LUCKY 15 SELECTIONS

SEPTEMBER STARS (Windsor 7.30) has had four starts for Ralph Beckett and has yet to get off the mark, but there is every chance she will tonight in the 1m handicap. Beaten a length on her first two runs over a mile and 1m2f at Doncaster and Nottingham respectively, she found Listed company too hot at Goodwood next time. Pitched back into maiden company for her all-weather debut last time, she was not beaten far at Wolverhampton where the pace of the race did not suit. She tackles handicap company for the first time off a mark of 80 and while this looks a competitive 1m small-field event, with Jim Crowley doing the steering for a stable in flying form, the three-year-old holds every chance.

TOFFEE APPLE (Ayr 5.10) failed narrowly to land the hat-trick here last time, going down just over 2l to The Lynch Man in a modest 1m handicap. She was effectively 9lb higher than when scoring at Beverley on her penultimate over 1m2f, although it was her fourth run in the space of as many weeks, so she had a viable excuse. Trainer Keith Dalgleish has placed her well and she goes today in a 1m apprentices’ handicap off a mark of just 55. For a filly in form, the handicapper is playing with fire.

ROTHERWICK (Windsor 8.00) should have won at Windsor last time. Tom Marquand gave the Paul Cole-trained colt plenty to do and he went down by half a length to Prendergast Hill, having been held up a shade too long. On a losing streak of 13, he had started to drop down the weights but two runner-up placings in his last two means he is back up a 1lb to a mark of 85. Luke Morris, who was aboard when second to Fallen For A Star at Newcastle on his penultimate run, renews acquaintance with the four-year-old who should be able to turn the tables on Prendergast Hill in this 1m2f handicap.

GOODWOOD CRUSADER (Wolverhampton 6.10) had very little chance of beating Windsor Castle Stakes fourth Pretty Vacant on his second start at Lingfield and despite being easy to back, was not beaten too far. The third home in that 5f novices’ event has won since, while the winner was a close-up fourth in hot Sandown Listed race last time, so the form looks solid enough. The Richard Hughes-trained two-year-old son of Sir Prancealot comes up against one or two interesting rivals in a 5f maiden tonight, but he learned plenty last time and may put that experience to good use.
