Looks to have some of the better form in this and showed more upped in trip for his handicap debut at Lingfield over 1m4f. Probably unsuited by what turned into a relative speed test and although he doesn't look the finished article he could do better here although the surface is an unknown.

Form in maidens over distances of a mile or shorter is only modest but would not be the first from this yard to improve for a move to this surface. Potential has to take be taken on trust stepping up 4f in trip but worth taking a look at with the cheekpieces going on for the first time.

Took well to the surface when winning a mile handicap on his last start at the track off a 6lb lower mark. By a sire with a good record here but this is a big step up in trip and while it's hard to be conclusive about if it will suit him he should be in the mix here if he does.

Only a modest performer but does have form on the surface (315) with the win coming in a mile maiden. Stable not in the best of form at the moment and her form isn't as progressive as some in this race.

Little impact in three maidens all over shorter trips at big prices the last twice on two different AW surfaces. Back from a break here having been gelded and up in trip but still best watched.

Handicap debutante who steps up significantly in trip here on a new surface. Last two runs have come in 7f turf sellers and it would take a significant improvement to take a hand here.

Shown little in three maidens all over shorter and well beaten last time out over 1m2f on her AW debut at Lingfield (1m2f). Runs from a 1lb out of the handicap here on a new surface with the blinkers going on for the first time.

Forecasts

Padleyourowncanoe (11/10), Look My Way (5/2), Log Off (11/2), Dirty Randy (9/1), Twiston Shout (16/1), Generous Times (40/1), Our Cilla (50/1)

Verdict

The surface here clearly suits Padleyourowncanoe but there is a doubt about the trip as he steps up 4f from his previous win here. Look My Way doesn’t look the finished article but does have potential but with this being a weak race a chance is taken with DIRTY RANDY from a stable that do well with their first time runners here.
  1. Dirty Randy
  2. Padleyourowncanoe
  3. Look My Way
