Has produced all of his best form on the fibresand at Southwell, and opened his account in decisive fashion when winning a handicap over 1m there earlier this month. Not guaranteed to back that up on a very different surface.

11/2
12 race maiden who once raced for David Lanigan, but appears difficult to pinpoint exactly what is his best trip. He's tried 1m2f or beyond unsuccessfully this season, so possibly worth a try over this slightly shorter distance.

Only the one win in 19 starts and little to suggest since returning from a six month break that she is about to add a second any time soon. That said, this represents a drop in class.

Precious few positives in his first four runs, though glimpses of promise when fourth of 12 off a lowly mark on his handicap debut over an extended 1m at Wolverhampton. More needed.

It took her 24 attempts but she did win a race here in March over a slightly shorter trip but she hasn't kicked on in three subsequent starts and is unraced since August. Possibilities on best form.

Filly went close in a weak maiden over 1m4f here in April and produced best effort since when second at Chelmsford (1m2f) earlier this month. Subsequent poor latest effort over C&D tempers enthusiasm, however.

11/1
A 17-race maiden who wasn't exactly knocking on the door before leaving her previous yard and one previous attempt over this sort of trip leaves her with stamina questions to answer.

6/1
Modest form in Irish maidens but signs of promise on her debut for this yard last month when third in an apprentices' event on soft ground at Beverley. Open to further progress and one of the more likelier ones.

Hasn't really built on the promise of her Lingfield debut over 7f as a juvenile, though some encouragement to be gleaned from three AW efforts earlier in the year. Fitness query to answer on her first start since June, watch the market.

Followed up a victory over an extended 7f on the turf at Lingfield by placing in handicaps at Chepstow and Leicester over 1m. Yet to race over a trip this far but dangerous to dismiss.

Forecasts

Medici Moon (11/4), Dream Free (11/2), Royal Melody (11/2), Power Home (6/1), Lucky Ellen (6/1), Mr C (8/1), Joyful Dream (11/1), Haldaw (12/1), Simply Clever (16/1), Subotal (22/1), Vivre La Reve (25/1), I'mwaitingforyou (25/1), Page Of Wands (33/1)

Verdict

A low-grade finale in which Medici Moon would take some stopping if able to back up the form of her recent fibresand win, but the operative is 'if'. Despite a less than ideal draw, preference is for the less exposed LUCKY ELLEN who showed clear signs of improvement on her first start for Jennie Candlish at Beverley recently, shaping as though this step up in trip would be in her favour. Mr C and Royal Melody are also considered in a poor race.
  1. Lucky Ellen
  2. Mr C
  3. Royal Melody
