8/1
Finished seventh when making his debut over this trip at Windsor (good-to-firm) last month. Likely to have improved for the experience.

17/2
Unraced Bated Breath colt bought for £30,000 at the sales last August. Half-brother to a couple of winners and worth a check in the market on debut.

Made a winning debut over 5f at Ripon (soft) in April. Absent since and an interesting runner stepping up in trip on her AW debut.

Finished well beaten when making her debut at Thirsk (6f, good-to-firm) a month ago. More needed if he's to take this contest.

Unraced Society Rock colt cost connections €12,000 at the breeze-up sales in May. Dam placed on the Flat and an interesting runner on debut.

40/1
Unraced son of Tough As Nails and a half-brother to a number of winners including 11 time scorer Kingswinford. Market support would be interesting on debut.

5/2
Ran well to finish third over 6f at Newmarket (good-to-firm) when making his debut at the end of last month. Repeat of that effort should see him play a hand in the finish.

Forecasts

Light My Fire (5/2), Strawberry Jack (5/2), Muthhila (11/2), Fognini (13/2), Archdeacon (8/1), Jean Valjean (17/2), Magic Groove (22/1), County Peckham (33/1), Hammertime (40/1)

Verdict

STRAWBERRY JACK made a promising start to his career when third on debut and he can get off the mark at the second attempt in this novice event. The selection represents a yard with a 40% strike-rate (2/5) in recent weeks and he can see of Light My Fire, the only previous winner in the field. Fognini hails from a good yard and he can claim third on debut.
