Forecasts

Out Of The Flames (2/7), Ellthea (6/1), Darkanna (7/1), Listen Alexander (12/1), Kodiac Express (14/1), Axe Cap (16/1), Hollie's Dream (20/1), Rue Cambon (20/1), Sunset Flyer (33/1), Roses In June (40/1)

Verdict

A few of the newcomers are bred to handle these conditions with Rue Cambon the standout on pedigree but appealing as the type to need further. Axe Cap comes from a yard that have a few speedy types so a market move would be significant given his half-sister handled soft ground well. It often pays to side with experience at this time of year when conditions are on the easy side and OUT OF THE FLAMES is hard to oppose from a form perspective having gone down in a tight finish on her Ascot debut. She was sent off favourite that day for a contest in which a couple of experienced runners who set a good standard were in mid-division. Her sire's progeny handle cut underfoot and she will be hard to beat having bypassed a tougher engagement at Sandown later in the week to come here. Listen Alexander shaped well on her debut at Ripon. David Evans' filly is bred to want further but her stable do well with this age group here and it would be no surprise to see her goclose.
