Big prices and no threat in four maidens here over this trip and a mile, cheekpieces added this evening but must improve dramatically.

C&D maiden winner in November 2016, didn't show a lot in three turf handicaps last summer and returns from a 234-day absence here. Market check needed.

Broke his maiden over C&D in penultimate run, though unable to back that up since when beaten favourite off this mark.

C&D winner in September 2016 off a 5lb higher mark. Regressing a little since but the gelding is capable of a say of his current mark. 4½L behind Nulife here last month.

Sole success came in a C&D maiden in January and placed three times since including in a claimer penultimate run. Drop in trip should suit and holds place claims once more.

Unraced four-year-old gelding by Frozen Power. Yard have had a winner recently so worth a market check here but others seem more likely.

Six win from 37 starst on the AW, lasted spotted winning C&D claimer in May last year, makes debut for new yard here and worth noting in the betting.

6/1
Prominent in betting for C&D claimer last month on first start for this trainer, didn't get the clearest of runs but well enough held in the end. Cannot be crossed off the list too hastily.

Forecasts

Zaofu (7/2), Nulife (7/2), Elusive In Paris (5/1), Archer's Up (6/1), New Story (6/1), Park Row (8/1), Important Message (8/1), De Danu's Bach (50/1), Somelife (50/1), Shabrasupmonaghan (100/1)

Verdict

Important Message was take some beating on best form but his ability to produce that here has got to be taken on trust. The market may reveal more in that regard. Elusive In Paris was C&D winner in this grade when last spotted and, likewise, needs to be monitored closely on first start for this new yard. Nulife has scored here recently and could go well along with Zaofu. NEW STORY was backed on first start here for this yard last month. He drops in trip this evening and might be worth another chance.
