Bred to appreciate this trip but reverts to the Flat after a couple of unsuccessful spins over hurdles and is very hard to fancy on the evidence available.

Likeable pedigree and showed ability when finishing second in two of his three previous starts. Sets a pretty high standard for a race of this nature and it will take a good one to pull him back if he runs anywhere near his current mark.

Made little impression on his debut last month and needs to be a lot sharper from the gates if his going to keep tabs on some of these. Nice breeding, all the same.

A half-brother to Dubawi Dancer and Srinagar Girl, who both coped with this sort of trip. Worth noting in the betting but likely to need the experience.

Brushed aside the likes Forestry last time out and looked to be going the right way; even though he couldn't land a blow on a well supported winner. This looks a natural progression and he makes the shortlist as one to consider now he has proved he has trained on.

Cost 30,000 gns and is making steady progress. His yard has been quiet of late but they will at least know which direction to take with this fellow after this. One to keep on the right side.

Glimpses of ability last season and may have just had enough after a busy little spell when last seen out. Sure to have been freshened up by the break, he represents a yard that has turned the corner and should not be underestimated.

8/1
Cost €40,000 and is bred to at least cope with middle distances. Type to do better in handicaps though and needs to step things up a touch after fading near the finish at Kempton earlier in the month. Yard won this race last year.

Always behind on debut at Leicester never seemed to be going the pace. Breeding doesn't suggest 10f is going to be his forte and best watched.

Took plenty of stoking along on debut at Kempton 12 days ago and needs to have improved out of all recognition to even stay the pace - very difficult to make a strong case out for her just now.

Forecasts

Kasperenko (7/4), Regicide (2/1), Wordsearch (4/1), Golden Wolf (5/1), Zamalight (8/1), Geordielad (33/1), Book Of Dust (100/1), Luna Bear (100/1), Forestry (100/1), Masked Bandit (150/1)

Verdict

An interesting maiden that may well produce a small number of winners in time. The likes of: Wordsearch, Golden Wolf and Regicide all appeal as ones to keep tabs on for future reference; the last named especially as, from a mark of 83, he sets the standard for the time being. However, KASPERENKO has an eye-catching chance on these terms and, given that the form of his last start has worked out quite well, he get the nod as the one to be on this time around. Geordielad also appeals as one to monitor closely in the betting.
