Newmarket Race 7 - Long Shot Summer Seltzer Handicap
This looks like a good opportunity for the class-dropping SIGNALMAN (5) who made the running when fourth over 2000m at Sandown last time. First-time cheekpieces deployed and the John and Thady Gosden trained gelding may get off the mark. XIOMARA (3) would hold major claims on form shown when runner-up attempting 2000m at Nottingham two starts ago. OBSIDIAN KNIGHT (1) was well-beaten among stronger company at Ascot last time. Might do better back in this class. YIPPEE (4) would be dangerous if allowed to dictate matters out front.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Not raced for 48 days. First-up won by a nose at Chelmsford April 25 over 2000m defeating Boasty with 58kg at $4.50. Last start second last of 14 at Ascot on May 11 over 2400m, 22 len behind Kotari with 54kg at $13. Small field and looks one of the chances.

Second run back. Comes off a 48-day let-up. First-up after 11 months 5th of 8 at Leicester on May 11 over 1600m, 2.25 len behind War Of Words carrying 61kg at $12. Previously second-up 6th of 13 at Newmarket (Rowley) on May 19 2023 over 2000m, 9 len behind Davideo with 60.5kg at $19. Unlikely to threaten.

At the latest run second last of 10 at Chester on June 14 over 2100m, 15 len behind Rebaatt carrying 58kg at $10. The start before that 3rd in a small field at Leicester on May 28 over 2000m, on rain affected going; 22 len behind Ashariba with 62.5kg at $4.30. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.
