7/2
Probably bettered his debut run (green) when beaten 6L by odds-on winner Cape Coast over C&D last month (good to firm). Similar conditions are expected, so should run his race without appearing an ultra progressive sort.

7/1
Finished in mid-division over this trip on debut at Doncaster earlier this month (good to firm) in a race won by Royal Associate. Can be expected to build upon that effort, but needs to and might be seen in a better light once handicapping.

4/9
His 1¾L third to Shadow Warrior over 1m2f at Windsor on his penultimate start is the pick of his three starts in maidens, but he needs to prove his stamina over this trip and has to produce a fraction more to play a hand.

12/1
Unraced fifth foal by Frankel out of Drifting who was sold cheaply (5,000 gns) at Newmarket in May. Half-brother to a couple of winners, notably Allegria (middle distance winner). Market should provide some guide.

Forecasts

Mancini (4/9), Steaming (1/1), Itsalonglongroad (2/1), Count Simon (7/2), Grey Mist (7/1), Seirios (12/1)

Verdict

A moderate maiden which won't take all that much winning. STEAMING looks the form pick on his half length second to Key Bid at Thirsk in May, but one needs to be a little cautious given that he has been disappointing subsequently. A couple of the other runners need to prove their stamina, notably Irish raider Itsalonglongrood, so perhaps the rather paceless Count Simon is the most suitable forecast choice.
  1. Steaming
  2. Count Simon
  3. Itsalonglongroad
