CHERRY COLA (NAP) has been winning over today’s trip at Yarmouth and Windsor. There still looked plenty more left in the tank last time and Sheena West’s progressive filly is taken to defy a penalty and land a four-timer. Ban Shoof ran poorly at Goodwood on his return having ended last year with a victory on the Polytrack here while Sawasdee was beaten only a length over 1m4f on the all-weather track here on his handicap debut. Baasem is another likely improver handicapping for only the second time but Famous Dynasty remains out of form.
Ban Shoof 14-1 (10-7) Mid-division, weakened over 2f out, 8th of 12, 23 1/2l behind Gloweth (9-11) at Goodwood 1m 1f hcp (5) gs in Jun.
Baasem (USA) 7-2jfav (9-6) Held up, pushed along over 2f out, some late headway, never a factor, 6th of 11, 3 1/2l behind Conundrum (9-5) at Leicester 1m 2f hcp (5) gd in May.
Cherry Cola 5-2fav (9-3) Slowly into stride, keen in mid-division on inside, switched sharply left over 4f out, hung right and went 2nd over 1f out, stayed on to lead inside final furlong, won at Windsor 1m 3f hcp fll (5) gf in Jul beating Scenesetter (9-2) by 1 1/4l, 9 ran.
Famous Dynasty (IRE) 40-1 (9-0) Held up, never dangerous, 11th of 12, 28 1/4l behind Sufi (9-10) at Bath 1m 5f hcp (5) gd in Jun.
Sawasdee (IRE) 7-4fav (9-5) Raced keenly, led 1f, steadied tracking leaders, headway over 1f out, 4th and one pace inside final furlong, kept on towards finish, 4th of 6, 3/4l behind Mondain (9-7) at Lingfield 1m 4f hcp (5) pol in Jun.
