Valadero (Ire)

J: Harry Davies
T: Brian Toomey
F: 222506-78

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

Long-standing maiden who found only one too good on 3 occasions in handicaps last summer. Posted a creditable midfield effort at Kempton (6f) in December but absent following a couple of lesser displays in classified events at Lingfield in January.

Shining Guest (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: -

Little promise shown in her 3 runs to date, last of 6 in a C&D maiden 59 days ago. Needs this switch to classified company to spark progress but that isn't out of the question.

Coolagh Magic

J: William Carson
T: Anthony Carson
F: 4-4843964

Age: 10
Weight: 9st 9lbs
Or: -

Veteran who arrives on a long losing run but took a step back in the right direction despite not having the race run to suit when fourth of 8 in a C&D handicap 2 weeks ago. Slow starts remain a cause for concern but he needs considering on first try in classified company.

J: Jonny Peate

F: 05-125838

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

C&D winner who resumed winning ways in some style at Chelmsford (6f) in January. Proved rather hit and miss thereafter, running no sort of race when last of 8 in a C&D handicap in April but player if bouncing back following a break.

Bear Steps (Usa)

J: Cieren Fallon
T: Jack Jones
F: 77-660

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 2lbs

Offered little in a trio of novice events and fared no better in 2 handicaps on turf in recent months. Needs to find some improvement eased in grade.

Wondrous (Ire)

J: Jack Callan
T: Michael Bell
F: 070-9

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: -

Offered little in 3 starts as a juvenile and no encouragement to glean from last month's reappearance/handicap debut effort at Ripon (1m). Eases in grade back down in trip but another who needs to find a good deal more.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
28/05/26	Ripon	1m	Good	9/9	Flat
02/10/25	Chelmsford City	6f	Slow	12/13	Flat

Timeform Verdict

COOLAGH MAGIC comes with risks attached given his slow starts but he arrives having taken a step back in the right direction when fourth in a C&D handicap 2 weeks ago and may be up to capitalising on this drop in class. Fellow veteran Sir Rodneyredblood may emerge next best following a break, ahead of Valadero.

Betting Forecast

13/2 Valadero (Ire), 5/1 Shining Guest (Ire), 5/2 Coolagh Magic, 7/2 Sir Rodneyredblood, 13/2 Bear Steps (Usa), 15/2 Wondrous (Ire)
