To Take Place
7f 14y
11 runners
Standard to Slow

1 (8)

Rake Lane

EXC 1.1

Age: 4
Weight: 9st 13lbs
Or: -

37,000 gns foal, 20,000 gns yearling. Bated Breath gelding. Hard to fancy on belated debut.

2 (5)

Viper

EXC 1.1

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 4lbs
Or: -

Going the right way, finishing third of 10 in a novice here in May then second of 8 in a 6f maiden at Pontefract 35 days ago, making running until worn down final 100 yds. Should once again be in the mix back up in trip.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type

6 (11)

Heathers Feather (Ire)

EXC 1.1

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 4lbs
Or: -

Out of his depth when last of 4 in a novice over 1¼m at Redcar in April. Drop back to 7f looks more realistic on pedigree but hard to fancy all the same.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
20/04/26	Redcar	1m 2f 1y	Good	4/4	Flat
13/04/26	Newcastle	1m 5y	Std	6/8	Flat

5 (2)

Hawksworth (Ire)

EXC 1.1

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 4lbs
Or: -

Down field both starts to date and looks to be being brought along with handicaps in mind, so he's easily passed over on all-weather debut.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
15/06/26	Wetherby	7f	Gd/Frm	5/11	Flat
05/06/26	Doncaster	1m 2f 43y	Firm	7/8	Flat

4 (7)

Binmalk

EXC 1.1

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 4lbs
Or: -

Bred to be useful and left his debut form well behind when fourth of 11 in a novice at Doncaster 20 days ago, slowly away and having a tough task from his position. Makes his all-weather debut now and should be winning this granted similar progression.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
06/06/26	Doncaster	7f 6y	Gd/Frm	4/11	Flat
15/05/26	Newbury	7f	Good	12/15	Flat

8 (3)

Leopards Rock

EXC 1.1

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 4lbs
Or: -

Third of 6 behind a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton over 9f in May on debut. Not unduly punished and looks open to improvement on this second start so is one to consider for a place.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
18/05/26	Wolverhampton	1m 142y	Slow	3/6	Flat

Lineofsuccession

J: Tom Eaves
T: Ivan Furtado
F: 60

EXC 1.1

Age: 3
Weight: 8st 13lbs
Or: -

Showed little in 2 starts, last of 11 at Doncaster 20 days ago when dived right leaving stalls. Easy to pass over on all-weather debut.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
06/06/26	Doncaster	7f 6y	Gd/Frm	11/11	Flat
22/05/26	Pontefract	6f	Gd/Sft	6/8	Flat

Back At One (Ire)

J: Ray Dawson
T: Roger Varian
F: 76

EXC 1.1

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 4lbs
Or: -

Well-connected gelding but mid-field at best both starts to date and handicaps after another outing look more realistic for him.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
09/06/26	Salisbury	6f 213y	Heavy	6/13	Flat
27/05/26	Kempton Park	7f	Std	7/10	Flat

7 (10)

Jetpack Jimmy

EXC 1.1

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 4lbs
Or: -

Masar gelding newcomer out of a 1¾m mare and half-brother to a 1¼m winner. Bred for further than this 7f trip and will likely need more time.

9 (9)

Shadow Road (Ire)

EXC 1.1

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 4lbs
Or: -

Lope De Vega gelding making debut for in-form yard. Likely to need much longer trips than this and betting may prove best guide to expectations.

Timeform Verdict

BINMALK is from an excellent family and left his debut form well behind when fourth at Doncaster 20 days ago, doing well under the circumstances having been slowly into stride. Open to further improvement, he's fancied to win this switched to all-weather. Leopards Rock showed promise on debut at Wolverhampton and should be sharper for that run, whilst Viper is going the right way after being narrowly denied at Pontefract.

Betting Forecast

20/1 Rake Lane, 12/1 Real Trouper (Ire), 13/2 Viper, 150/1 Heathers Feather (Ire), 125/1 Hawksworth (Ire), 5/4 Binmalk, 9/2 Leopards Rock, 33/1 Lineofsuccession, 40/1 Back At One (Ire), 66/1 Jetpack Jimmy, 12/1 Shadow Road (Ire)
