Left Olly Murphy after one try in bumpers but has shown little on the Flat so far in a couple of starts with the latest coming here over 7f. May do a little better at this trip but will be better off in low-grade handicaps.

Started his career with five straight starts here (52243) showing an aptitude for this surface but looked as though he was going backwards rather than forwards overall. Poor on both turf starts and now back from a break returning to Fibresand.

Showed some decent enough handicap form over the summer (runner-up three times). One of his better runs came over C&D in April (last AW start) and he looks as though he will appreciate a return this C&D.

Showed ability on his debut (only run for Michael Bell) over a mile before he was gelded and came to this yard. Again shaped nicely on his stable/AW debut (not knocked about) and remains open to progress particularly when going into handicaps.
Trainer has an outstanding record at the track (36% strike-rate) and has won with three of his last six runners here. Newcomer by a sire whose progeny run well here and very much respected on his debut.
Just the two runs to her name so far separated by a gap of nearly a year; both on the AW. Finished down the field on debut and never involved on her debut for this yard; improvement needed for her switch to Fibresand.

Has a pedigree that makes some appeal although her debut run over this trip on the AW didn't show much; slow away and raced freely. Should improve with some more experience but looks one more for the longer term.

Looks to have little to offer from the pedigree standpoint and even less on her form so far where she has run twice but has yet to beat a rival. Surprising is she can get involved here on her Fibresand debut.

Forecasts

Mametz Wood (11/8), Space Bandit (9/4), Vow Of Presence (3/1), Love Rat (9/1), Zahraani (14/1), Queen Tomyris (20/1), Marie Toulouse (33/1), Miaella (33/1), Invisible Shadow (40/1), Yuppy Love (100/1)

Verdict

Both Love Rat and Mametz Wood have shown that they act on this unique surface having been placed here before and should make their presence felt particularly the latter who has been a little unlucky not to shed his maiden tag. However, they may well have bumped into a useful prospect here in the shape of VOW OF PRESENCE from a stable who know the time of day with heir runners here and have been known to have winning newcomers on this surface. Space Bandit is another interesting runner although his future may well lie in handicaps.
