Runners Spotlight

1
Driver's Pick
Favorite

Useful form in four French runs for Andre Fabre, posting an RPR of 94 when narrowly beaten over 1m4f on final run last September (heavy; effective on good to soft); difficult to know what form he'll be in after an absence but he sets the standard.

Jockey: Charlie Maggs(5)Trainer: Donald McCain
2
Aequitas

50,000gns yearling; won a muddling four-runner novice at Hamilton (1m3f, good to firm), flooring the long odds-on favourite who had been close up in a Listed race the time before; unwise to take that form at face value but probably the safest option here.

Jockey: Daniel TudhopeTrainer: David O'Meara
3
Knighton

20,000gns yearling; fifth foal; closely related to a winner in Spain; dam placed 1m4f (68), sister to useful 7f-2m Flat and 2m hurdle winner Mirsaale; market can guide as to expectations.

Jockey: William Pyle(3)Trainer: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero
4
Stitching Wheel

Former stablemate of Driver's Pick when trained in France but wasn't of his ability; left Andre Fabre for 6,000gns and was tailed off on British debut at Southwell (1m).
