Well Chief's horse race preview

1 - Sunlight - No match for Les Fazzani over a mile at Kempton and was sent off favourite for the Oaks trial back in May, so was highly thought off before having her sights lowered. A narrow winner latest at Haydock over a mile and is being tried back over middle distances after flopping in the Oaks Trail. She may be better then her mark still,, but needs to prove her stamina here today, which she should. The 4lbs penalty isn't too harsh against her sex group here. The trip should suit on breeding at this stage of her career, with the sire stats stacking up well for middle distance off springs at this age.

My Tissue Price - 1-1

2 - Postage Stampe - Taking on young horses in this potentially decent fillies race for the track,, but is still fairly unexposed, having been lightly campaigned since winning her first two races. A winner at the track on debut, this is her first start back here and her trainer does very well at this track with his limited amount of runners. Beaten on her last two starts over 10F, she may benefit back against her same sex group. The handicapper is giving her a chance after maybe over analysing her early form. Another 4lbs dropped after being eased 7lbs already from last two finishing position. Looking to get back to her best, she is likely to finish closer this time around,, but may run into a couple of potentially smart rivals.

My tissue Price - 14/1

3 - Love on Sight - been outclassed since finishing 3rd at Haydock behind the useful Lovelace over 7F and takes a massive step up in trip today, in the hope that it will bring some further improvement out of her, that is clearly needed, with her being well held at this level behind Docofthebay. The change to a same sex race may help her further,, but she has to prove she will appreciate this step up in trip and after failing to give any signs of winning off 83. She may be best watched today, even though the ground clearly suits and the jockey booking of Seb Sanders is a big positive for the yard. Back to the mark where she ran so well at Haydock, if she stays, she could well be involved and market movement is most probably the best note to take on her chances.

My Tissue Price - 7/1

4 - Vale De Lobo - The most exposed runner in the field and the only runner that has seen the race course into double figures. Taking on younger fillies that could be potentially ahead of their current marks will no doubt make life very difficult for her today. She has battled on well in her last three starts and is guaranteed to see this 10F, out which gives her an advantage over most of her rivals today. A reproduction of her Chester form last season over 10F on Good to firm ground will have her in with a shot of upsetting the more fancied youngsters. The handicapper has got her in with a chance,, but that Chepstow win over 12F was a muddling affair, where she got a peach of a ride from Ted Durcan who gets on well with her.

My Tissue Price - 7/1

5 - Free Offer - Won a Newbury handicap, which is usually the norm for John Dunlop handicappers and will be looking to add further races to her portfolio, as she progress at the weights. In that 10F handicap win she showed a good attitude to win all out and has really come into her own after running some poor races early season, which saw her dropped 7lbs in the handicap. The 5lbs back up in weight may have her struggling again, but she has her conditions and trip today and she looked like she was a more willing horse and the drier it gets the better she will perform, but there has to be a slight concern on what she beat last time and she may progress when found a similar type of race to that, but she will stay the trip which is one thing she has in her favour.

My Tissue Price - 9/1

6 - Miss Marvellous - Unexposed filly who flopped on her handicap debut after breaking her maiden tag at the 3rd time of asking. The two earlier maidens weren't anything special and there may be reason to believe that the Yarmouth Maiden she won was nothing out the ordinary despite the 3rd hacking up on second run. Improved for soft surface she should handle this ground better then she did on her first two runs as her inexperience played a part in why the runs were so poor. Improvement is likely as with many of the stable 3yo she could improve to be come a contender in this race today.

My Tissue price - 7/1

7 - Samidaniya - A winner over course and distance when a cosy winner of a low grade handicap, where she dominated from start to finish against the same sex group. Bottom of the weights for this much tougher task after being raised 4lbs in weight she needs to find improvement to win at this level, but after a confident booster, where she was much the best horse in the race she could come on again for a trainer that does well with this sex group. A handle good to firm ground and has no concern over the trip she may go close today.

My tissue Price - 9/1

Tissue Prices - Sunlight Evens, Miss Marvellous, Vale De Lobo, Love on Sight 7/1, Samidaniya, Free offer 9/1, Postage Stampe 14/1

Verdict – The Favourite could find this easy picking as potentially the smartest horse in the field and is certain to be backed like she can't lose this race and has obvious strong claims,, but is there is likely to be one of the unexposed runners in the field that may upset her if getting the run of the race. Love on Sight is one to note in the market and is a massive price currently at 20-1 while the more proven type in Vale De Lobo is likely to give her running in this field today with much in her favour, Miss Marvellous could come on for her handicap debut and rates as a potential danger, but we give a chance to love on Sight to improve for the step up in trip today and give the favoured Sunlight the most to do.

Selection – Love on Sight win 1pt @ 20-1 (BF22)
