Yet to build on promise earlier in the year but this drop down to the minimum trip for the first time should suit as he races very keenly and this represents his easiest task to date.

£80,000 as a two-year-old. Didn't make the track until last month when too green on Chelmsford debut over 6f. That form has received a boost since and will know more this time. Looks sure to figure in a weak contest.

Has shown very little in three starts for Ollie Pears. Needs to show significant improvement on debut for new yard.

Yet to make the frame in 19 attempts and with an official rating of just 37 it's hard to see him been good enough even in a weak maiden such as this.

Best piece of form on offer was when third of 10 at 100/1 in a Redcar maiden three starts ago but hasn't built on that since and even that form as it stands would need improving upon.

Her second to Alsvinder at Catterick in July reads well in the context of this race and again ran with credit at the Yorkshire track earlier in the month. Wears cheek pieces for the first time and looks sure to play a part.

Forecasts

Tamerlane (5/4), Motajaasid (13/8), Paco Escostar (9/2), Bluella (25/1), Marcella (33/1), Dramatic Voice (125/1)

Verdict

MOTAJAASID wont find many easier opportunities to lose his maiden tag and the drop down to the minimum trip should help the keen goer. TAMERLANE looks sure to learn plenty from his debut and along with PACO ESCOSTAR seem the only serious rivals.
  1. Motajaasid
  2. Tamerlane
  3. Paco Escostar
