the prophet

Just two starts over fences for the unexposed 5yo youngster. Possible excuses five weeks ago. A nice run on his chase debut in early March when beaten just 3L and clear of the rest. The winner that day has since run a big race off a 14 lb higher mark. The selection is still on the same attractive mark.

The 4-yo was a good 7f C/D winner last summer and ran well in defeat later in the year, posting good RPR ratings. Attractive mark on his return from a five-month break, good low draw, and trainer Richard Hughes sent out two winners on Monday.

PSG take a one-goal lead into the 2nd leg, and the game could set up nicely for them. The longer Bayern fail to score, the more risks they'll have to take, and PSG will get the gaps. PSG had 5 shots on target in the 1st leg and scored 5 goals.

Three career runs for the 4yo filly. Two decent runs over this 7f C/D this year in maiden races, giving plenty of weight away to some useful-looking 3yo runners. Decent opening handicap mark and plenty of room for more improvement.

Decent form from the 5-year-old mare in the second half of last year. Good ratings and still on a good mark. She's had a nice break since December. I feel the booking of a good 5 lb claiming apprentice could suggest she's been showing good things at home.

Consistent 4yo, first or second in 7 of 10 races. In good shape, a joint career-high RPR rating on the AW in his last race seven weeks ago. Turf form reads 2212. Every chance in this handicap off his current mark.

Unexposed 4yo who could go well on his handicap debut after coming off a seven-month break. Beaten just 2L in two of his three starts and beaten by runners rated 84 and 91 in those narrow defeats. He was giving 5 lb to the 84-rated winner. Room for improvement and a handy 72 rating. Rossa Ryan is a positive jockey booking, trusted by the yard: 19 winners for them and a 17% strike rate.

Six runs overseas for the 5yo mare before joining this yard at the start of last year. Her debut for the yard was on the flat, but she has been over hurdles since. She has found some form this winter: a narrow defeat followed by two very large-margin victories over hurdles, and she has ability. Back on the flat now with a low 54 mark, another 5 lb taken off by a good apprentice, and she might be well in at the weights.
