Newbury
Sat 18th Jul

Formscan  - A winner here in June and at Kempton 10 days ago, the progressive BAILEYS KHELSTAR makes plenty of appeal. Only 3lb higher than the most recent of those victories, the six-year-old may be able to make it a hat-trick despite a step up in grade. Ride The Thunder was not disgraced when sixth in the Northumberland Plate and is likely to be in the mix, while Almuhit and Duraji are also noted.
