Majestic Man¹¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Lewis Edmunds⁽³⁾| T: Ronald Thompson

150/1

Not shown much so far having been well beaten in a bumper and fared little better on his Flat debut over a mile at Newcastle. Makes his Fibresand debut but on what he has shown so far makes very little appeal.

Form: 4-

(4)

Craving³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: R Havlin| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 78| BF

1/9

His consistency is very hard to argue with but he can't be said to be progressing and looks vulnerable to an improver. Moves back to a mile here making his Fibresand debut (yard do well here) but is by a sire with a poor record here.

Form: 4223-32

Involved²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: L Morris| T: D & C Kubler

7/1

Showed some ability on his debut over 7f at Wolverhampton (ran green) but looked as though he needed a greater test of stamina. Now tried on a new surface and should know more this time if he acts on Fibresand but one of the more interesting ones.

Form: 4

(5)

Sir Fred⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Shelley Birkett⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Feilden

66/1

Offered very little on his only outing so far over a mile at Kempton having started at 66/1. Now switched to the Fibresand with the sire yet to have a winner here (0/8) and not hard to give others more chance.

Form: 8

Forecasts

Craving (1/9), Dixieland Diva (1/2), Bob Maxwell (6/1), Involved (7/1), Love Rat (7/1), Sir Fred (66/1), Majestic Man (150/1)

Not the strongest maiden that you will ever see and it may pay to give a chance to DIXIELAND DIVA whose one run so far contained plenty of promise and her pedigree suggests she will be at home on the Fibresand. Love Rat has some form here and will have no problems with the surface although he may be better in handicaps. Involved is another who should be noted in the market along with Craving although the latter is by a sire who lacks a cutting edge on this surface. Bob Maxwell represents the older brigade and his sire gives hope that he will act here despite the fact he faces a stiff enough task giving away lumps of weight.
