the prophet

Lightly raced 4yo filly. Below par two weeks ago, but she did get trapped out wide. She ran well in October/November, with a win and a narrow defeat. She ran well on her only previous visit to this track. Still on a decent mark. An amateur riders' handicap, and the jockey booking is a big positive.

Just six career starts for the 4yo. A little too keen five weeks ago, but he wasn’t beaten far in his two previous handicap starts. Still room for improvement. He has a nice low draw, a good jockey change, a reduced mark, and looks set for a big run.

Three career runs for this 4yo filly, three good RPR ratings posted in defeat ??" including a run over this 8f C/D. Eight subsequent winners have come out of those three races, so she’s been keeping decent company. Room for improvement after a recent twelve-week break. She has a strong jockey change and sets a good standard in this weak-looking maiden race.

The 5-year-old mare ran some decent races last year in defeat. She returned last April 13 lb higher than her current mark. She posted a high RPR rating last week when 2nd of 8, caught late on by a runner who looked well in at the weights, and she was 3 lengths clear of the rest. It was just her second start at this track. Same mark for this handicap.

The 3yo has 2 wins from 5 career starts. He was a handicap winner on his Polytrack debut four weeks ago. The runner-up won next time out. With just a 2 lb higher mark for this race, more improvement is very possible, and there are question marks against his three rivals.

Ex-Irish-trained 4yo. Two wins from his final three Irish runs early last year. Back from a six-month break with two recent UK runs. He was a good runner-up last week, no match for the winner at the finish, who ran a big race three days later. The 4th and 5th from the race were both on top of their game coming into that race, and the form seems solid. More progress possible, and he should be a big player.

Just seven career runs for the 4yo filly. Decent form despite not winning in her four handicap starts, last May??"Aug. From the 13-runner contest two starts back, six of those rivals have won races since. On a good-looking mark, no problem with the 12f trip, and coming off a five-month break could see her return stronger.
