The Children’s Air Ambulance helicopters complete journeys 4x faster than those taken by road, reducing the risk of further complications and helping to save lives.

The aircrafts contain enhanced technical equipment needed to safely transfer patients to receive the vital care they need, or if our patients are too sick to travel, the Children’s Air Ambulance take the specialist teams and equipment to them

Donations, however small, could help save a child’s life. For more information about the charity or to find out how you can help please visit:

The market should prove highly informative but Michael Bell’s Havana Grey filly QUEEN’S GUARD catches the eye on paper and holds a Lowther entry so is taken to make a winning debut at the chief expense of Snafiya, who showed fair form for George Boughey and now starts out for her new yard with plenty to recommend her Other debutantes Roman Secret and Glitterella are in good hands and worth a market check too.

The step up to 7f should suit STRAIGHT A who is selected to add to last month’s Yarmouth success The fact that Chiefman went off at 5/4 forhis debut suggests he’swell regarded and it would be no surprise tosee him leavethat opening run behind and provide the chief threat. Tasmanian Legend is another who could improve plenty with an outing under his belt, while MagnaVega is a newcomer to keep a close eye on in the betting given DannyTudhope has a 4-9 record for theTom Clover yard in 2023.

RACE SUMMARY

GAME SET is the one here who could prove better than a handicapper The only 3-y-o in the field and a winner over C&D on debut, he should prove more than a match for his rivals and can remain unbeaten. Sir Thomas Gresham looks the main danger, ahead of the admirable Maywake.

RACE STATS

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): R Hannon (36 wins from 284 runners, 13%) runs GRAHAM

TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): D O’Meara (13 wins from 60 runners, 22%) runs OWNERS DREAM

LONGEST TRAVELLER: LATIN VERSE trained by R Beckett, Kimpton Down, 212 miles.

GRAHAM is going the right way and was comfortably on top of the remainder when second at Newbury last time, so he’s fancied to go one better despite the presence of Baileys Khelstar, who looks similarly progressive. Latin Verse was better than the result on his latest outing and shouldn’t be completely dismissed
