B g Literato (FR) - Saga d’Ouilly (FR) (Linamix (FR))

Br Mr Christopher Mahoney S Bluegrass Horse Feeds, Diamond

TIMEFORM VIEW Solid return for new yard when third at Newcastle (10.2f) in June and similar form despite taking a strong hold when midfield in 13-runner York handicap (10.2f) 2 weeks ago. On a workable mark on balance and he’s not had many tries at this sort of trip. Interesting.

2 TYPICAL WOMAN (GB) (21)

Ch f Nathaniel (IRE) - Just Like A Woman (Observatory (USA))

TIMEFORMVIEW Ran well in handicaps over C&D/Southwell and capitalised on career-low mark to open account in handicaps at Haydock (11.6f) 3 weeks ago. In the mix again with a repeat.

TIMEFORM VIEW Pretty useful at best on Flat earlier in career but established as modest over hurdles/fences more recently for Charlie Longsdon. Not the easiest to weigh up returning to the level for new yard. STEWARDS NOTE: Following its run on 5/7/2023 it was reported that the horse landed awkwardly at first fence. TFRHHIII

TIMEFORMVIEW Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Last of 7 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 15 days ago (following wind op), pushed along 3f out and plugging on. Eased further in weights ahead of this but he’s hard to catch right. TFRHHHII

TIMEFORM VIEW Dual winner at Doncaster last term and, having eased in weights she ran well to finish runner-up back at that venue (11.9f) on penultimate start. Subsequent run at Chester was a disappointing one but no surprise to see her bounce back returning from 6 weeks off. TFRHHHII

TIMEFORM VIEW Successful on AW earlier this year and scored twice on turf subsequently, coming from a long way back for the latest of them at Epsom (12f) 3 weeks ago. Had little racing at this trip but 5lb higher mark demands more up in class. TFRHHHII

TIMEFORM VIEW Flat/hurdles winner who needed a little cajoling at times but ran up to best when second of 8 in handicap at Chester (12.3f) 12 days ago, steady headway from 2f out and nearest at the finish. Each-way claims if replicating that here.

Race Summary: A dual winner from higher marks last term, SAGAUTEUR has made a solid start for Rebecca Menzies, keeping on for fifth in a stronger affair at York (10.2f) 2 weeks ago. Still lightly raced at this sort of trip, he could just be worth chancing to come out on top. Haydock scorer Typical Woman and Charlie Arthur are others to consider Bookmark isn’t out of things either
