16:12 Wetherby — Malvern Castle And Compass Hospitality Handicap model predictions

Ciao Capo (IRE)

0%

1m AW winner; first turf win when upped to 1m2f at Beverley (good to firm) in May; 3lb rise suggests he is still well treated; big player.

Rogue Desire (FR)

0%

Showed some promise on debut when third at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) but took a couple of backward steps since then; tongue-tie fitted for stable debut; perhaps best watched.

Stepanov (IRE)

0%

Peak effort came when second on his second start at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) in March; has not proved as effective since, including on handicap debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good to soft) latest; drops 2lb and is on a competitive mark if able to return to his best.

Sovereign Bright (GB)

0%

0-9; best effort came as a juvenile when a close second at Doncaster (7f, good to firm; RPR 70); placed four times since and is slipping back to a more competitive mark; well below par latest but each-way player on best efforts.

Skirt Around (USA)

0%

Showed a degree of promise in a fillies' novice event at Newcastle on her third start (7f, AW); may have needed last month's handicap debut after a break, when upped to 1m2f at the same track (nibbled at in the market); drops 3lb; Oisin Murphy booked; check the market for further clues.

Haltonwood (IRE)

0%

Unplaced in four starts but minor promise when beaten under 3l on his handicap debut at Doncaster (1m, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) latest; up 1lb; step up in trip looks a positive and he wouldn't need a huge amount of improvement to get involved; each-way player.

Dalamara (GB)

0%

1m AW winner last December when 4lb lower; has bettered that effort in defeat on both subsequent starts on turf; step up in trip could help tease out a bit of improvement; each-way player.

Riddikulus (GB)

0%

Unplaced in six starts and only moderate form; others preferred.
