Martin Stonemans Lucky Last Handicap

No comments available for this runner.

Two Plus Two has a pair of wins in its last five starts, including a one-and-a-half-length success at Bath, and ran to a similar level with every chance when fourth last time from the same mark — same mark again today. Wears first-time blinkers and takes the lead from the front, effective over 10-14f on a sound surface; the mark may be stretching the limits, but this is a weak field.

First-time headgear (p) applied as Nymphaea reverts from all-weather to turf, and her last run — a runner-up effort in a classified race at Windsor — showed she can hold her own at this level over the shorter trip. Effective at 12f on the all-weather and still without a win in recent starts, she needs to translate that consistency into a clear run; capable of making a race of it.

Star Of Jupiter has been below her best in recent starts, beaten nine lengths at Yarmouth last time — a performance that needs to be put behind her. She stays well at up to 17f and acts on a wide range of surfaces, so the conditions are not the issue; first-time eye-shields (etb) may help but a turnaround is needed to get involved.

Consistent performer at this level without breaking through, Muhib has registered two thirds and two fourths in recent outings and matched that level again when beaten two and a quarter lengths at Doncaster last time — effective over 10-12f and comfortable on today's going. Yet to win in recent starts and clearly exposed, but reliable enough to be in the mix for a placing.
