18/06/2021 16:06

1993m – Turf

1

Isle Of Sark

Respectable run in G3 at Leopardstown on second start then disappointing favourite in minor race at Cork. Tough task off top weight.

2

Pythagoras

Three time winner last year. Respectable sixth place in G2 Dante Stakes at York last month. A fair chance.

3

River Alwen

Won over this trip at Newmarket last month before well beaten third over same distance off today’s handicap mark. A tough task.

4

Visualisation

Progressive and won decent handicap at the Curragh last month. Best form on soft going. Good chance if enough rain.

5

Tamborrada

Good start to career, winning first three races, all over 2000m. Well behind up in grade last month. A tough task but not ruled out.

6

Alfaadhel

Impressive winner of decent novice race on all-weather track at Lingfield last month. Talented. Has to show as good on turf.

7

Baton Rouge

Improved this year but disappointing favourite in handicap over this trip at Navan last month. Needs to do better.

8

Sir Rumi

Well held by impressive Alfaadhel over this trip on Lingfield’s all-weather track last month but well clear of rest. Won at Haydock 10 days ago. Looks fairly handicapped. May need fast surface.

9

Fantastic Fox

Nicely bred. Good third in good maiden at Newbury in April then easily won ordinary maiden at Hamilton over 1662m. Will probably stay the trip and fair chance.

10

Foxes Tales

Narrowly win a decent maiden over 1600m at Newbury in April. Excuses when well beaten in Listed race over 2064m at Chester. Hard to assess.

11

King Frankel

Steadily improving. Good second – River Alwen and Tamborrada well beaten – in strong handicap over this trip at Newbury last month. Just beaten at Epsom two weeks ago when unsuited by track. A good chance.

12

Without Revenge

Big step forward when moved up to this trip and won fair handicap at Newmarket last month. Raised handicap mark a challenge but can be expected to improve. Decent chance.

13

Stay Well

Having won maiden easily at Windsor in April on fast ground, disappointing when well beaten over further on soft going in Listed race at Goodwood. A tough task.

14

Irish Legend

Won three races out of four but distant last in G3 at Sandown. An unlikely winner.

15

Glentaneous

Run well on all three outings, all over 1600m on all-weather tracks. Should stay the trip and not ruled out.

16

Dingle

Disappointing when well beaten favourite for decent handicap over 1600m at Sandown in April. Needs to improve.

 

Reserves

 

17

Seasett

Improved to win easily over 1700m at Nottingham and better again when runner-up over 1600m at Haydock. Well suited by soft ground. Should stay trip. Fair chance.

18

Possible Man

Just fair form when winning and runner-up in novice races before last of four over this trip in handicap at Sandown. Probably unsuited by soft ground.

19

Skycutter

Moved from France last month. Modest form there and a tough task.
