Ghaiyya

9st 7lb

J: Jack Mitchell

T: Charlie Johnston

Career-best form on her first three starts (1m4f, 1m5f and 1m3f handicaps) this season, two of them on good to firm, before she found a Listed race far too tough on latest outing; thereabouts if she bounces straight back.

5 yo Gelding

OR: 90

Form & Verdict
Won the Shergar Cup Stayers handicap over C&D last August and he was back to that level when second over 1m6f here (good to firm) a fortnight ago; remains on a competitive mark and needs respect.

8st 13lb

J: Kieran Shoemark

T: Dylan Cunha

Disappointed in this race last year and the form of his close third over C&D that September has not been matched; second of six at Ascot on penultimate start was his best show this term but he needs better than that.

4 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
Progressive sort who won four times last year and has kicked on again this term, landing a four-runner handicap at Lingfield (1m6f, good) in May and third of 20 under 5lb penalty in the Northumberland Plate (2m, AW; Kirchner second) four weeks ago; effectively on the same mark as last time; good chance.
