Forecast:

1.25 ECHO POINT (IRE); 3.50 DIRHAM EMIRATI (IRE); 4.00 LAOS (FR); 10.00 GLENTANEOUS (IRE); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.

Preview:

Those with previous race experience do not set a high standard so preference is for ECHO POINT, who represents a yard in top form right now. The son of Dubawi is out of a mare who won over a mile and she is from the family of Nathaniel and Great Heavens. Dirham Emirati cost 55,000gns as a yearling and he is closely related to plenty of winners, while Laos is another to note.

Preview:

VIA SERENDIPITY was beaten just a length in a Listed race over C&D two starts ago and he only found one too good off this mark when last seen at Lingfield. A reproduction of either of those performances would give him a big chance this evening. Almodovar failed to fire last time but he is a player based on his encouraging comeback performance before that. Starshiba won over 7f here nine days ago but a 5lb penalty will make his life tougher today, while Born To Be Alive has an each-way chance.

Preview:

Plenty of these have claims but the marginal preference is for TORBELLINO, who hit the crossbar over C&D last time and she can race off the same mark this evening. Plansina is only 2lb above the rating she last won off despite filling second place here nine days ago and should not be underestimated. The shortlist is completed by Beauty Stone, Ruby Red Empress and City Escape.

Preview:

PRECISION STORM ran on well to record a comfortable victory at Wolverhampton last week and could prove tough to pass under a 5lb penalty if in the same form here. No Nay Bella was disappointing over 10 furlongs at Chelmsford last time, but before that was a back-to-back winner over course and distance and could appreciate the return to this venue. The consistent Party Island got on the scoresheet when upped in trip at Lingfield last month and is also considered as he tries an extra furlong here.

Preview:

BATRAAN got off the mark with ease when making all at Southwell last month and it is interesting that Roger Varian's Camacho colt is pitched straight into the handicap ranks. He could be much better than a mark of 76 suggests and is likely to fight this out with the front-running Twilight Madness. Simon Hodgson's son of Twilight Son took a really keen hold when never passed over course and distance last week and has to be taken seriously carrying a 6lb penalty. Others who could get involved are the consistent maiden Dashing Dick and Karl Burke's recent Newcastle third, Kevin The Minion.

Preview:

FUTURISTIC was touched off by a head over 6f at Newcastle last time and is expected to take a 2lb rise in his stride and gain compensation now stepping back up to 7f. Asdaa lost little in defeat when beaten by a neck over the extended mile at Wolverhampton last time and will appreciate this drop in distance, while Espresso Freddo usually gives his running here and could be keeping on well at the finish now cutting back in trip.

1.63 HERON (USA); 4.50 WEMYSS POINT; 5.00 TINSMITH; 8.00 DISTINGO (IRE); 10.00 MISSCARLETT (IRE); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.

Preview:

Heron arrives on the back of two 1m6f victories at Southwell and has an obvious chance if he can build on those performances now switching surface and stepping up to this longer trip. Preference, though, is for WEMYSS POINT, who ran his best race for some time when runner-up over 2m at Lingfield last week and has now dropped 8lb lower than his last winning (turf) mark. Tinsmith offered more at the Surrey venue last time, too, and is another to note.
