7/2
47,000 gns yearling who shaped with promise on debut at Lingfield (turf) in early August when beaten 1¼L by Jazeel. However, he took a step backwards when next in action just three weeks later and hasn't been seen since. AW debut.

12/1
Unraced 14th foal by Intense Focus out of Hedera. Cost just €3,500, but is a brother to Newcastle specialist Intense Romance (5f/6f), and a half-brother to eight winners. Stable can ready a juvenile, so worth a precautionary check in the market.

2/1
210,000 gns yearling by Society Rock out of a Listed placed juvenile winning dam (Strange Music). Beaten 5½L into third by Music Society on debut at Chelmsford (7f) a fortnight ago, but should have taken plenty from that initial experience.

8/1
Hit the frame on both career starts thus far, including when 4L third to Champarisi over 1m here on debut in September. Possibly bogged down in deep ground at Pontefract latest (beaten 9L), and needs more tonight.

11/4
€80,000 yearling who is a half-sister to seven winners. Out-performed her 50/1 odds when beaten 1¼L by Peace Trail in a decent 6f contest here in September, but she's up in trip tonight, and you'll need to ignore her subsequent run at Wolverhampton.

8/1
Beaten 1¾L by Sardenya on her Nursery/AW debut at Lingfield in October (7f), and can be excused her latest disappointing effort (raced very wide), but a surprise if she's strong enough against some potentially more promising rivals tonight.

Forecasts

Strange Society (2/1), Cirrus Minor (11/4), Ambient (7/2), Not After Midnight (8/1), Sunhill Lad (8/1), Hocus Focus (12/1)

Verdict

Josephine Gordon made the headlines at the weekend when notching her maiden century at Wolverhampton, and STRANGE SOCIETY offers her the chance to add another success to her fast growing tally in a very winnable contest. Hugo Palmer's colt cost 210,000 gns as a yearling, and he made a pleasing start when finishing third to Music Society at Chelmsford two weeks ago. The stable isn't afraid to send some of their more promising horses on the long journey North to Newcastle, and he looks by far the most likely winner with the returning Ambient (AW debut) just about the pick of the remainder.
  1. Strange Society
  2. Ambient
  3. Cirrus Minor
