Beaten 6¼L when when finishing sixth of 11 on debut over an extended 1m3f at Lingfield last month. Started a big price on that occasion and likely to have improved for the experience.

Well held 11th when making his debut over C&D on good ground last month. Made some late headway on that occasion and likely to fair better once tackling handicap company.

Maiden after six outings but placed on all three starts since being gelded last autumn. Latest of those came when finishing runner-up over 1m4f at Wolverhampton in a handicap off a mark 70 a month ago and likely to run well again here.

4/6
Odds-on favourite when finishing runner-up over 1m4f at Thirsk (soft) last month. Had previously filled the same position over 1m4f at Wolverhampton on his seasonal debut and likely to prove hard to beat dropping in trip today.

Unraced gelded son of Arcano. €17,000 purchase as a yearling in September 2015. Dam a half-sister to useful sprinter Hold Your Colour and worth a check in the market here.

Unraced Mastercraftsman filly bought for 32,000 gns as a yearling in 2015. Half-sister to winners Irish Eclare and Art Dzeko amongst others and probably best watched on debut.

Shaped as if a step up in trip would suit when finishing fifth of 14 on debut at Kempton over 1m in December. Disappointed at Wolverhampton later that month and may surprise a few tackling this trip for the first time today.

Forecasts

Steaming (4/6), Mancini (3/1), Shadow Warrior (9/2), Josh The Plod (16/1), Bermondsey Belle (20/1), Desert Song (50/1), Stellekaya (50/1), French Silver (66/1), Shamonix (66/1)

Verdict

STEAMING has run well twice in maiden races over further and shaped as if a drop in trip wouldn't inconvenience him when finishing runner-up at Thirsk on soft ground last time out. Shadow Warrior has been running well so far in 2017 including when third over this distance on his penultimate outing while Bermondsey Belle is likely to appreciate this step up in trip and can finish third today.
