The form of his recents starts sets the standard in this grade. Finished just behind Damocles on debut and has improved since. His winning relatives have only scored on AW tracks so that provides a positive. Trainer 4-18 with first time blinkers.

Has shown little at big prices on both starts and faces another struggle here with his yard going through a quiet spell.

11/4
125,000 gns son of High Chapparal and full-brother to a minor 1m4f winner. Makes a belated appearance on a tricky course for a newcomer and over a trip which looks on the short side.

Bred for further but his keen style of racing makes this drop to a mile a wise move. Form is nothing special but has been found a weak enough race in which to make his presence felt.

4/1
12-race maiden who continues to be found lacking in a finish. Return to a fast surface is a positive as is the drop in grade.

Has not shown any of the ability that should go with this pedigree. Off the track since April and needs to show he has improved in the interim.

Tailed-off on both starts and best watched on debut for new handler. Related to an AW winner in Ireland.

Best effort came here over 1m2f in April when third to Regicide. Hood worn last time is removed when he reportedly choked. Appears to be going the wrong way and current stable form is a concern.

Half-sister to 9f winner Monterey Jack with the dam a winner over a mile and a half sister to the smart winner at up 1m1f Needwood Blade. Failed to live up to that pedigree on debut but plausible she will improve for this quicker surface.

Dam was a fibresand winner and this lightly raced filly has produced two promising AW efforts. Little wrong with the form of her C&D debut and she will improve for her latest run after a four month break.

Forecasts

Dawaaleeb (11/8), Francis Xavier (11/4), Damocles (7/2), Mr Tyrrell (4/1), Hats Off To Larry (15/2), Yogiyogiyogi (12/1), Zamalight (16/1), Country'n'western (20/1), Tango Fire (25/1), What A Welcome (100/1), Fire Whirl (100/1), No Damage (100/1)

Verdict

Mr Tyrell and Damocles represent top yards and both drop in class for this. There are question marks against both and YOGIYOGIYOGI has a more appealing profile. She struck the front early in the straight at Chelmsford before lack of a run told close home. That followed a good effort on debut here in a race that has worked out well. Dawaaleeb sets a slightly better standard on form and looks the type to improve for the switch to a synthetic surface. The stable have been finding winners hard to come by lately but he rates a danger in this lowly grade. Hats Off To Larry drops in trip and as a free going sort that could be a beneficial decision.
