Verdict
MY BALLYQUINN deserves extra credit for getting off the mark at Hamilton and David O'Meara's progressive son of New Bay can defy a 3 lb rise in the weights here. Catterick scorer Cranachan also has better days ahead of him though and rates a big threat, while fellow handicap debutant Home Secretary can't be ruled out with improvement very much on the cards.

VerdictNew Bay colt. Took a step forward on his handicap bow when cosily landing 3-runner event at Hamilton (11f) last month, doing well given he conceded first run. Up 3 lb but runner-up has gone in since and still looks ahead of his mark here. - 6. Home SecretaryJ: Luke MorrisT: Sir Mark Prescott BtF: 6679-

VerdictCut little ice in his 4 runs last autumn, last of 9 in novice at Redcar (7f) final one. Since gelded and no surprise to see him take a major step forward now handicapping over this much longer trip. Cheekpieces also added. - 1. CranachanJ: Edward GreatrexT: Ralph BeckettF: 6-21

VerdictGelded and much improved this season, runner-up in Kempton maiden before readily landing the odds in 5-runner maiden at Catterick (1½m) in April. This well-related son of Cracksman is a player with more to offer now going into handicaps.

VerdictVisored and much improved to land 1¼m handicaps at Newcastle and Lingfield this season, doing well on latter occasion having conceded first run. Well held at Haydock inbetween though so needs to prove his effectiveness on turf.

VerdictFrankel colt who found only one too good on each of his 3 starts in novice company. Also posted a good third of 9 on his handicap debut at Chester 8 days ago. Likely he can do better still for good yard now stepping up in trip.
