3:37 Kempton Tips

100,000 gns yearling. Good 4th behind a smart prospect here over 1m on debut, then backed that up with a win at Chelmsford over 7f. Now switched to handicaps but looks to be running off a good mark and has a nice chance here today.

A great trainer/jockey combo of Boughey/Loughnane, and the horse comes into form for this race. The track bias will also be suitable for her run style.

In a small field (5 runners) on all-weather typically more consistent than turf and with the surface described as Satandard to Slow, races like this are often decided by weight and position, not by 'traffic luck. The market is pricing Yachtsman as a rank outsider at 11, yet his recent profile suggets he´s mucj¿h closer to the level required: he was a solid third of wight at Wolverhampton, only 2 1/4 lengths down in a handicap, and he now sports a first-time tongue-tie a genuine potential marginal upgrade rather than mere storyline. Stay Salty is a recent 7f winner, but he's fully seen by the market and carries top weight (9-9). Lady Dora Mae won last time over 1m; dropping back to 7f can blunt that advantage, again under 9-9. Saxon Prince is still unplaced after four starts he needs to prove the step forward arrives today. Dance Fantasy remains a maiden and her latest third was well held (beaten 5l), so improvement is required Yachtsman carries 9-3 (a notable weight edge versus the top pair) and is partnered by Daniel Muscutt a rider well suited to these controlled, tactital AW contests.
