Selected odds by:
Winner of 7f Newcastle novice in February and runner-up all 4 additional starts at up to 8.6f on the AW. Wasn't disgraced all things considered upped to this trip on turf debut at Redcar (1¼m, good to soft) and perhaps the forecast quicker ground here will be more suitable.
|
Shaped well in useful 7f novice events at Newmarket and Salisbury on first 2 starts as a 2-y-o. Has failed to progress since being gelded, though, and needs to get back on track now handicapping in first-time cheekpieces.
|
Has shown ability in a trio of novice events, including when fifth of 10 over this trip at Newmarket's Craven meeting (form is working out pretty well). Drop back to 1m counted against him last time and needs a second look returned to this trip for his handicap bow.
|
Off the mark in a Carlisle novice last August and, gelded during the winter, resumed with an improved effort in a handicap at Beverley (1¼m, good) where he split a couple of race-fit and in-form rivals. Big player.
|
Stepped up on what he showed in novice company when a close third on nursery debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in November. However, has failed to build on that in 2 subsequent starts, including when upped to 12.3f on his recent reappearance here (heavy), and now tried in a visor.
|
Promise in couple of 7f maidens prior to an improved second upped to a mile in a Haydock novice in September. Failed to progress on return/handicap debut at Brighton (1¼m, good) but that run was probably needed and she's not discounted.
|
Off the mark for present yard in first-time cheekpieces at Newcastle (7f) earlier this year. Lost little caste in defeat when second in a 4-runner Nottingham handicap (10.2f, heavy) back from a 2-month break and forecast quicker ground here shouldn't be a problem (2-y-o debut win was on good).
|
Finally got the job done on his reappearance (first start following a wind op) at Newcastle (1m) in April. Decent sixth back at this trip in a Beverley handicap 11 days ago but fair bit to find with the runner-up Perfect Play on that evidence.

Forecasts
Perfect Play (9/4), Razoni (4/1), Orange Martini (9/2), Look Back Smiling (6/1), Playactor (13/2), We Could Be Heroes (12/1), Eagle Prince (16/1), Dragonball Prince (18/1)
Several of these are appealing but PERFECT PLAY gets the nod on the back of his solid reappearance second at Beverley and he could prove hard to peg back round here. Next on the list is Razoni, who probably didn't show his full hand switched to turf at Redcar where he took a bump and became unbalanced at a crucial stage of the race. Look Back Smiling and Orange Martini both have claims, while handicap debutant Playactor is also worthy of consideration.
- Perfect Play9/4
- Razoni4/1
