Summer Socials At Southwell Racecourse Handicap
Midfield - steady headway over 2f out - pressed leader when ridden inside final furlong - led narrowly inside final 110yds - just did enough (trainer said - regarding the apparent improvement in form; that filly has strengthened with age and had appreciated the step up in trip to 1m from 7f - which was noted; filly was routine tested)(tchd 14/1)
Got off the mark at Wolverhampton (7f) in February and has continued in good form, third of 11 in 7f Chelmsford handicap four weeks ago; in the mix again stepped up to 1m.

Bumped rival start - towards rear - pushed along and steady headway over 1f out - on outer when edged left inside final furlong - led narrowly inside final 110yds - kept on(op 5/1)
Took keen hold - pressed leaders early - in touch with leaders after 2f - prominent from over 1f out - kept on but no impression inside final furlong(op 40/1)
Ducked right start - in rear - outpaced under 2f out - no chance but kept on inside final furlong (jockey said gelding jumped right-handed from stalls)(tchd 40/1)
Daughter of Oasis Dream who finished well held on all her three starts at 2yrs, seventh of ten in 7f Kempton novice in October; cheekpieces go on for her return/handicap debut and this half-sister to the stable's smart miler Accidental Agent could still do better.

Son of Cotai Glory who took a step forward on his first go in handicaps when fourth of 11 at Wolverhampton (8.5f) last month, leading until over 1f out; he must enter calculations for his in-form handler.

Summer Socials At Southwell Racecourse Handicap
Prominent - raced in third after 1f - outpaced over 1f out - rallied inside final furlong - not pace to challenge(op 7/2)
Soon led - headed but prominent from over 1f out - hung left and weakened inside final furlong - hampered inside final 110yds (jockey said gelding suffered interference inside final furlong)
Made the frame five times as a juvenile (from 6f to 1m) but she came in last of ten on her return in 8.5f Wolverhampton handicap 24 days ago; cheekpieces go on now.
A dual AW scorer at Chelmsford (7f) and Newcastle (1m2f) last autumn; tongue tied when failing to beat a rival on her seasonal return though in 1m Newcastle handicap 19 days ago so has something to prove.

Summer Socials At Southwell Racecourse Handicap
Took keen hold - soon led - headed and pressed leader after 1f - disputed lead over 5f out - weakened quickly over 1f out(op 28/1)
Prominent early - in touch with leaders after 3f - headway from over 1f out - ran on well inside final furlong - led towards finish - ran on (trainer said - regarding the apparent improvement in form - that gelding benefitted from a drop in grade from a Class 5 event to a Class 6 event)(op 12/1)
Advanced her form on her handicap debut when fourth of eight at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 27 days ago, despite going very freely; this daughter of Earthlight looks capable of better still, especially if more tractable in a first-time hood; likely player.

Opened her account at Redcar (1m) in September but failed to go on in four subsequent runs, only sixth in 1m Newcastle nursery in December; she needs to take a big step forward.

Has improved with each of her three starts for her current yard, posting an excellent third of nine on her handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.5f) 16 days ago; she can go well again off an unchanged mark in a refitted hood.
