Rod Gaskin Garden Machinery Handicap
Prediction Leader
Solar Aclaim (IRE)
0%
Sprinter who is happiest on slow ground and gave some encouragement returned to 6f on soft at Epsom yesterday, where he finished mid-division having been squeezed out at the start; 4lb lower than for his last win.
Rest of field
Mister Bluebird (GB)
0%
10lb higher than when making all in the corresponding race 12 months ago; two runner-up finishes over 7f, one of them here, this spring; weakened into midfield over 7f at Epsom on Friday; will need a career best to win this race for a second time.
Toyotomi (FR)
0%
Good third off this mark at Thirsk (6f, good) last week, doing best of those drawn in single figures and that despite meeting some trouble in running; has plenty of form on soft in France; one to take seriously.
Seven Questions (IRE)
0%
Ended a two-year barren spell when getting up late in a 5f handicap here 16 days; 3lb higher mark to deal with but he has a Group 3 win on his record and conditions won't faze him; respected.
Brosay (GB)
0%
Won 6f handicaps at Windsor and Ascot last summer; dropped down the weights in defeat this season but there have been glimmers of promise and ground softer than good will be of benefit; ran no sort of race at Carlisle eight days ago (in cheekpieces) but his usual blinkers are back on today; Oisin Murphy booked; interesting.
Jungle Drums (IRE)
0%
Generally struggled for this yard but the notable exception came when dead-heating at Chelmsford last October (6f, AW); beaten 19l at Doncaster on his return ten weeks ago; not a solid option.
Sturlasson (IRE)
0%
Did well for new yard last autumn, winning three times (5f, AW/good to soft), and he has run some solid races in defeat in 2026; this will be just his third run at 6f and others bring more pressing claims.
Sudden Flight (GB)
0%
Better on AW than turf but handicapped accordingly and he ran his best race on grass when third of seven at Windsor 13 days ago (good to firm); down the field in two runs on soft but his Ayr Silver Cup effort wasn't too bad; new cheekpieces could give him a lift.
Fleetwater (GB)
0%
Both wins at Windsor but she is effective elsewhere; runner-up in two of her three starts this year but she's back from nine weeks off and could prove vulnerable.
