5/2
Made a winning debut when sent off 33/1 for a novice event over an extended 6f on good-to-firm ground here a month ago. Ran well when finishing a close third over this distance at Haydock (good) subsequently and likely to put in a bold show once more.

Unraced son of Lethal Force cost 45,000gns at the sales last November. Half-brother to Listed-placed Ma Petite Folie and worth a check in the market on racecourse debut.

Slowly away prior to finishing 6½L fifth of ten over 6f at Windsor (good-to-soft) on debut last month. Likely to have improved for the experience and has been a non-runner twice since.

Slowly away and green when finishing last of six over 6f at Nottingham (soft) on debut at the end of June. More needed if he's to figure in this contest.

7/1
Ran well when finishing 3½L fourth of eight over 7f at Ayr (good) on debut last month. Stable have a 22% strike-rate (2/9) recently and interesting to see if he can build on that here.

Well beaten when finishing ninth of ten over 7f at Redcar (good-to-firm) on debut. Softer ground forecast here likely to suit on breeding but needs to improve markedly to figure today.

Forecasts

Wasim (5/2), Faadhel (4/1), Make Good (6/1), Firby (7/1), Narcos (9/1), Perfect Hustler (10/1), Amazing Michele (14/1), Dream Mount (16/1), Ryedale Encore (16/1), Normandy Blue (20/1), Bertog (40/1), Airplane (40/1), Moxy Mares (50/1), Viking Way (66/1), Gardinia (66/1)

Verdict

WASIM has run to a good level of form on both starts so far. On breeding the selection should handle the softer ground here and he can record a second career victory in this 7f contest. The unraced Faadhel represents a leading stable here and this half-brother to a Group 3 winner can claim third today ahead of Make Good, a shock winner here last time out.
