Poor effort last time and needs to be revitalised by the application of first-time blinkers. Now 3lb higher than last winning mark so needs to be at his best.

A dual C&D winner whose best form has come with cut in the ground. Recent efforts not up to scratch and others appear to hold stronger claims.

Lightly raced and already been dropped 5lb by the handicapper before she has even had an attemtp at racing in a handicap. Stiff test ahead for the 3-y-o on these terms.

0-15 so far and is running out of chances. Cheekpieces replace the ineffective hood that was applied last time but more of the mundane same expected.

Two starts since being gelded have brought nothing in return; may improve for tacking this new trip but too much guesswork involved to assume he is worthy of a punt.

Sound claims on the pick of his form and has gone well over C&D, so makes the shortlist as one to bear in mind. Worth noting that he is still a maiden after 10 previous starts though.

Modest form at best in maidens and now has a lot to prove after being well beaten on handicap debut. Switch to turf may bring about some improvement though.

4/1
Goes well at this course and new trainer looks to be finding the key to unlocking her potential. More required for her to finally get off the mark at the eleventh time of asking. But this is a weak event and she may well rise to the challenge.

Has won over this trip on the Fibresand and recent form has suggested a return to that arena may be more profitable than a turf campaign. Stable's best chance looks to lay with Ss Vega.

Brings uninspiring form figures over from Ireland and is hard to fancy back over 7f in the first-time blinkers.

Yard respected with its raiders at this course but this fellow is difficult to fancy on the evidence available and others appeal more.

Showed improvement when stepped up to 7f in a classified stakes at Newcastle last time out. Unexposed on turf and maker his handicap debut at a very realistic level. Interesting contender.

Probably ran to his mark when well held in better company latest; this more his level but hasn't been seen on turf since disappointing efforts at Redcar last winter.

Forecasts

Ss Vega (4/1), Hollywood Harry (9/2), Magic Journey (7/1), Highly Focussed (7/1), Legend Status (11/1), Rioja Day (12/1), New Decade (12/1), Bonnie Gals (12/1), Kings Of Luxor (14/1), The Bard's Advice (16/1), Diamond Avalanche (18/1), Vintage Dream (20/1), Nellie's Dancer (22/1), Riponian (33/1)

Verdict

Jim Goldie may again hold the ace here as SS VEGA is presented with a decent opportunity to strike whilst she is in good heart. Her course form reads well and she can finally get her head in front to gain compensation for numerous near misses. Hollywood Harry and Highly Focussed are others with a similar profile and can make this competitive.
  1. Ss Vega
  2. Hollywood Harry
  3. Highly Focussed
