Runners Spotlight

Hopeful Joy
Favorite

Modest fourth at Thirsk; close second at Ripon (again over 1m) five days later but that is ordinary maiden form; needs a big chunk of further progress to go one better.

Jockey: Trainer: Mark Walford
1
Timely Approach

Flat debutant who holds poor claims on his bumper efforts.

Jockey: William Pyle(3)Trainer: Tracy Waggott
2
Ettore

Down the field in two middle-distance events; needs major improvement for this drop to 1m.

Jockey: Aidan KeeleyTrainer: Roger Varian

Golden Horse

425,000gns yearling; by Sea The Stars and sibling to winners Kildare Legend (1m3f/1m4f; RPR 99) and My Runner (French 6.5f AW; 87); major yard; interesting newcomer.

Jockey: Tom MarquandTrainer: William Haggas
4
Goodwood Mogul

Perhaps found 6f too sharp in sole 2yo start; fared much better (made the frame) over 1m at Carlisle on return from 14-month absence and may well build on that effort.
