4/5
Hopeless task in Newbury's Super Sprint last time but earlier form - which included a novice auction win at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) - reads well in the context of this race. Easy surface a niggling concern stepping up to 7f but may still have too much.

No show at long odds on his debut but glimmers of improvement when seventh of 11 in a novice auction at Lingfield (extended 7f, good to soft) next time. Going the right way at least as he drops in class.

Totally unfancied and soundly beaten on both occasions in a couple of runs for Mark Tomkins earlier this summer. May do better for new yard in time but readily passed over on what she's served up so far.

Didn't stay 7f in a Carlisle nursery last time after racing too keenly but bits of pieces of promise on the AW previously. Has handled Southwell ok, so slow ground unlikely to be an issue here and could be worth a look dropping in grade.

April filly who is a half-sister to the 7f winner Pirate Look. Wouldn't need to be a stable star to kick off with a win in this company but the presence of a hood suggests temperament issues. Market the best guide.

Friendless in the market in all three starts so far, showing little to enthuse about, including over this C&D (good) last time. Drops sharply in grade now so not impossible she could get competitive.

Forecasts

Lexington Grace (4/5), Kheleyf's Girl (9/2), Little Poem (5/1), Rockwell Lloyd (8/1), Honey Blossom (16/1), Red Snapper (25/1)

Super Sprint participant Lexington Grace clearly sets the standard in this lowly affair but has a niggling stamina query to answer, so it may pay to take her on with ROCKWELL LLOYD who, if nothing else, is going the right way and hails from a yard which has won this race three times in the last decade. Kheleyf's Girl has also shown enough to be considered, whilst any market confidence behind Little Poem would be interesting.
  1. Rockwell Lloyd
  2. Lexington Grace
  3. Kheleyf's Girl
