Runners Spotlight

Explosive Finnish
Favorite

He's run with credit in third this spring in his first two handicaps, at Southwell (6f, AW) then Beverley (5f, good to soft; unraced on softer); kept on nicely last time and the return to 6f could be the right move.

Jockey: NON-RUNNERTrainer: Kevin Frost
NR
Obsidian Verse

Took a step forward when winning at Southwell (6f, AW) three weeks ago on his second handicap start; he needs to transfer that improvement back to turf but his dam is from a family his Newmarket trainer has done extremely well with, and he could have plenty more to offer.

Jockey: NON-RUNNERTrainer: James Fanshawe

Stoneacre Joe

All three starts over 6f on fast ground; left sole 2yo run well behind when runner-up on both outings this spring, most recently at Ayr where he was the only one to give the odds-on winner a race; his dam was useful (best form on soft going) and he has potential off his opening mark.

Jockey: Ryan SextonTrainer: Tim Easterby

Angels' Share

Plenty in hand when winning two in a row at Lingfield last August/September (7f, AW; maiden/handicap); however, well beaten back on turf on both runs since and she has something to prove on grass.

Jockey: Rossa RyanTrainer: William Knight

There's A Chance

Won on nursery debut at Hamilton (6f, good) last July; yet to kick on from that but her reappearance third at Newcastle (6f, AW) three weeks ago gives her something to build on and she's not ruled out.
