Startling

9st 9lb

J: Jason Hart

T: John Wainwright

Down the field on her seasonal/stable debut in May but she has run well in defeat since, including when a close second over C&D 12 days ago; runs off the same mark today and she won't need much improvement for the addition of blinkers to play a leading role.

OR: 56

Form & Verdict
Triple AW winner who scored on turf (5f, good) in June but his form has gone the wrong way in three subsequent runs; has something to prove and he needs a major revival after a laboured effort at Catterick last time.

Got off the mark on turf at Musselburgh in June; not so good twice since and he has a double-figure draw to defy this time.

J: Tom Eaves

Three-time Wolverhampton winner who finally broke his duck on turf off 3lb lower a month ago (went close over C&D previously); things didn't pan out his way at Catterick last time and he's one to consider.

3 yo Filly

OR: 56

Form & Verdict
Progressive 3yo who has won three of her five starts, including with a strong finish at Lingfield (5f, AW) 12 days ago; that was a last-gasp success, but she showed a fine attitude and still looks feasibly treated off her revised mark; big player.

Has mostly been in good nick on turf this summer, winning at Ripon and Beverley; needs to transfer that form to AW (first six races of her career were on AW) but looks a player if she can.

Got off the mark when scoring over C&D (good) last month; met trouble in running subsequently at Musselburgh but resumed winning ways at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 13 days ago; looks a potent force while in this class and may well go in again.

Sole win from 23 starts came in a Beverley seller last May when trained by David Evans; made some late gains in a classified event at Redcar last month but he's hard to predict and others are more convincing.

J: Darragh Keenan

T: Derek Shaw

Belied 50-1 odds and put in fairly good front-running shift when third of six in this grade at Wolverhampton (5f, AW; refitted hood) last week, his second start for Derek Shaw; also suited by turf but others appeal more all the same.

Form & Verdict
Some creditable efforts in handicaps and classified events this year, but he's finished down the field in last four starts including a heavy defeat at Wolverhampton last time; losing run is now up to 18 and others are preferred.

Betting Forcast

11/4 Startling, 8/1 Invincible Crown, 15/8 What A Tahoo, 3/1 Gwen Tennyson, 16/1 Bust A Moon, 10/1 Poetic Jack, 13/2 Mimime

Verdict

Startling has finished runner-up off this mark in four of her last five starts and she’s respected along with Gwen Tennyson, who was an eye-catching third at Musselburgh ten days ago. However, the vote goes to the Faheys’ progressive 3yo WHAT A TAHOO, who has won three of her last five starts and did well to reel in some rivals who raced more prominently at Lingfield last time.[David Moon]
