THE TIMEFORM VIEW Preference is for NANOSCIENCE, who continued her progress when third on handicap debut at Newmarket last month and remains low mileage. The consistent Hilltop and likely improver Borjina head the list of dangers. TIMEFORM PREDICTION:
at Wetherby Racecourse we are committed to minimising risks, dealing quickly and humanely with injuries, and maintaining the highest possible quality of life for the animals in our care. At every meeting we have three specially qualified Equine Vets appointed to look after the welfare of all horses in action. There is also a British Horseracing Authority Veterinary Officer in attendance. During the race, three vets follow the action from the centre of the course and can attend to a horse in the same response time as the Paramedic Teams responsible for treating the injured jockeys. It is standard policy that in the event of a horse requiring veterinary treatment whilst on site, screens will be erected round the horse. It is designed to afford the vet and the patient some privacy. Please do not assume the worst. HORSE WELFARE by

THE TIMEFORM VIEW MRS TRUMP hasn’t shown much yet this year but now drops markedly in grade and a much better effort can be expected back up slightly in trip. Sir Benedict is knocking on the door and will be in the mix granted a clear run, while Dragon God will find a race for his shrewd yard soon enough.

THE TIMEFORM VIEW A tricky finale to solve but the vote goes to DATA FATA SECUTUS, who ran her best race when third at Redcar 10 days ago and first-time headgear may well eke out that bit extra from Rebecca Menzies’ filly Heading up the dangers is Ellie’s de Vega, who shaped as though still in good form when fourth at Ripon last month (race has already produced a couple of next-time-out winners). Northern Tempest and Powernap can fight out minor honours.
