Not knocked about in two maidens last term. Now wears a hood and cheekpieces for the first time. Best watched with a view to a future in handicaps.

Beginning to expose himself as a moderate performer. Tackles a new trip here for a trainer in good form who has found a suitably weak race for him.

Unraced half-brother to useful sprinter Glass Office amongst others and cost 25,000guineas as a yearling in 2015. No match for an easy winner last time but it was a significant step in the right direction.

11/4
Showed signs of temperament in the preliminaries before promising debut here but was too keen and faded badly when only beating one home over 1m2f last time. Carries obvious risks but hood tried for the first time and top rider engaged to coax him home.

Forecasts

Oxford Don (5/4), Wedding Breakfast (11/4), Major Cornwallis (3/1), Lightly Squeeze (13/2), Secret Salvage (14/1)

Verdict

There would be few in here you would like to rely on and it is easier to build a case against these runners. OXFORD DON has done least wrong and at least appears to be progressing but he would not be one to take a short price on. Major Cornwallis may only have to run to his modest BHA rating to make the frame whilst the temperamental Wedding Breakfast still makes more appeal than Secret Salvage.
  1. Oxford Don
  2. Major Cornwallis
  3. Wedding Breakfast
