Has done little to recommend him so far and his sire's modest strike rate here makes his chances look even more remote.

6/4
Son of Fast Company who fetched £28,000 as a yearling and is a half-brother to four winners from 5f to 1m2f including fibresand winner Wolowitz. Took the eye on his debut when it took time for the penny to drop and has to be a big player here.

2/1
80,000 gns son of Mayson with plenty of speed on the dam's side of the pedigree. Related to some speedy types and yard are 3-9 here this year. One to note in pre-race trading.

Has shown little in both starts and needs to improve considerably in order to maintain the yard's current run of form.

Best effort came on debut although that form has not worked out well. Could be ready to go again following a break and trainer 3-7 around here.

100/1
Has hardly beaten a rival so far but valid excuses last time. Yard are going through a quiet spell and there is little to enthuse over.

11/2
Caught the eye when looking green and staying on when first seen. Possible her next race came too soon and she has been given a break. Up in distance but bred to go at least this far and stable 6-18 here.

Forecasts

Kripke (6/4), Lord Oberon (2/1), Blacklooks (4/1), Angel's Whisper (5/1), Wazin (11/2), Haverland (7/1), Night Spark (25/1), Astrofire (100/1), Keynote (125/1)

Verdict

Blacklooks has impressed in both victories and sets a good standard for this. However, a double penalty leaves him vulnerable to some likely types from the big yards. Lord Oberon has a good pedigree and represents a trainer with a 33% strike rate here this year, whilst Angel's Whisper and Wazin also come from stables that rarely leave here empty handed. KRIPKE created a highly favourable impression on his Doncaster debut when getting the grasp of things late and eventually finishing third. There is a fibresand winner in his pedigree and this looks a good opportunity to open his account.
