Bargain basement buy who was last of eight in a C&D seller just under a month ago; that his lone race to date. Impossible to fancy.

8/13
Four races to date have seen steady improvement and his second over 7f at Chelmsford latest definitely sets the standard. Looked as if 1m would suit there so difficult to find chinks in his armour.

4,000gns yearling by Cityscape out of a Listed placed dam who won from 7f-1m2f. Trainer 0-18 with two-year old newcomers in last five years so best watched here.

Ran greenly and ultimately finished seventh of nine beaten 12L on debut at Chelmsford. Plenty of scope for improvement but some 11L to make up with Demons And Wizards on that run.

Last in both starts for previous yard at Kempton and Salisbury beaten double digit lengths in each. Change of stable unlikely to bring him into the reckoning.

Age: 2|  Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: S Kirk
20/1
Likeable breeding but this would appear to be her bare minimum if she has inherited her dam's stamina. Two previous starts over 7f and 1m both uninspiring with her fading in each.

33/1
10,000gns yearling by Shirocco out of a 7f-1m2f winner (including AW) from a stout family. Bred for middle distances and trainer 0-31 with two-year old newcomers in last five years.

7/1
Raced keenly before fading to be beaten 12½L when seventh of 11 on debut earlier this month over 1m at Newcastle. Better possible if she settles but no more than place hopes.

Winged Spur7
Age: 2|  Weight: 8-11| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston
11/4
Third of 11 here on debut in November was a promising start but she was well beaten next time when fourth of seven at Newcastle. More to do but looks the main danger to the likely fav.

Forecasts

Demons And Wizards (8/13), Winged Spur (11/4), Now Say Yes (7/1), Lawn Ranger (20/1), Ainne (20/1), Lenin (20/1), Ragstone Sand (25/1), Maytheorsebewithu (33/1), Cornish Point (66/1)

Verdict

This should prove a straight forward task for DEMONS AND WIZARDS who has been found a soft race here. He has far and away the best form and looks like he could take this quite comfortably. Winged Spur should chase him home with her relatively modest form still well above the majority here. Lenin was well behind the selection latest but could come on for the run enough to grab third.
  1. Demons And Wizards
  2. Winged Spur
  3. Lenin
