HELIEORBEA has shown more than enough ability on the first two starts of his career to suggest he can get off the mark in the Blue Square Median Auction Maiden Stakes at Musselburgh.

The three-year-old was a complete outsider for his debut at Beverley but belied his starting odds of 40-1 when staying on well to finish third.

He was more strongly fancied on his next visit to East Yorkshire but he bumped into a Sir Michael Stoute hot-pot and had to make do with the runner-up spot.

Both his breeding and his style of running suggest this step up in trip can only serve to bring about further improvement and he looks difficult to oppose in what is a fairly moderate heat.

Argentine is in the form of his life and is taken to defy top-weight in the Blue Square Le Garcon D’Or Handicap.

The five-year-old hit the bulls-eye on four occasions during a busy June, starting off the month on a mark of 55 and scoring off 74 at Hamilton last time.

The style of that success suggests the assessor may not have caught up with him just yet.

Pyrus Time is becoming a frustrating individual to follow but he can reward those who keep the faith in the Teresa Peace Memorial Maiden Handicap at Brighton.

The three-year-old has finished second on his last four starts at Lingfield but there does not appear to be any doubt about his resolution and he just seems to keep finding one too good.

It remains to be seen whether or not he will be as effective on turf as he is on the all-weather, but it is worth taking a chance in a race of this nature.

Henry Cecil does not send too many runners to Ripon so it is well worth siding with Acquisition in the Go Racing In Yorkshire Handicap.

The three-year-old was making ground hand over fist when fourth on her debut at Windsor and she confirmed a step up to a mile and a half was right up her street when scoring readily at Leicester.

An initial handicap mark of 74 looks very workable and as Cecil’s only runner of the evening, she should not be left out of calculations.

Applause showed a good level of ability as a juvenile and could well be one to watch this season ahead of her return in the sportingbet Maiden Fillies’ Stakes at Windsor.

The daughter of Danehill Dancer was pitched straight into conditions company for her debut but was far from disgraced in finishing third.
