5/2
Sent off as the odds-on favourite on his Bath debut (5½f, soft) but beaten 13L. That was 14 months ago and his trainer has been patient with him. May be able to produce what was anticipated on that first run, but would like to see some market confidence in that theory.

5/2
Made a promising debut when runner-up (beaten 2L) at Nottingham (6f, good) last month, but couldn't go on from that at Salisbury next time. Far too soon to be writing him off and he did run last time as if this drop in trip might suit, so remains of interest.

Half-brother to four sprint winners and out of a 5f 2yo winning full-sister to 6f 2yo Group Two winner Mister Cosmi. Yard in decent form, though not noted for its debut maiden winners, so probably one to watch today.

9/2
Runner-up in one of these at Kempton in November and also beaten just 1L at Kempton next time, but has failed to go on from there, is exposed and there are other more likely winners here.

11/2
Has run well enough here on her last two outings over both C&D and 6f. Drops back to the minimum again this time and should be involved, but her rating suggests that she will be vulnerable to an improver/newcomer.

50/1
23L last of seven on debut here over 6f earlier in the month. Weakened out of that very quickly before the final furlong, so the drop in trip may help, but needs plenty of improvement to figure.

Forecasts

African Friend (5/2), Hollander (5/2), Indian Raj (4/1), Kings Academy (9/2), Pride Of Angels (11/2), Make Sail (50/1)

Verdict

A very moderate maiden where AFRICAN FRIEND might be good enough on his return to the racecourse after an absence. Henry Candy's gelding was a warm order before disappointing on his sole outing, so it is hoped that the ability he appeared to possess remains within going into a race that should not take much winning. Hollander looks the most likely danger and could return to form now dropped in trip, while Pride Of Angels looks next best.
  1. African Friend
  2. Hollander
