VICTORY GOLD (1) can follow up a recent victory having impressed when a 0.75L winner of 1400m Lingfield novice seventeen days ago. That was after finishing down field in the Listed Windsor Castle Stakes. Brings plenty of class and looks the one to beat. FLYING PIRATE (2) has been gelded since running 1.75L third in a 1200m Salisbury novice. Won at that track prior and holds solid claims. WAASIL (3) is on the rise after a 1.5L Beverley novice victory tackling 1500m. Must be considered. METAMOUSE (4) scored impressively by 2.75L attempting 1200m in a Chester novice two outings ago. Only fourth since. Likely to improve now tried in a handicap. One to note.

Racing well recently. At the latest run 4th of 11 at Salisbury on June 30 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Treasurer with 59.5kg at $7. The race before that won by 2.75 len at Chester June 12 over 1200m defeating Koodini carrying 57.5kg at $4.50. Can improve and should figure in the finish.
