Two wins from 13 outings in France at up to 12f. Makes British debut here and doesn't appear obviously well treated. Any market confidence though would be worth taking into account.

Only decent effort this term came over C&D two starts ago when narrowly beaten. A simliar performance would give this mare a chance even though she runs now off a 2lb higher mark.

Just one win from 21 starts but went close here in April. Recent A/W effort suggests he could be approaching his peak and looks one to consider in an open event.

6lb higher than when winning over C&D last month and subsequently ran too bad to be true at Yarmouth. Needs to take another step forward on balance and may find a few too good for her.

Won here in May and ran a good second back over C&D soon after. Poor run though here last time and looks vulnerable, especially if the ground eases at all.

10/3
Step up to this trip here last time out appeared to bring about an improved display. Still maiden though after 10 attemps and sneaking suspicion that she may need to drop a pound or two before breaking her duck.

Won Leicester mile nursery last term and worth a second try at this longer trip. Good apprentice on board and not without hope if seeing it out.

Forecasts

Greenview Paradise (10/3), Bal De Rio (4/1), Snookered (9/2), Katebird (9/2), Bromance (6/1), Strummer (13/2), Lopito de Vega (10/1), Dream Free (10/1), Perceived (12/1)

Verdict

Although she has plenty of weight, the return to this track should help PERCEIVED and a reproduction of her run here last month might just prompt her to spring a surprise. In a race where there are question marks about almost all the runners, ex-French Bal De Rio is the joker in the pack, while Strummer might be coming back to form judged on his last run and he is respected, along with the consistent Greenview Paradise. Snookered and Dream Free are others who have claims in a very open event.
