MATRON STAKES – Lush Lashes 78

Here are this week’s entries for the Top Of The Form eyecatchers, which I’ve trimmed, excluding some of the older entries:

Anosti – Fine second at Pontefract has worked out and could score on a speedier track.

Doughnut – Weatherbys Super Sprit working out well, especially those from the lower-half of the field that are given reasonable targets next time.

Elijah Pepper – Form of Pontefract victory has worked out and trainer David Barron knows how to place progressive sprinters.

Head Down - Excellent second to Rose Diamond and could win a nursery.

High Five Society (Monday) – Fourth at Haydock is fair form and one to watch back on Polytrack.

Huntdown (Tuesday) – Early days for this Newmarket maiden but has been franked twice, and a second here looks strong form.

Lucky Numbers (Saturday) – Thirsk maiden victory has been franked by horses in a better grade and could represent value from a small yard.

Mullglen - Weatherbys Super Sprit working out well, especially those from the lower-half of the field that are given reasonable targets next time.

Pacific Ocean - Decent fourth at Yarmouth and a repeat on soft ground could suffice.

Pan The Man (Sunday) - Career best when second to subsequent-winning William The Butler, and should pick up a race possibly dropped to a Class 4 – outclassed in Listed last time.

Pay Time – Fifth at Carlisle not bad and ready to go well on fast ground possibly at big price.

Prospect Court - Sixth to Angus Newz was good form and is one to store away possibly for the autumn as he loves the mud and has slipped to a winning mark.

Red Lily – Decent third at Yarmouth and a repeat on soft ground could suffice.

The Good Guy - Placed effort at Uttoxeter decent form.

Total Gallery (Saturday) - Beverley form worked out and possibly drawn too near the stands' rail at Goodwood as the race developed down the centre.

Wee Ziggy – Third in a Southwell handicap hurdle is decent form.

Well done Tom, glad you made a few quid. Ironic, that I omitted it from this week's list - along with Honolulu - as they were old entries!

I should be around blogging more often now that the jumps book is completed.

Good luck.
