In a tongue-strap for his debut (retained here) and showed very little as a 20/1 chance on soft ground over a mile at Yarmouth in June.

4/6
Certainly doesn't or won't lack for experience here and has finished in the runner-up slot in his last three starts. A repeat of any of those runs would be good enough to take this and steps back up to 7f here and is the major player here.

9/4
Just the one run so far having been a very expensive yearling but not seen on a racecourse until he was three having previously been in the care of the Godolphin team but never ran for them. Green but showed some ability amongst that greenness on his debut (wore hood) and kept on over 6f without ever being a threat.

7/1
Looked as though the experience was badly needed when fourth on his debut at Ripon behind Don Valentino (winner again since) and was outpaced before halfway. This 7f trip should suit him a lot better and there looks to be some improvement to come.

16/1
Her form prior to her last start had looked very poor so the fourth over C&D in a maiden was an improvement on what she had done so far. Even a repeat of that run would still be short of what is required to win this.

25/1
Made her debut in an AW maiden at Kempton Park in April but finished well held having started at 66/1. Suspect it's a case of getting a handicap mark and taking things from there with this one.

Forecasts

Buxted Dream (4/6), Dark Magic (9/4), Mohsen (7/1), Dream Start (16/1), Small Mercy (20/1), Just Surprise Me (25/1), Lady Prima (25/1)

Verdict

Just about the weakest contest on a good card and it should offer a good chance for BUXTED DREAM to finally break his maiden having taken the runner-up slot in his last three races. The opposition doesn’t look deep with only Dark Magic and Mohsen looking capable of giving the market leader a race.
  1. Buxted Dream
  2. Mohsen
  3. Dark Magic
