12/1
Fair 12L third of four on Flat debut in a 1m4f novice event at Catterick (good-to-firm) in August. Placed over hurdles since and interesting to see how he fares.

27 race maiden over jumps and well beaten over an extended 2m7f in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (good-to-soft) last month. Probably best watched on Flat debut.

Placed twice from 20 starts. Beaten 44L in a lowly handicap over 1m4f here last time out and likely to struggle once more.

Stepped up on debut effort when finishing third on soft ground over 1m4f at Hamilton last time out. Shapes as if this extra 2f will suit.

Placed off a mark of 84 in a 1m6f handicap at Yarmouth (good-to-firm) last time out. Represents a top yard and likely to prove hard to beat in this contest.

4/1
Beaten 8L when last of six on debut in a 1m2f novice event at Chelmsford last November. Worth a check in the market for a yard in great form (7/21) at present.

Forecasts

Sharja Silk (1/3), Smart Champion (4/1), Jj's Journey (17/2), Beeno (12/1), Rock N'stones (125/1), Ejabah (150/1)

Verdict

SHARJA SILK has been running in handicaps of late and he can get off the mark on his return to maiden company in this six runner contest. The selection looks capable of getting the better of JJ's Journey who is stepping up in trip while third place can go to Beeno who ran a fair race on debut in this sphere.
  1. Sharja Silk
  2. Jj's Journey
  3. Beeno
