Well held in both start up to press and little sign of encouragement. Hood applied this time, which may prompt a better effort but still a lot more is required.

Steps up a furlong in trip but not been much to take from two previous outings over the minimum distance to suggest it will improve matters. Others more appealing.

Third on debut at Catterick was a decent effort but latest start at Wolverhampton was below that level. Step up in trip may help but still plenty of guesswork involved and big improvement is required.

Made smooth headway in the latter stages of his debut run at Kempton but no match for a ready winner. That form has taken a knock since but the Oasis Dream colt had the rest well held and could be a different proposition in this company.

Cost 36,000 gns, a half-brother to AW winning sprinter Clumber Street. Yard does well with this type, so worth a betting check at least.

4/5
Yard still going great guns and this fellow looks a decent prospect for a handicap at some point. Caught the eye in defeat on debut at Leicester but is sure to be wiser for the run and makes plenty of appeal with that experience to draw from.

9/2
Nabbed on the line at Bath latest, which was a big improvement from her debut run at Newbury. Going the right way but work to do if she's going to ever justify the 220,000 gns paid for her as a yearling. One to bear in mind all the same.

The trip ought to be OK on breeding but her yard isn't really noted for first time out winners, so significant enough concern to just take notes on this occasion.

45,000 gns daughter of top sprinter Acclamation, the filly ticks the boxes on pedigree. Yard's form in races of this nature a big concern, however, ans she's another that will most likely just benefit from the outing.

Forecasts

Red Cymbal (4/5), Fakhoor (11/4), Haylah (9/2), Filbert Street (12/1), Midnight Guest (25/1), Baileys Excel (25/1), Kachumba (33/1), Crikeyitswhykie (100/1), Broughton Excels (150/1)

Verdict

A chance is taken that RED CYMBAL will have thrived since his introduction at Leicester and is given the office as the selection in a modest looking novices event. Fakhoor was another that impressed on debut and has experience of an artificial surface, so merits plenty of respect, while Haylah was an expensive purchase but may just get better with time and experience. She appeal most from the rest at this stage.
