9/2
Off the mark as a juvenile on his AW debut in a minor event over 5f still not settling that well but responding well to pressure. Failed to follow-up that run on handicap debut under hold-up tactics; now gelded there could be more to come.

Very inexpensive purchase as a juvenile she finally makes her debut aged five. Given her pedigree/inexperience this could all be happening too quickly.

Showed a little on his debut last year over 5f (tongue-tie on) but went backwards on his second outing over 6f. May do better over the minimum trip.

Both runs have been modest with no real progress from debut to second run having been dropped in trip to 5f for that second run. Needs this run for a mark and will have more opportunities in handicaps.

Looked green on his debut having been backed at long odds on the AW over 6f but did show some ability without being unduly put under pressure. Looks the type to progress from here switching to turf/5f.

9/4
Tried in a handicap (debut) for her seasonal reappearance on the AW over 6f shaping with plenty of encouragement and likely to be sharper for that run. Her two turf runs as a juvenile had shown promise; just needs to cope with a first try over 5f.

Easy to back and lacked experience on her only run as a juvenile at Redcar (5f, soft) and never went that well but stayed on at the finish. May do better on her return and open to improvement on her second start.

10/1
Handled with care on her debut as a juvenile on the AW over 6f she looked a candidate to improve. That didn't really happen though and she ran below-par but did race wide and deserves another chance; drops back to 5f.

Forecasts

Haylah (9/4), Soumei (11/4), Global Passion (9/2), Hedonism (5/1), Midnight Guest (10/1), Bbob Alula (14/1), Q Twenty Boy (16/1), Maximum Power (20/1), Bidaaya (40/1)

Verdict

A return to turf and the novice sphere may see HAYLAH in a better light after she ran very well on her handicap debut last time out although she does need to cope with a drop to 5f. Global Passion carries a penalty for his Chelmsford win and will probably be more suited to reverting to forcing tactics. Both Soumei and Hedonism have the scope to improve this year while Midnight Guest also deserves another chance to prove that her debut run held potential.
