Star Ahoy⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 80| D

11/8

Well-bred son of Sea The Stars shaped with promise over 1m this term when in the frame in Yarmouth maiden and Newmarket novice before getting off the mark in workmanlike fashion in a Pontefract maiden (10f, good to soft, 8/13) 71 days ago. Not taken lightly on handicap debut.

Form: 7-431

Goldsborough^h1⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 80

11/2

Left debut form well behind when making second start a winning one at Goodwood in May but went off a big price and looked a hard ride when only thirteenth of 15 on his handicap debut there 48 days ago. Hood now goes on.

Ashtanga¹⁰⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: S M Levey| T: M Meade| OR: 79

11/1

Looked a useful prospect when winning the second of her 2 starts as a juvenile but hasn't yet built on that promise this season, albeit facing a stiff task in listed company on her return and possibly finding quick ground unsuitable at Newbury last time. Others still preferred on balance, though.

Form: 31-56

New Dayrell^h¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Shepherd| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 77| CD

6/1

Seen to good effect under front-running tactics when making all over C&D last month but hasn't been able to replicate that form in stiffer company on his last 2 outings. Ease in grade rates as a plus but his record is patchy enough on balance.

Form: 667196

In The Trenches¹¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: K P De Foy| OR: 77

13/2

Showed improved form stepped up in trip when second of 6 on handicap debut at Chepstow (10f, good to firm, 5/2) 110 days ago. Has another break to overcome, but he could still have more to offer and he's not taken lightly.

Form: 034-2

Miller Spirit^p1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 76

5/1

Still looked a work in progress on his first start after being gelded when fifth of 8 in handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, good to firm, 9/1) 13 days ago. Place claims if cheekpieces have a positive effect.

Forecasts

Star Ahoy (11/8), Born Ruler (11/4), Miller Spirit (5/1), Goldsborough (11/2), New Dayrell (6/1), Outgun (6/1), In The Trenches (13/2), Miss Dolly Rocker (7/1), Ashtanga (11/1)

BORN RULER has the look of a typical Sir Mark Prescott improver and he's fancied to supplement last week's C&D success under a penalty. Star Ahoy didn't need to improve to get off the mark at Pontefract last time and is much respected now switched into handicap company, whilst Outgun and In The Trenches both possess positive profiles and shouldn't be ruled out.
