Buick can lift Gold Cup on top class TV card at Monmore

He wore it when registering his last success over course and distance and, if leading or turning handy, is a tenacious sort who will be hard to contain.

Trapeze the class act in Trafalgar Cup Final

T1 Droopys Trapeze has won his last three starts over course and distance in impressive fashion and looks a worthy odds-on favourite to complete the four-timer in the Trafalgar Cup Final (20:41).

Jimmy Wright’s youngster is a very exciting prospect blessed with stacks of early pace and produced the fastest time in the heats when making all to score by 1 1/4 lengths in 28:20.

Although that was only 3/4 of a length quicker than main market rival T3 Teejays Apache, the selection is far more consistent at the traps.

His last three sectionals have been 4.32, 4.31 and 4.33, and Trapeze should have no problem grabbing the rail and bossing the inside with a similar exit.

If doing so the son of Tullymurry Act can lead the bend and sustain the gallop for another trap-to-line success.

Shellam to sizzle in Summer Classic Final

Wright looks to hold major claims of landing a third big pot of the night with T5 Shellam Delano in the Summer Classic Final (20:56).

The son of Westmead Hawk is two from four at the venue and clocked the fastest time in last week’s heats when showing more early pace than usual to beat Melodys George by 1 3/4 lengths.

A similar start can see Shellam turn in a handy pitch behind the likely trailblazer T3 Ballymac Ramsey and, with T1 Fearsome Phantom sure to mount a challenge on the inside at some point, there is a possibility of some trouble on the rails between the pair.

If that is the case, the selection will hopefully be in a position to punish any mistakes and use his power-packed finish to maximum effect.
