Seven-race maiden who seems to have developed some serious issues during the winter. Would be getting weight from all of these if this were a handicap.

Bred to want further but drops in distance having been a bit too keen last time. Yard had a winner here on Thursday.

Off the track for quite a while and switched yards after a gelding operation, but has showed plenty of promise in his last three starts. Not out of this and drop in trip should be to his advantage.

Yet to win in 18 previous attempts and official ratings give her a lot to find with some of these.

9/2
Still a maiden after 21 races. Beginning to look inconsistent and if on one of her infrequent positive days she could land a race as poor as this.

6/1
Part of a group that finished in a heap at Kempton debut. Not knocked about in fifth and the fourth has won since. Related to five winners and will get few easier opportunities to add her name to that list.

Forecasts

Bob Hopeful (13/8), Frank Cool (2/1), Arcanista (9/2), Napping (6/1), Kristoff (12/1), Bella's Boy (66/1)

Verdict

It is hard to build a convincing case for any of these. Napping has only had one race so makes some appeal having had less chance to reveal her ability. In contrast Arcanista had had plenty of opportunities and is beginning to look disappointing. Frank Cool has run well in defeat of late. He didn't quite get home over 7f last time and is brought back down to this shorter trip. On BHA ratings he has a bit to find with BOB HOPEFUL who is dropping in distance for a yard that bring their horses along patiently. He is bred to want much further but his keen style may be better served by these shorter trips.
  1. Bob Hopeful
  2. Frank Cool
  3. Napping
