Leg 1 Selections: Lion’s Dream, Golden Mayflower 

LION’S DREAM won on his debut at Chelmsford and has gone close in his last two starts. He is drawn wide but his rider has been in scintillating form for a while, so Mick Appleby’s charge should be on the premises at the business end here. 

Of the remainder, GOLDEN MAYFLOWER has also knocked on the door the last two times with a pair of seconds and is next best being Amy Murphy’s only runner on the card, which alone makes her of interest besides her current good form.

Leg 2 Selections: Relentless Voyager 

This race should present RELENTLESS VOYAGER with an excellent opportunity to make it third time lucky after two seconds. 

Andrew Balding’s charge made a subsequent Group 1 winner pull out the stops on debut before pushing another above-average type close over course-and-distance last time. He should prove very difficult to beat in leg two.

Leg 3 Selections: Tipperary Moon, Arctician

A competitive race for leg three. However, TIPPERARY MOON defied this mark at Newmarket last July and has caught the eye in his two recent runs at this level. From the same mark, he could be about to strike. 

ARCTICIAN was marginally denied by a course specialist last-time-out and would only need to reproduce his latest second to run another big race.

Leg 4 Selections: Amy Santiago, Danger Alert, Celtic Champion 

AMY SANTIAGO came from well off the pace to to score at Southwell last time and, with the prospect of more to come, Richard Fahey’s charge should be competitive. 

DANGER ALERT has been really consistent so far in his career and although he is a tad exposed compared to a few others, he has the services of William Buick which helps. CELTIC CHAMPION beat the former last time and is also included as cover.

Leg 5 Selections: Diamond Bay, Pons Aelius

DIAMOND BAY needs a strong pace to be seen effect and that is a possibility here. He is only two pounds above his last winning mark and won on his last start over this distance. He is an outsider that might be worth consideration.

PONS AELIUS beat the 97-rated Rainbow Dreamer in good style here last time and while an outside draw makes life tricky for this prominent racer, Charlie Johnston’s improving individual has to be repeated.

Leg 6 Selections: Lion Ring, Calin’s Lad 

LION RING let us down for a decent return last week, so I’m hoping he can recoup the loss with a big performance in the leg six providing we get to the final race. This Irish raider gets a seven pounds claimer, which technically puts him in this race off a tiny weight. I’ll be disappointed if he cannot go close to winning this contest. 

CALIN’S LAD has gone close several times off this mark and now connections have turned to Rossa Ryan to do the steering, which is a major positive. He is only two pounds above his last winning mark and has made the frame in his last four starts. He is a model of consistency and should again be thereabouts at the finish.
