaps the race came too soon back at Goodwood a couple of weeks later and she remains of interest. STEWARDS NOTE: Following its run on 5/5/2023 it was reported that the horse lost a shoe.

TIMEFORM VIEW Signs of ability on first of her 2 starts as a juvenile and improved when third to a pair of promising Godolphin fillies on return at Newmarket (7f, good) last month. Further progress could be on the cards now moving up in trip for this handicap debut. TFRHHHHI

TIMEFORM VIEW Successful sole start at 2 yrs in 7f Newmarket novice and shaped as though in need of the run when fourth on return at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in April. Needs to raise her game now handicapping but it’s entirely possible that she will do just that. TFRHHHII

TIMEFORM VIEW Related to numerous winners and made the frame on each of his 3 starts on the AW during the winter. However, he was out with the washing tackling turf for the first time on handicap debut at Sandown (1m, good) and needs to get back on track here. TFRHHIII

TIMEFORM VIEW Promising fourth in the Newmarket novice won by none other than Mawj on sole 2-y-o start. Reappearance effort on the AW was encouraging and while she failed to build on that at Carlisle (7f, good) next time, there could be better to come now upped to 1m for this handicap debut.

TIMEFORM VIEW Positives to glean from his 3 starts on the AW last year and it’s likely that he’ll be seen in a better light now venturing down the handicap route, albeit this particular race looks competitive Others preferred on this occasion. STEWARDS

TIMEFORM VIEW Gelded during the winter and improved when making a winning handicap for new yard at Bath in April. Appeared to find 1 1/4m on deep ground too much of an ask next time but better when sixth of 13 at Windsor (1m, good to firm) recently and he’s not without each-way hope. STEWARDS NOTE: Following its run on 29/5/2023 it was reported that the horse ran too freely TFRHHHII

TIMEFORM VIEW Showed a bit in a couple of Kempton maidens towards the end of 2022, and small step forward in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when fifth on return in 7f novice here (good) last month. More needed now pitched into a handicap. TFRHHIII

TIMEFORM VIEW Encouraging signs on his introduction at Nottingham in April and, though safely held both subsequent starts, he appears to have been brought along with handicaps in mind. Not discounted with start apprentice Billy Loughnane booked. STEWARDS

NOTE: Following its run on 25/5/2023 it was reported that the horse jumped awkwardly from the stalls. TFRHHIII

Italian Magic (IRE), 22-1 Outgun (GB), 28-1 Garrick Street (IRE), Believe You Me (IRE), 100-1 Chindwin (GB)

Race Summary: This looks very competitive and the suggestion is MONOPOLISE, who chased home the progressive Starnberg at York recently, form which the winner boosted when following up in good style at Nottingham last week. Achillea shouldn’t be underestimated and is next on the list ahead of Chealamy, Inverlochy and Johnjay.
