Southwell Race 2 - Book The Bistro In Seasons Restaurant Hcp
BLUE TULIP (5) caused a minor upset landing a 2400m Wolverhampton handicap last month. Failed to back that up at Ripon subsequently. Worth forgiving that now adopting cheekpieces and the champion jockey-in-waiting. SOUND GLORIA (6) managed to take advantage of a modest event at Catterick two back and was narrowly denied in follow-up attempt over 2900m. Looks the main threat. LE ROUGE CHINOIS (1) made the frame twice in recent weeks since returning to this yard. Can certainly stake a claim among this company. Multiple course winner LEDNIKOV (4) missed by only 1.5L when third latest at Doncaster. Minor placings anticipated again.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming made ground from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Great Yarmouth on August 5 over 2800m, 2 len behind Urban Warrior with 61kg at $5.50. Second run from a spell set the pace for much of the race 2nd in a small field at Lingfield All Weather on August 17 over 3200m, 0.5 len behind Regally Blonde carrying 61kg at $2.60. Worth plenty of thought.

First-up. Finished off last preparation second of 7 at Bangor-On-Dee June 6 2025 over 3300m, 4 len behind Hope Hill carrying 67kg at $4.30. Previously first up; third in a small field at Huntingdon March 19 2025 over 3300m, 12 len behind Iskar D'airy carrying 66.5kg at $2.80. This looks too tough.

Form hard to fault. Most recently ran second last in a small field at Ripon on August 15 over 2400m, 6 len behind Clocker with 56kg at $4.50. The start before that came from midfield and won by 1.3 len at Wolverhampton on July 30 over 2400m defeating Evening Fades with 58.5kg at $17. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
