At The Races

Carey Street shaped with promise at Redcar on his first run following a 75-day break, and he could be competitive in this contest. However, MISS ROULETTE gets the vote as although she has disappointed on her last two starts, she has shown signs that she could have the ability to go close in this company. Mark Johnston looks to have found her a good opportunity to break her maiden at the sixth time of asking, while Aradous may feature if he enjoys his first run on turf and can bounce back from an underwhelming performance at Newcastle.

EDWARD CORNELIUS made an impressive start to his career with an eye-catching victory at this venue in June, he could improve for that experience and, if that is the case, it would make him the one to beat. Lady Raeburn also showed plenty of promise on her debut at Hamilton and she is likely to improve with more pace to aim at in this contest, while Fast Response could appreciate the drop to 5f after showing good early speed over 6f in his last two starts.

It is usually prudent to take note of a Sir Mark Prescott runner in a handicap and if Bodyline can overcome a 10-month absence, he would be a live contender based on his performances last season. DARK JEDI probably sets the standard, though, as he won at Ripon in a quick time in a strong-looking race and he proved he stays this trip when second in the Old Borough Cup last season. If Glasses Up and Wise Eagle can reproduce the latest performances then they may also be involved.

In this competitive contest it may pay dividends to side with LORD RIDDIFORD, who comfortably dismissed a strong field of 12 at Goodwood last time out. Although he may want as much moisture in the ground as possible, he is 2lb well-in and could take all the beating. Jabbarockie failed to fire in Listed company on his latest outing and the return to a sounder surface should benefit. The eight-year-old must be taken seriously off top-weight, while Ornate is another to consider.

The handicapper has been loosening his grip on HAYADH after a lacklustre campaign, and he is given a chance to bounce back now sitting 5lb below his last winning mark. Should the eight-year-old fail to fire, Ugo Gregory may be able to pick up the pieces following a commanding win at Beverley last time out. Completing the shortlist is Gweedore, who is two from two over course and distance.

AMELIA R had been knocking on the door this season before an emphatic victory at Beverley last month where everything clicked. Up 4lb for that success, the daughter of Zoffany looks more than capable of going in again under similar conditions. The veteran Exchequer has won on two of his last three outings including over C&D so he is also worthy of respect, along with Beechwood Emily and Monaadhil.

HAIZOOM could be worth chancing on his first start for Keith Dagleish having moved from the Marcus Tregoning yard, for whom he won over 2f further at Sandown last month. The drop in trip shouldn't inconvenience the son of Sea The Stars and he appears more progressive than most. Dreams Unwind certainly has ability but it is hard to predict what filly will turn up, while G For Gabrial is a solid yardstick and must be considered.
