9/2
Run well on UK debut and better can be expected now. Has some quirks but seems capable of building on his second at Chelmsford. Drops back in trip.

16/1
Needs to learn to settle better and the fact he's dropped into a maiden when he's now eligible for a handicap wouldn't be a big confidence boost for his backers.

6/1
Ran okay in an AW bumper at Lingfield. Drop back in trip looks a smart move after he traveled well for a long way that day. Any market moves may prove significant but hard to have full confidence behind.

Seaborn34
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-7| J: David Probert| T: S Hodgson
66/1
Showed nothing in two AW starts to date and qualifies for a mark after this race so handicaps seem a more likelier winning route.

4/9
Seems to be getting better with each start and a little unlucky not to get his head in front last time. Step up in trip looks a positive.

Ran a career best at big odds last time but that was a weak contest and plenty more needed here.

Nothing Compares48

50/1
Showed very little in two starts to date and can enter handicaps after this so others preferred.

Forecasts

The Blues Master (4/9), Burning Heat (9/2), Tambour (6/1), Condamine (16/1), Nothing Compares (50/1), Seaborn (66/1), Gog Elles (100/1)

Verdict

THE BLUES MASTER has shown a good enough level of form to take this and he seems to be progressing steadily. French recruit Burning Heat may be able to grab a place if he can build on his UK debut last time out and any market support for Tambour should be noted for shrewd connections. 1. The Blues Master 2. Burning Heat 3. Tambour
