RACE STATS RACE SUMMARY

There was plenty of encouragement to be taken from the way I GIORNI shaped in a first-time hood at Wincanton 15 days ago and, with further improvement on the cards now venturing into handicaps, she’s put forward as the selection. Crem Fresh is sure to be on the premises if backing up her comeback run, while Hazy Dream also merits consideration dropping back in trip

RACE SUMMARY

CHARLES ST evidently isn’t one for maximum faith but he’s been found a race seriously lacking in depth so his resolve may not be fully tested. He can get off the mark, likely at the chief expense of Jikala and Just Over Land

RACE SUMMARY

KESTREL VALLEY remains well weighted after a 6lb rise for her easy Ludlow win and can make it 2-2 for Kerry Lee. Old rival Born At Midnight is unlikely to be far away again, while Jigginstown King and Emorelle are a couple of others to keep an eye on.
