Back in maiden company after being unable to get the verdict in any of his four handicaps last season. Since left Henry Candy for this yard, for whom he makes his debut today and should be competitive looking at this field.
Has made the frame once from 10 attempts, the last four in class six and seven contests. Cheek pieces that were fitted for recent seasonal return are retained here, but looks to have a mountain to climb to win this.
Gelded prior to his first run when last of 11 at Wolverhampton last month. Suffered the same fate, although not beaten as far, when tried at Chelmsford last time. Tries turf for the first time now and has a lot to prove.
Made the frame in one of these at Newcastle in September (7f) and has twice occupied the runner-up berth is two outings this season, both on the All Weather. Still sets the standard despite those defeats and while vulnerable, he might just have been found a good opportunity here.
Another gelded prior to his first start and has had two runs in similar contests over 1m in the past six week, failing to get competitive in either. Drops back significantly in trip, which looks a likely boost on pedigree, although beginning to looks like handicaps will provide his best chance of success.
Well beaten at Newmarket on debut last month and another who drops in trip today. Plenty of winning relatives over sprints trips on his page and with yard in form he could have a big say in the outcome.
Half-sister to eight winners, mostly at sprint trips. Yard can have debut winners, though they tend to come on for an outing and that may well be the case here. Precautionary market check suggested.
Put in one promising effort from three maidens last season and returns to the racecourse after the winter off with her yard in decent form. Will need to improve to win, but not by a huge amount.
Stable does as well at this venue as anywhere, though it needs leap of faith to see this filly, who has been well beaten in all four starts, to be good enough now dropped back in trip today.
Forecasts
Farook (4/9), Jack Nevison (4/1), Deciding Vote (5/1), Peace Dreamer (7/1), Shyarch (20/1), Higgy's Heartbeat (28/1), Pleadings (50/1), Socks And Shares (50/1), Proud Kate (125/1)
Jack Nevison has claims here if he is straight enough first time out, while a market check is advised regarding Deciding Vote and Peace Dreamer in order to gauge confidence. Farook sets the standard and will be no easy beat, but he is vulnerable and it might be worth chancing SHYARCH, who comes from a yard going well and could be well suited by this drop in trip.
