Opened his account at the second time of asking in a three-runner maiden at Yarmouth, but did too much, too soon when well down the field in a York handicap. Looks to have plenty of ability, but needs to be ridden more conservatively.
Won a 7f maiden at Yarmouth on debut, but was last of three in a nursery at Newmarket on his only other start at two. Reappears on a high enough mark and has to prove his stamina for this trip.
Off the mark on his second outing when landing a Lingfield maiden, but was hampered and stumbled on his only subsequent start in a Chelmsford handicap. That run is best ignored and he is respected in an open contest.
Showed a fair level of ability when winning on her debut at Lingfield in February, but the switch to turf at Goodwood last time saw her finish only sixth of seven. This is an easier contest and she has already proven that AW surfaces suit.
Ran well to be second on his debut at this track, but two outings on turf have not been so encouraging. Steps up a furlong in trip and runs in a handicap for the first time, so worth a second look on a surface which suits.
Finished second at this track on his second run as a juvenile, but ran as though still in need of the experience when down the field on his return at Windsor. Steps into handicap company, but may need more time to fulfil his potential.
Has burst into life on his last two starts, winning at this track and at Chepstow. Has gone up only 5lb for those wins and shapes as though this extra distance will suit. Leading player.
Fours wins in maiden company have produced only limited encouragement and he steps into handicap company for the first time. Goes up markedly in trip, too, so questions to answer.
Showed little as a juvenile, but first two runs at three yielded wins at this track and Lingfield. Well held at Goodwood last time, but the return to the AW will suit and he looks a major contender for the champion jockey.
Did not pull up any trees on his first three starts, but the switch to handicap company at Nottingham last time worked the oracle. Likely to go on improving and the extra furlong of this race should suit admirably. Could well be ahead of the handicapper.
Showed plenty of promise in three maidens at two, including in two contests at this track. Looks on a handy mark for his return and can go well for his canny stable.
Looked promising when landing a Salisbury maiden as a 2yo, but has cut little ice in two starts this season. Too soon to be writing off, but needs to show a little more.
Only limited promise in eight starts, he needs to benefit from the big step up in trip to land a blow in a competitive handicap.
Forecasts
Nathan Mayer (10/3), Arab Moon (11/2), Ply (11/2), Arctic Sea (8/1), Sussex Ranger (9/1), Footman (12/1), Winston C (12/1), Investigation (14/1), Solajan (20/1), Falcon Cliffs (20/1), Gravity Wave (20/1), Second Page (25/1), Presence Process (40/1)
Several of these could be a step or two ahead of the handicapper, including hat-trick seeker Arctic Sea, Arab Moon, Solajan and Ply, but the one who could be most open to improvement is Nathan Mayer, who represents leading connections and can rate higher than this in time. Investigation and Winston C are not out of it despite their big weights,
- Nathan Mayer
- Arab Moon
- Arctic Sea
