3/1
Three wins from 11 starts but has looked more effective on turf than the AW from a limited sample size and jockey has a poor record with first-time runners in a handicap on the AW (3.23%).

5/2
Punished harshly for finishing second in a muddling Class 2 affair by the handicapper and need to come down from this mark to be of interest.

25/1
Placed on debut on the AW but not shown much on a synthetic surface since then. Unlikely to get the easy lead that's likely to suit and jockey yet to place from 10 rides.

6/4
Very consistent but not well-handicapped as a result and vulnerable to less exposed sorts.

6/1
Showed improved form for this yard when getting her head in front for this yard last time in a seller but more needed back in this company, especially when considering she's out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Juan Horsepower (6/4), Scuzeme (13/8), Monte Cinq (5/2), Merry Banter (3/1), Pulsating (6/1), Grecian Divine (25/1)

Verdict

SCUZEME could be a progressive sort and while he needs to build on his last performance, there's a good chance he's showing plenty more at home than on the track with the way he's been backed in his career. Merry Banter has looked a little better on turf than the AW but there's a chance she's still improving while Juan Horsepower should pick up the pieces if any of the likely market leaders under-perform.
  1. Scuzeme
  2. Merry Banter
  3. Juan Horsepower
