Hasn't set the world alight in three maidens so far, but worth paying some attention in the betting for handicap bow, could be more forthcoming now.

Didn't run badly in a 1m Thirsk nursery last time, unable to get home on soft going. Down in trip and grade here for AW bow and that race has worked out quite well form-wise.

Runner-up in Leicester seller over this trip in September, the best of five runs so far. Sixth on nursery bow at Ayr since on debut for this trainer. More needed.

Son of Morpheus, improved over C&D (fourth) last time when dropped to this level. Entitled to go well from 2lb lower in the ratings with repeat effort.

Has not shown much in three starts so far, all over 6f, but goes up in distance for this handicap debut and worth a check in the betting.

War Command filly relished switch to AW when landing 14-runner C&D nursery 15 days ago, finishing strongly to get up on the line. 4lb higher but with potentially for more to come.

Three qualifying runs came over 5f/6f and weren't exactly laden with promise. Has had a short break and returns for handicap bow upped in journey. Market reveals more.

Better effort last time at Redcar in a nursery over 6f, staying on for fifth. Likely suited by this extended trip on that evidence and could have more to give.

Took third spot on nursery bow at Musselburgh last time over this trip. First start on the AW and feasibly on a decent mark if building on that late August effort.

Lightly-raced maiden, well fended off on nursery bow at Ayr (1m, heavy) last time, down in distance here with plenty improvement to find.

Forecasts

Jem Scuttle (10/3), Fighting Spirit (7/2), Melgate Majeure (4/1), Cawthorne Lad (11/2), Palazzo (6/1), Champyownez (12/1), Lincoln Red (14/1), Laoise (20/1), Lady Shanawell (40/1), Geyser (66/1)

Verdict

MELGATE MAJEURE took third on nursery bow at Musselburgh in August, coming home clear of the remainder in a race that looks decent in the context of this one, with the form likely to stand up. He can shed the maiden tag now after a short break. Cawthorne Lad also needs considering on the evidence of his last run at Thirsk while Palazzo is also considered having improved over this C&D on his last start. Lincoln Red and recent C&D scorer Fighting Spirit make up the shortlist.
  1. Melgate Majeure
  2. Cawthorne Lad
  3. Fighting Spirit
