Has hinted at ability over hurdles but has ultimately failed to get off the mark in seven attempts, and AW maidens clearly weren't the initial plan.

Didn't show much when making his belated racecourse debut earlier in the year. Needs to show much more or else will finish down the field again.

Well-beaten in two bumpers in the past couple of months and difficult to see him having a say here on Flat debut on the basis of those performances.

Fastnet Rock filly from a good quality dual-purpose family, and is worth a check in the market here even if the fact he has already been gelded and wears blinkers is a mild concern.

Has had a few chances to get off the mark but went close at Windsor in August and this is likely to be easier than the handicap he finished fourth (of five) in at Wolverhampton last time.

Beaten 27L on racecourse debut at Kempton last time out over 1m. Unlikely to find the requisite improvement stepping up in trip and with that run under his belt.

Yet to show too much in three starts in AW maidens. Needs marked improvement in order to trouble the leading contenders here.

Beaten 29L on debut at Kempton last time out and needs to leave that form a very long way behind in order to even have a chance of placing here.

Beaten only a head in an AW maiden at Chelmsford last time out over 1m. Has also run well over this trip in the past and has shown she has the ability to get off the mark here.

Has run some very nice races in the past, including over this trip. Made a promising start for this trainer at Chelmsford last time with the potential of more to come.

Not disgraced in two bumpers but was beaten favourite at Chelmsford last time on Flat debut. Needs to improve from that but did have some excuses.

Forecasts

Colourful Career (11/4), Line Of Beauty (10/3), Relevant (9/2), Burrumbeet (6/1), I'm Right On Time (15/2), Shaella (14/1), Hail Cloud (20/1), Faheem (20/1), Napoleon (25/1), Barrsbrook (33/1), Reedway (33/1), Catherinethegrace (80/1)

Verdict

Perhaps this can go to LINE OF BEAUTY. This daughter of Helmet ran very well to be beaten only a head in an AW maiden at Chelmsford last time, but is just as effective over this trip and though she has had a few chances now may find this her best opportunity to get off the mark yet with a top AW jockey booked. Colourful Career is another with claims on his return to maiden company, with Burrumbeet the most interesting of the newcomers.
