Modest form overall as a juvenile and certainly had a very stiff task on his last run as a two-year-old. Comes back from a break here going handicapping for the first time and the yard have a good record with this sort at the track.
Showed some reasonable form in nursery company although ran a poor race on his last run as a juvenile in that sphere. No form on this surface though and his sire has a very modest record with his progeny at Southwell.
Still a maiden after seven attempts so won't lack for experience here but form tailed off on her last two runs last year. Best judged on her Nottingham third in September over 1m2f (didn't look to stay that far) in a race that contained plenty of subsequent winners.
Both starts in handicap company (one on AW) have proved uninspiring so far. Well held on his last three starts and needs to take a step forward here to figure.
Modest form in three maidens but stepped up on those runs on his nursery debut at Goodwood. That run showed him in a better light as he took on better company that was needed (drops in grade here) and the 7f trip looked barely adequate.
Modest form in three maidens but took a step forward on his nursery debut over C&D in December. By a sire who has a good record on the surface and his experience of the track could stand him in good stead here.
Seven starts as a juvenile the last in a seller without success. Modest second on his seasonal debut in a 7f handicap at Southwell (third has won since) and tries again on Fibresand over a furlong further in a similar race.
Just three starts in maiden company (well held in all three) and makes his handicap debut here. One previous try on the surface over 7f but more needed here.
Has shown little so far and finished a very laboured ninth on her last start over 7f on this surface.
Shown very little in five starts so far (last two in handicaps) and would need to show far more to take a hand here.
Forecasts
Daily Trader (11/4), Georgio (4/1), Come On Percy (5/1), Elegantly Bound (7/1), Greengairs (8/1), Medici Moon (11/1), Baileys Apprentice (12/1), Mungo Madness (16/1), Chillililli (100/1), Shadow Of Hercules (100/1)
These sorts of races are always fraught with danger at this time of year and especially when quite a few here have not run on this demanding surface before. Daily Trader is the obvious one given his experience on the surface and Come On Percy also has to enter the equation based on the same criteria. It may well pay to take a look at Georgio and GREENGAIRS, neither have any form on this surface but both come from yards that do well here and the latter in particular comes from a stable that do well with their horses the first time they run here.
