Looks interesting for a trainer who won this with a similar sort last year. Yard have had four winners and three seconds with their last 11 runners.

Beginning to look exposed as moderate now. Has the pick of the form in this but it would not take anything special to finish ahead of her. Apprentice ridden on last two starts and stronger handling now employed.

Making handicap debut over new trip wearing a visor for the first time. Looks less likely than others based on what we have seen so far.

Has shown a bit more than a few of these and there were signs of progress last time. Sire's progeny do improve with time and she will appreciate this stiffer test.

Has not been knocked about in three runs to date. Yard are in tremendous form and had a rare Flat winner last week. One to note in the market.

Last of nine last time when sent off at 25/1. Up a further 4f in trip and tongue-tie now fitted. Needs to improve significantly.

Revealed some ability last summer before disappointing on slower surfaces in two latest starts. Stamina on dam's side of pedigree so longer trip may help. Yard's horses have been going well lately and it would be no surprise to see her put up a bold show.

Showed first signs of ability last time when fourth in a similarly weak contest. Ought to be thereabouts but would be vulnerable to a potential improver amongst the lightly raced contingent.

Forecasts

Bonnie Arlene (2/1), Arab Moon (7/2), Perla Blanca (5/1), Black Prince (6/1), Netley Abbey (7/1), Hi There Silver (12/1), Newton Heath (12/1), Flawed Diamond (16/1), Ciel Rouge (33/1)

Verdict

Most of these are making there handicap debuts having revealed little worthwhile ability in maidens. The market is going to be the best guide to finding the winner and ARAB MOON is one very much to watch in that regard. His yard could not be in better form and landed this in 2016 with the useful Captain Peacock who arrived here with a similar profile. Perla Blanca was not knocked about in three runs last season and is bred to do better as three-year-old over middle distances. Bonnie Arlene is the pick on form but she and Hi There Silver look vulnerable to any potential "dark horses" in the lineup. Black Prince, Newton Heath and Flawed Diamond are others worth noting in the market from yards that have been doing well lately.
  1. Arab Moon
