Race 1 (12:20pm) MONARCHOFTHEGARAGE
Nine race maiden, who has placed twice so far, including second, a year ago at Leicester (1m 7f, soft), when 1.5 lengths behind Fil D’Ariane, with these two, 3 lengths clear of the rest. This Nigel Twiston-Davies runner showed consistency towards the back end of last season, although he fifth (of eleven) at Wetherby last time out,saw them some 17.5 lengths behind the winner. Returns here, some 2lbs lower than that Leicester performance and with the yard in good form, he looks to have plenty to like here.
Race 2 (12:55pm) BROOMFIELD BURG
Has kicked on well, after a debut seventh at Newbury back in January, winning two on the bounce, including when stepping up in class at Warwick (2m good to soft) last time out, back in May, when easing to a 9.5 length victory in a novice hurdle. Nicky Henderson won this race with Dusart last year and it would be of little surprise to see one of his charges take the spoils once again.
Race 3 (1:30pm) THE COB
Strong performer for Ben Pauling, with three wins and three places in then career starts so far. The 7-yo old added to his CV, when taking the spoils in the Grade 2 – River Don Novices Hurdle at Doncaster (3m, soft), when a comfortable 9 lengths clear of Portstorm back in January. Was supplemented for the Albert Bartlett at the Festival in March, but that was too hot for him that day. He now returns for a chasing debut and has to be respecting, off the back of that hurdle form.
Race 4 (2:00pm) NINA THE TERRIER
Winner on debut at Doncaster (2m, good), a year ago in a bumper contest, but had to wait until May and a further four races to add to the tally, when 3 lengths clear of Subway Surf at Warwick (2m, good to soft). Alan King’s charge, returned after a five month break and made it a double with victory at Chepstow (2m 3f, good) last month. Has more to come off the back of that result and is very likely to feature in this contest.
Race 5 (2:30pm) DIDTHEYLEAVEUOUTTOO
Five time winner, with the last of those back in June, at Nottingham (1m 6f, good to firm) on the flat, when 1.5 lengths clear of Lady Isabel. After a disappointing run at Kempton, Nick Gifford’s runner bounced back with a second at Chepstow (2m 3f, good), on his return from a three month break in the Silver Trophy, finishing just a length behind Orbys Legend. Extension to 3m is an interesting move, but there isn’t anything to suggest that this will be a problem for him. Solid claims here.
Race 6 (3:05pm) SMARTY WILD
Another five time winner, with the last victory coming at Kempton (2m 4f, good to soft), back in January, in a handicap chase debut, beating Pistol Whipped by a length, with the pair a further 8 lengths clear. Has since produced solid runs in two attempts, with a third last time out, again at Kempton (2m 4f, good), but 10 lengths behind winner, Domaine De L’Isle. Philip Hobbs’s runner should improve this season and this looks to be a winnable contest.
