Hello Friend
5.00 Brighton
1.Byrd In Hand
Ideal Cond. Brighton/C6/OR60 or below Form in Cond.2,1,2,6,8,2,2,1,4,1, 3, 5 2 (1/31,10 places outside)
Positives: Has conditions ok and ran well enough last time. Was beaten by a horse with plenty in hand but having set a blistering pace (to the eye) plugged on in second to beat the others comfortably - this may have had something to doing with the heavy going though.Nearly all race conditions look fine.
Negatives. She is 0/14, 5 places with 12+ runners. She does like to track the pace or lead and there are a few in here that like to get on with it. It is possible that last run took plenty out of her.
My Verdict. 1/2 point win 8/1. There are a few niggles there but I think she should run her race again (if over that last run) and should be thereabouts.
*** 2. Lutine Charlie
Ideal Cond. September Form in Cond. 2,1,1,3,1,1 (1/31, 7 places outside)
Positives. Well I am not sure what it is about this month but to date he has yet to run a bad race in September. All race conditions fine and is 2/6, 3 places over CD.
Negatives. Well none really in terms of race conditions and profile. The jockey is building up a decent profile and in the context of this race there should be no excuses on that front.
My Verdict. 1 point win 8/1

Non Qualifiers
-2.00 Bright Heartsong/Verus Delicia. Heartsong won for us last time out in her favoured soft going. She is now 0/5 0 places on Good in Flat handicaps, and is 0/19, 3 places in handicaps outside of Soft. All other conditions fine and big run would not be a shock given how she won LTO, but the going is a big question. VD is 0/16, 4 places when returning after 15 days, and usually drops off after Aug. All race conditions fine though and is a CD winner.
-3.00 Comrade Bond - has been a bit of a Yarmouth specialist to date, but is 0/2, 2 places over CD.
-3.50 Wind. Rambo Will - 0/6 , 0 places in C4 to date. All other conditions fine and is 1/3 over CD.
