Indomeneo²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Adam J McNamara⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 79

7/2

Soft ground winner at Lingfield but beaten odds-on favourite in heavy ground at Ffos Las two starts back and well beaten on the AW last time. Dropped 1lb by the handicapper and not ruled out if he bounces back with useful apprentice taking off 3lb.

Form: 212126

Trumps Up²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: L P Keniry| T: M R Channon| OR: 77| D

5/1

Cheap purchase who won at 14/1 on debut before following up at Thirsk last time out. Assessor given him a chance on handicap debut and more progress possible on ground he's proven on for a yard with a good strike-rate at this course (17.24%).

Form: 11

Poet's Dawn⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Rachel Richardson⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 76

7/2

Just one win from 10 starts so far but has given the impression he's ready to win again on a couple of his recent starts including a C&D handicap here last month. Vulnerable to less exposed types though and unproven on ground this soft.

Form: 365252

Jack Regan^b1²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: M Harley| T: C Hills| OR: 73

10/1

Still a maiden and unplaced on all four starts. This looks easier than some of his recent assignments but yard have been quiet of late and plenty of improvement needed for the fitting of first-time blinkers.

Form: 3667

(3)

Knight In Armour⁷⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 70

11/4

Runner-up in a poor maiden at Chester on second start and unplaced on both efforts either side of that. Could improve up in trip on handicap debut but has a bit to prove at present.

Form: 424

(4)

Panophobia¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: P Mathers| T: R A Fahey| OR: 68

11/1

Still a maiden after six starts but improved for AW debut at Kempton last time when narrowly touched off. 3lb rise for that not ideal and looks vulnerable on return to turf on soft ground.

Form: 667362

(5)

Normandy Blue³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: J P Sullivan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 67

10/1

Improved on third start when runner-up at Chester last time but form of that race taken plenty of knocks since and will have to improve for handicap debut.

Forecasts

Knight In Armour (11/4), Indomeneo (7/2), Poet's Dawn (7/2), Voicemail (4/1), Trumps Up (5/1), Normandy Blue (10/1), Jack Regan (10/1), Panophobia (11/1)

Trumps Up arrives here in a bid to defend his 100% record and the fact he's proven on soft ground is in his favour but preference is for VOICEMAIL who can be forgiven her effort last time out and has already proven herself over C&D. Indomeneo seemingly has the best chance of the Richard Fahey trio and talented apprentice Adam McNamara takes off a useful 3lb.
