50/1
Showed slightly more on his latest start at Market Rasen in January (2m2f+ soft), but on the whole his form doesn't exactly stack up, so shouldn't be good enough.

7/4
Runner up on each of his last two starts (beaten by odds on favourites), and evidently no world beater, but definite shortlist material over this longer trip in a weak race now fitted with cheekpieces.

12/1
Poor for Eugene Stanford, but better on his second start for this trainer at Worcester latest (2m7f soft) when admittedly a comfortably held third of seven to Orchard Thieves; more needed.

4/7
Shown ability in novice company (thrice placed; 2m5f to 3m) and has had wind surgery since his handicap debut at Ludlow in April. Quicker ground could be helpful in a very weak race.

Forecasts

The Devils Drop (4/7), Equus Flight (7/4), Third Estate (10/1), Little Vic (12/1), Brights Park (50/1)

Verdict

A gilt-edged opportunity for one of the five runners to break the maiden tag, and the likeliest candidate is surely the first time cheek-pieced EQUUS FLIGHT. He looks short on tactical speed, so the step up in trip should suit and don't be at all surprised if Sean Bowen seeks to make this a solid test from the front. The Devils Drop is the most obvious danger back from recent wind surgery.
