Youghal Race 5 - 525 Yds (A7)
BAND OF VELVET (3) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fourth (30.46), beaten 7 lengths. Ready to return to form. KIND BESSY (1) has some solid form under her belt and proved too classy last time to win by one length at this track in a handy 29.96 beating Dower Queen. One of the prime contenders. DRAINED (4) last start finished 3rd in an A7 on June 1 over 480m at this track behind Corrin Declan beaten 9 lengths (30.46). With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. KNOCKGLASS SONIC (5) is very honest and looms as a strong top-three hope again.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by one length over 480m at this track in a handy 29.96, beating Dower Queen. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished 4th in an A6 on June 4 over 480m at this track behind Cavies Champ beaten 7 lengths (30.46). Had been in strong form, hitting the frame two times on end, before the latest effort.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 480m in an A7 at this track. Cannot be taken lightly based on that sound recent effort.

Followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound third, beaten 4.5 lengths, last start in an A7 at this track over 480m (30.08). Decent recent form so demands respect.

Below best last start when he finished 4th over 480m at this track beaten 14 lengths (30.65) behind Hollyhill Milly in an A7 on June 1. Needs to find a bit more to test these.
