GOING: S(5)

Book your outside function @ the Ladbrokes Racing Centre Class 1 Hcp 1420m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: +9m 1200m-W/Post; +7m Remainder . (Pent: 4.60)  

A strong gallop is likely with Mohnar and Earendel taking up the running, closely attended by Sir Jag and Thin Red Line. EARENDEL (1) was tipped out after his debut win on the synthetic. He returns owning 3 trials, which have all impressed. Maps okay, and he has a 1.5kg claim. He looks ready to go on with the job. MOHNAR (5) looked a run short first-up after a switch from a Victorian stable. She is proven second-up and has plenty up her sleeve. Darmanin stays aboard and will run her along from an inside barrier. THIN RED LINE (4) switched from a Victorian barn and was only beaten 2L from the front. He will be better for that and can't be taken lightly. THONATUS (7) resumes. May need one, but has prices of form that would see him competitive. SUGGESTED PLAY: Earendel if the betting suggests stable confidence.
