Every piece of form that surrounds Altharoos suggests he should be much better than an 80 rated handicapper, and he should take all the beating in the 7.30 for Sir Michael Stoute and Dane O’Neill. He has form tied in with the likes of Glean, Ashaadd, Intimidate and Disclaimer; and since their races, are all rated 95+. He won his maiden here over course and distance, and given Sir Michael has a 30% Strike Rate.
Rocket Ronnie had the beating of Multilicious last time out, but I have a feeling the form can be turned around in the 8.00, a mile handicap. She finished a length down at Hamilton but with the winner up 4lb, and the Tim Easterby stable in much better form, we can take a chance on the unexposed Multiplex filly.
Over at Haydock, Secret Applause runs in the 7.15 Nursery for Michael Dods, with his star apprentice Connor Beasley taking off a more than useful 7lbf. He was third on debut, before staying on well to win a competitive maiden at Newcastle, despite Paul Mulrennan being 3lb overweight. The stable are in fine form, and the jockey is more than worth his claim.
The mile and a half handicap at 7.45 sees Continuum put his classy reputation on the line for Lady Cecil, but he looks full of quirks, and despite having the potential to be much better than an 85 rated handicapper, he won’t be any sort of price. Semeen could be one to take him on for Luca Cumani, with Jamie Spencer retaining the ride. The form of his win last time out has worked out really well, with the fourth and sixth winning their next races, and he looks a typically progressive Luca Cumani improver.
I like one running at Doncaster in the 3.35, the seven furlong handicap, Charlie Hills’ Glen Moss, with James McDonald legged up. He ran a creditable fourth over course and distance in a very competitive race, and the form looks strong. Royal Ascot winner Lightning Cloud was in behind, and the winner has come out and won since. Down another 1lb in the weights, he will no doubt be there or thereabouts once more.
On the eve of one of the biggest racing days of the season, Eclipse Day on Saturday, Sandown warms up in fine style with a couple of listed races and a fine mix of maidens and handicaps. The Dragon Stakes was won last year by the classy Morawij, and a horse with a similar profile is Survived, for William Haggas and bred by Cheveley Park Stud. She finished sixth in The Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot, and with Bye Bye Birdie and Fig Roll both acquiring black type since then, the form looks good. The fillies get 5lb from the colts, and that could make all the difference in such a competitive renewal.

3.35 Doncaster - Glen Moss
7.15 Haydock - Secret Applause
7.30 Beverley - Altharoos
