The Fingal Raven¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-11| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J A Osborne| OR: 88| D

7/4

Tall colt who showed improved form to get off the mark in 13-runner novice at Kempton (7f) 17 days ago, travelling well and leading 2f out. May do better still and has strong claims under a penalty.

Form: 381

(11)

Al Samed¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas

14/1

Well-bred son of Dubawi who could hardly have shown any less on his recent debut at Ascot. Should be capable of better.

Form: 9

(7)

Navid¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: T E Whelan| T: Harry Charlton

25/1

Just modest form in 3 runs so far and is almost certainly one for handicaps over further.

Form: 770

Forecasts

The Fingal Raven (7/4), Stem (5/2), Shiplake (4/1), Oceans Five (10/1), Al Samed (14/1), Tequila Star (16/1), President Wilson (20/1), Navid (25/1), Secret Mission (33/1), Prince Of Joy (33/1), Downcliffe Flyer (66/1)

THE FINGAL RAVEN left his previous efforts behind when opening his account in decisive fashion at Kempton 17 days ago and, with his physique pointing towards further improvement, he looks up to defying a penalty. Stem and Shiplake are a pair of interesting newcomers who require close market scrutiny.
