Florida Dreams (Ire)

EXC 1.1

Age: 8
Weight: 10st 2lbs
Or: -

Grade 2 bumper winner who reached a fairly useful level over hurdles at up to 3m. Has showed ability in Flat maidens, chasing home a couple of younger rivals when third of 5 in a maiden here (11f, good) 15 days ago. Down in trip for qualifying run and likely there's an eye on handicaps.

Valenday

J: Kevin Stott
T: Kevin Ryan
F: 23-6

EXC 1.1

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 5lbs
Or: -

Second in a very strong race on debut at York (7f) in September and similar form despite waywardness under pressure when third over 1m back there a month later. Did plenty wrong when sixth of 9 in a Doncaster maiden on return though and has since been gelded and now sports blinkers.

It's Debatable (Ire)

EXC 1.1

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 5lbs
Or: -

Sottsass gelding who improved from his debut despite not looking particularly well suited by the drop in trip when fourth of 10 in novice at Redcar (1m, good to firm, 33/1) 49 days ago. May well do better now back up in trip on qualifying run.

Maid On The Shelf

EXC 1.1

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 0lbs
Or: -

68,000 gns Pinatubo filly from good family but has finished well held on both starts to date.

Kahin (Ire)

EXC 1.1

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 5lbs
Or: -

240,000 gns Kingman colt has seemingly been getting the hang of things with each run and was beaten only by a useful prospect when second of 11 in novice at Windsor (1m, good to soft, 11/4) 17 days ago. Should continue to improve so holds fairly obvious claims.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
08/06/26	Windsor	1m 31y	Gd/Sft	2/11	Flat
21/05/26	Southwell	1m 13y	Std	4/12	Flat

Gracious Queen

EXC 1.1

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 0lbs
Or: -

Persian King filly. Dam, French 6.5f winner (stayed 7.5f), sister to top-class 6f winner Harry Angel. Market may prove best guide.

2 (5)

Al Fujairah (Ire)

EXC 1.1

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 5lbs
Or: -

€30,000 yearling, 6,000 gns 2-y-o, Churchill gelding. Brother to 1¼m-1½m winner Shahnameh and half-brother to 1½m winner Shahinda. Sales price dropped alarmingly last year and he doesn't strike as an obvious debut winner.

Timeform Verdict

KAHIN is learning with experience and may able to progress past Valenday, who will need his gelding and/or the application of blinkers to have a positive effect after blotting his copybook at Doncaster last time. It's Debatable can complete the 1-2-3.

Betting Forecast

15/2 Florida Dreams (Ire), 11/2 Valenday, 11/2 It's Debatable (Ire), 50/1 Maid On The Shelf, 6/4 Kahin (Ire), 7/1 Gracious Queen, 16/1 Al Fujairah (Ire)
