ARQ007

I'm getting right behind the Portman runners today. The yard has four across the country and is in great form, having a treble last week, a winner here at the last meeting, and stable star Strike only just missing out on Saturday. This 3yo Galileo Gold colt was a bit below form up LTO when in trip when third in a handicap at Wolverhampton, but that was just his second run after a break, and he seems to take a while to get going. Has cheekpieces first time, is just 1 lb above his last winning mark, and the yard don't send many up here (the last one they did won!).

The 3yo gelding has his first run for the Mason yard, and he's shown some potential in his first five runs, notably when runner-up at Chepstow last August. Below form, but ran better last time despite a lower-grade race. He was comfortably held in a nursery at Bath last time out. Improving, but may just need this, however.

I'm getting right behind the Portman runners today. The yard has four across the country and is in great form, having a treble last week, a winner here at the last meeting, and stable star Strike only just missing out on Saturday. This mare is a former C&D winner. She ran to form back up in trip when beaten two lengths off this mark at Kempton last time, but is arguably better on turf. She's respected off the same mark as her latest run, with the very capable yard apprentice aboard taking off 5 pounds.

I'm getting right behind the Portman runners today. The yard has four across the country and is in great form, having a treble last week, and stable star Rumstar only just missed out on Saturday. This 8-year-old son of Lethal Force has two wins and two places from his four runs here over C&D. With four places on offer and the excellent Rob Hornby (who knows him well) steering, I'm hoping for a good run.

Bit of a punt here, but only one of the runners has any experience, so these could be anything. I'm getting right behind the Portman runners today. The yard has four across the country and is in great form, having a treble last week, and stable star Rumstar only just missed out on Saturday. This filly sold for £28,000 as a yearling and is by high-class sprinter Caturra (half-sister to Poet's Dawn). Mr Portman has been known to get the odd first-time-out 2yo winner, so with the excellent Rob Hornby steering, I'm hoping for a good run.
