12/1
Off the mark when winning over 1m4f at Pontefract (soft) last October. Had placed on debut at Newcastle prior to that and looks a leading contender on stable and seasonal debut.

66/1
Bumper winner at Carlisle (1m6f, good-to-soft) in November 2015. Disappointed last year when returning from a break and probably best watched at present.

66/1
Placed in a couple of bumpers late last year and rated 102 over hurdles at present. Fair fourth on Flat debut at Carlisle (1m1f, good) last month and step up in trip should suit.

Age: 5|  Weight: 9-12| J: L Morris| T: R Brisland
80/1
Unraced home-bred gelded son of Intikhab out of a dual winning mare. Unraced for previous stable and probably best watched on debut.

14/1
Had wind surgery following debut and put in an improved effort when finishing sixth at Newbury (1m2f, good-to-firm) earlier this month. Interesting runner on this occasion.

4/9
Good effort in finishing runner-up over an extended 1m4f at Newcastle recently. Drop back slightly in trip shouldn't inconvenience and represents a stable with a 24% strike-rate (7/29) of late.

Capestra
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-1| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett
20/1
Unraced son of Black Sam Bellamy and a half-brother to the yards useful stayer She Is No Lady. Worth a check in the market.

33/1
Well held on debut at Kempton (1m3f) last month. Likely to have improved for the experience but others make more appeal.

Well beaten in two starts so far most recently over an extended 1m5f at Chelmsford earlier this month. Probably best watched at present.

Age: 3|  Weight: 9-1| J: M Harley| T: A King
28/1
Never involved when beaten 27L in a 1m4f Salisbury maiden on good-to-firm ground last month. Much more needed if he's to break his maiden in this event.

Faraway Fields276
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-1| J: G Mosse| T: C Hills
10/1
Promising sixth when making his debut in a 1m novice contest at Newbury (soft) last October. Absent since and market support would be interesting stepping up in trip on seasonal debut.

Saint Mac69
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-1| J: Charlie Bennett(3)| T: H Morrison
50/1
Held on both starts in the spring and probably best watched having been beaten 18½L over 1m4f at Chepstow (good-to-firm) last time out.

Sargento
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-1| J: Levi Williams(7)| T: S Dow
100/1
Unraced home-bred gelded son of Dick Turpin. Dam placed on the Flat and others hold stronger claims on racecourse debut.

The Pinto Kidt60
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-1| J: George Wood| T: J R Fanshawe
28/1
Improved on his debut effort when finishing fifth in a maiden over an extended 1m3f on good-to-soft ground here at the end of May. Absent since and the tongue tie worn for the first time that day is retained.

Placed twice in novice events this year including over 1m2f at Goodwood (good-to-firm) on her penultimate outing. Interesting runner stepping up in distance.

Forecasts

Ben Vrackie (4/9), Simple Thought (5/1), Faraway Fields (10/1), Darksideoftarnside (12/1), Astromachia (14/1), Capestra (20/1), The Pinto Kid (28/1), David (28/1), Carnwennan (33/1), Saint Mac (50/1), Country'n'western (66/1), Hattaab (66/1), Reedway (80/1), Cold Harbour (100/1), Sargento (100/1)

Verdict

BEN VRACKIE represents a top yard and having run well on his AW debut last time out he look capable of break his maiden in this novice contest. Simple Thought has placed twice over shorter and she can claim second on her first attempt at this distance while the penalised Darksideoftarnside ran to a good level when winning on turf last autumn and can finish third on his debut for a new trainer
