Placed in a 2m Stratford bumper in August, but thrashed on Flat/Aw bow at Lingfield, and makes scant appeal in this company.

5/4
Has improved by the run, and best effort when 1½L second of 5 to Glasses Up on handicap debut at Ayr (1m2f) last time. Winner scored again next time, and he looks to have every chance back in maiden company.

10/1
Kheleyf half-brother to two middle distance winners, out of a 1m2f winner who also scored over hurdles. Needed experience when soundly beaten on debut at Pontefract last month, and will probably do better at some point.

10/3
Strict form pick on basis of his third at Doncaster in the spring for Roger Varian, but he's not progressed, and well held on handicap debut for new yard at Ayr last time. Needs to bounce back.

Age: 3|  Weight: 9-5| J: Cam Hardie| T: M E Sowersby| OR:  57
20/1
Third at Musselburgh (7f) on handicap bow for Andy Crook, but well held either side of that effort, and easy enough to oppose for new yard returned to maidens.

Sociologist16
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-5| J: Theodore Ladd(5)| T: S Dixon| OR:  71
7/2
Handicap debut third at Wolverhampton (1m1½f) in March would give him a squeak, but he's not progressing, and below form in cheekpieces at Doncaster last time.

Horse silk
50/1
Half-brother to a couple of AW winners for connections, but failed to beat a rival on racecourse debut at Kempton in September, and easily swerved now.

Horse silk
20/1
Nearer last than first in two starts to date and makes little appeal this side of handicaps.

Horse silk
33/1
Cheap purchase who has beaten only one rival in two starts to date, and makes very little appeal at this level.

Forecasts

Home Before Dusk (5/4), Knightly Spirit (10/3), Sociologist (7/2), Khaan (10/1), Lovelysimplylovely (20/1), Red Seeker (20/1), Essgee Nics (25/1), Telekinetic (33/1), Tilsworth Sammy (50/1)

Verdict

HOME BEFORE DUSK is going the right way, and is a much more attractive option that strict form pick Knightly Spirit, who seems to be regressing. Sociologist is another with every chance on the pick of his form, but needs to bounce back from a poor run at Doncaster.
  1. Home Before Dusk
  2. Knightly Spirit
  3. Sociologist
