READY TO IMPROVE
IMPROVE (2.50) can live up to her name by making a successful handicap debut at Newbury.
William Haggas’s filly has shown smart form, scoring at Haydock in May then just failing to catch the promising
at Newcastle. The three-year-old was staying on nicely over a mile that day and can take full advantage of an attractive mark up in trip.
(3.25) can land the European Breeders’ Fund
Sun Hat ELEGIAC
BY GARRY OWEN Conditions Stakes for Mark Johnston. The Farhh colt slammed at York and this tough type remains largely unexposed as a stayer.
David Elsworth is enjoying his best season in years and can strike with (4.35). The Sir Prancealot filly has been on a stiff upward curve and is well treated after edging out at Goodwood.
In-form Saeed bin Suroor can
Proschema LADY DANCEALOT Iconic Knight
add to his tally at Doncaster with (1.20). The son of Dubawi comfortably landed his maiden at Redcar and this progressive type can do damage sent handicapping.
The feature sprint is brutally competitive but
(3.35) is worth rowing in with. Kevin Ryan’s gelding is a classy speedster at best and lurks on a dangerously low mark if building on his fourth at York.
(4.10) can blow his rivals away for Charlie
ALFURAT RIVER STAR TERUNTUM WINDS OF FIRE
Appleby in the Matchbook Handicap. The Kitten’s Joy gelding has made great strides and can come on plenty for his smooth defeat of at Salisbury in August.
Gordon Elliott can enjoy the first of many winners at Cheltenham this season with
(3.10). The seven-year-old was better than ever when scoring at Sedgefield last month and his shrewd handler can eke out more progress over 2m 5f. The Meath

maestro can also take the lucky last with (5.30).
The progressive grey can resume the winning thread today after running another blinder when third to in a hot Punchestown handicap.
And (4.55) can land the trappy amateurs’ handicap chase for Neil Mulholland. The gelding relished the step up to three miles when scoring at Southwell and can follow that up under the talented Sam Waley-Cohen.
