Yet to win since her maiden success but a combination of first-time blinkers (retained), a lowest career mark and a switch to forceful tactics brought a revitalised run at this track and is suited by this extra furlong.
Visor retained after a good effort under an aggressive ride over this trip at Lingfield. Only one win in 18 starts but down in grade again with the rider good value for his claim.
Veteran who won a claimer in January and then held in three stronger races since. Down in grade and on a winnable mark but is arguably better at a mile.
Ex-Irish who hasn't won since 2016 but has been struggling off much higher marks. Stable going well and finally down to a competitive mark but more required on four starts in UK.
On a long losing run but on a good mark after a solid run on stable debut. Will appreciate switch away from fibresand and drop in trip (all three wins have been at 7f) and should be primed to go well.
Well beaten on only previous try here but is now 1lb below last winning mark. Better run back at this trip at Lingfield but remains inconsistent.
Maiden who disappointed on last two starts at Pontefract and Kempton when last seen in August. Absence to overcome and also hard to know what his best trip is as he lacks a change of gears.
Didn't take to the fibresand or the blinkers (left off now) at Southwell and will be better suited by this surface. Recent runs have come in sellers so may struggle again at this level.
Forecasts
Nibras Again (7/2), Fieldsman (7/2), Medici Banchiere (4/1), Cyrus Dallin (6/1), Loyalty (7/1), Clear Water (7/1), Time To Reason (14/1), Beauden Barrett (20/1)
A number of these are struggling to win but dropping in the weights including Clear Water and Medici Banchiere who should both rate as dangers off the back of solid recent runs. Loyalty would come into consideration if there is a strong pace while FIELDSMAN can finally gain an overdue success on just his second start since leaving David O'Meara and with an eye-catching jockey booking.
- Fieldsman
- Clear Water
- Medici Banchiere
