Still a maiden after 24 runs on the Flat and switches back to maiden company here after several tries in handicaps. Well beaten in a C&D handicap last time out and plenty to do here.

Best effort came over this trip in early 2016 in a Wolverhampton maiden and has shown only fleeting glimpses of form since then. Well below form last time out at Newcastle and work to do to break his maiden here.

Six runs and six defeats tell their own story so far. Shown only very poor form so far over 6f and tries 5f for the first time in an effort to find some improvement.

Two starts so far, the better being over C&D in early November and a slight improvement on that run would see him in the mix here.

Form has looked fairly poor so far and struggled over 6f last time out at Wolverhampton in a nursery. Switches back to 5f here in a fairly weak maiden.

Couple of tries in maidens over 5f and 6f but well held on both and would need to show far more to take a hand here.

6/1
Just the one start so far over 6f at Newcastle when not beaten far by a couple of fancied ones. Bred more for stamina rather than speed so drop to 5f not sure to suit although this is a weak contest.

Forecasts

Gnaad (4/5), Hot Stuff (5/1), Scealtara (6/1), Deer Song (8/1), Glam'selle (10/1), Neptune Star (20/1), Oddsocks (50/1)

Verdict

Another maiden on the card and this one looks no stronger than the first with GNAAD looking to have a good chance of getting off the mark at the third attempt. His main rival – Scealtara – may well not be suited by this move back to 5f having looked more of a staying type last time out. Hot Stuff shades the decision over Deer Song for who takes the minor place and it would be a big surprise if either of these two were good enough to take this. 1. Gnaad 2. Scealtara 3. Hot Stuff
