Bletchingly Stakes – 2023

Track: Good Weather: Fine

Ingratiating was disappointing last start but gets the right race to bounce back. Drawn well and Shinn is ideal booking. General Beau doesn’t win out of turn but this race suits. Tycoonist needs some luck but is a horse with plenty of upside. Mnementh is flying and should be hard to hold out again while It’sourtime loves racing here and should give a bold sight.

1. Ingratiating (3)

Poor last start and can bounce back in this race. Drawn well and gets its chance but does need to lift.

2. General Beau (1)

Doesn’t win out of turn and maps a little sticky from barrier 1. Needs to notch up another win but does find the right race.

3. Tycoonist (10)

Needs some luck and if it finds the gaps it is more than capable of winning this race. Relies on things to go right but this is within reach.

4. Regardsmaree (5)

Should be strips fitter for the fresh run and has a touch of class. Should give this race a shake.

5. Mnementh (6)

Flying this prep. Gets its chance in this field and should prove hard to beat again with Craig Williams back in the saddle.

6. It’sourtime (7)

Loves racing here. Doesn’t win out of turn but can prove hard to hold out.

7. Niccolini Vito (9)

Likeable first up effort and finds the right race. Hard to beat.

8. Windstorm (8)

Needs to find form again. Keep an eye on the betting.

9. Alpine Wolf (4)

Hard to knock the first up win. Much harder here but has the ability to figure.

10. Starlight Scope (2)

Can’t have.
