8. Very Blue Moon (IRE) – 98.0

Analysis and assessment of the top contenders:

1. Mauna Loa: Mauna Loa has the highest total rating and ran well in a Thirsk maiden on debut. With a close second-place finish at Carlisle, the horse looks ready for the extra furlong and is expected to make a bold bid.
2. Whoop Whoop: Whoop Whoop has shown promise in both starts, with the penny dropping late on debut at Salisbury and running well from the front at Kempton. Setting a good standard, the horse could be hard to pass in this race.
3. Mummy Peas (IRE): Despite a little impact in a maiden at Beverley on debut, Mummy Peas is well-bred and hails from a family of winners. With potential for improvement, the horse is worth considering.

Additional considerations based on positive comments:

• Brandaisy: Brandaisy, a Twilight Son filly, looked one for the longer term in a fillies’ novice at Ripon on debut. While the horse may need more time, it’s worth keeping an eye on her progress.

Exceptional chance based on comments:

Based on the comments, Mauna Loa stands out as the top contender with a strong total rating and a close second-place finish at Carlisle. Whoop Whoop also has a good chance based on positive comments, with promising performances in both starts. These two horses should be considered as the top contenders in this race.

2. Forceful Speed (IRE): Successful twice as a 2-year-old, Forceful Speed possibly needed the run on return at Doncaster. With a first-time hood and tongue strap, the horse’s previous form and the step up in trip make him a contender in this race.
3. Cockalorum (IRE): Cockalorum has fallen a long way in weights and showed effectiveness when winning from the front at Ripon. With a fourth-place finish at Chester, the horse shapes well and requires consideration.
4. Shimmering Sands: Shimmering Sands has shown progress as a 3-year-old, winning twice and shaping well in a recent third-place finish at Doncaster. With a first-time tongue strap and a promising performance after a break, the horse should be kept on the right side and is a contender.

Additional considerations based on positive comments:

• Eeetee (IRE): Eeetee quickly put a disappointing York run behind and won two out of three starts this campaign. Although the horse was a shade too free over a longer distance at Beverley, a better performance is expected over this trip.

Exceptional chance based on comments:

Based on the comments, Prophets Dream stands out as the top contender with a strong total rating and a successful hat-trick bid at Leicester. Forceful Speed also has a good chance based on positive comments and previous success as a 2-year-old. These two horses should be considered as the top contenders in this race.

3. The Thin Blue Line (IRE): The Thin Blue Line produced a career-best performance at Musselburgh in April and followed it up with a narrow defeat at Hamilton. Although below-par in his last two outings, the Epsom run was not ideal, and he could bounce back here.

Additional considerations based on positive comments:

• Shalaa Asker: Shalaa Asker has already won three times this year, including a victory at Chelmsford City. With a strong recent performance at Beverley, he should be considered despite the disadvantageous stall 12.
