Timeform Race In Focus

Below are the Top Five Weight Adjusted Timeform Ratings for the Listed Carlyon Stks

1. Villa Verde - 121

2. Shamal Wind - 120

3. Kencella - 112p

4. Minaj - 112

5. Angels Beach - 110p

Summary: Villa Verde's strong autumn campaign leaves her the best performed of these, narrowly ahead of Shamal Wind, and on straight form they look the two to be with here. Villa Verde was at her peak first time out last campaign while Shamal Wind is unbeaten in four fresh so tipping they will be ready to fire. Kencella has something to find against that pair but he remains on an upward curve and this does look to map out nicely for him.
