Prediction Leader

Major Neigh Sayer (IRE)

0%

Won a 7f novice as a 2yo and he was tried over 1m on his seasonal/handicap debut in April; dropped to 5f at Sandown nine days ago (tongue tied first time; well backed) and travelled well but met some trouble at a crucial stage; that race set up for the closers and this is a sharper test but he could well have more to offer as a sprinter; cheekpieces now added.

Rest of field

Lebron Power (GB)

0%

Won three times as a 2yo (5f and 6f, soft and good to firm); not so good in two runs this time around but this represents a drop in class and going back over 5f should be fine.

Merlier (IRE)

0%

Didn't have to match his earlier efforts to win a Beverley seller 25 days ago (5f, good to firm); this will demand much more and the addition of cheekpieces is not enough to tempt.

Kind Touch (IRE)

0%

Led late when making a winning debut at Ripon last August (5f, good to firm); beaten at odds-on at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) the following month but that form looks solid; gelded afterwards; brings clear potential to this handicap debut.

Arduis Invicta (IRE)

0%

She has performed with credit in stronger handicaps at Chester and York on her last two starts and can race off 2lb lower today; C&D winner; not discounted.

Mighty Magnus (IRE)

0%

Placed in two of his three starts this year, latterly when third at Thirsk six days ago on his return to 5f; fairly exposed and more minor money perhaps his best hope.

Dandy Breeze (IRE)

0%

Useful ability in three AW starts, including a 5f win, but he was 20-1 and never a threat switched to turf at Hamilton three weeks ago (6f, good); needs to bounce back quickly.

Justmyluck (GB)

0%

Made all in a 5f handicap at Newcastle in January but little to cheer in three runs since; risky.
