3/1
Broke his duck at the 13th time of asking when winning an auction maiden at Wolverhampton last time out. Had previously finished third at the same track, he has an extra half furlong to contend with here but is a rare runner for his yard at this venue.

Ran well behind an impressive winner over 6f on his penultimate outing at Newcastle and shaped well on his first try at a mile at the same track last time out. Has an extra 2f to deal with here and interesting to see how he fares.

Arguably unlucky in running the last twice including when finishing fourth here having been short of room over this trip last time out. Finished strongly over 7f in a claimer prior to that under today's rider and every chance of him going well again here.

Headed inside the final furlong when finishing third of four here last month. Had been gifted a relatively easy lead at Wolverhampton the time before but only victory came in a seller at this track in November and another who could go well in this.

12/1
Remains a maiden after eight outings, seven of which have come on the AW. Beaten quite a way on her second try at 1m4f at Kempton earlier this month having been beaten less than three lengths at Wolverhampton the time before. Plenty to do at the weights here with blinkers applied for the first time.

14/1
Ran well over sprint distances as a two-year-old but proven a disappointment over longer trips since including on her first outing over 1m4f earlier this month. A bit to do at the weights here though yard have a 50% strike rate (2/4) in recent weeks.

Forecasts

Bazwind (9/4), Critical Thinking (5/2), Good Time Ahead (3/1), Life Won't Wait (8/1), Gog Elles (12/1), Affair (14/1)

Verdict

CRITICAL THINKING was beaten just a length under today's rider on his penultimate start over 7f here and didn't experience much luck in running when a well held fourth on his first try at this trip last time out. He can take this however at the chief expense of Good Time Ahead who was successful on his 13th start in a maiden event last time out and Life Won't Wait who has shown promise in his last two efforts in maiden company. 1. Critical Thinking 2. Good Time Ahead 3. Life Won't Wait
