8/1
Beaten 8L (third) by the exciting Imperial Aura on debut at Ludlow (2m, soft) in April but never involved at any stage on his seasonal return at Chepstow (33/1); others compete with more scope.

Bought unraced for 7,000gns in October 2018; first foal from a moderate dam (placed over 7f-1m); interesting jockey booking; trainer 0-3 in NHF races this season (4-63; 6% overall).

€11,000 foal, €15,000 yearling; seventh foal; half-brother to a couple of winners - Croco Bay (2m-2m3f) and Thistle Do Nicely (bumper/2m hurdle); trainer 1-14 (7%) with his NHF runners this season.

8/1
$100,000 yearling who was knocked down unraced for £11,000 in August 2018; has an attractive Flat-based pedigree; interesting to see what the market makes of his chance in a very winnable contest.

Verdict

A race which fails to capture the imagination so the suggested approach is to take heed of the market moves on Saturday with all four of the newcomers having some recommendable features on paper. However, for those seeking a small-stakes play long before the scheduled off-time of 5.15pm, the James Ewart-trained FOSTERED PHIL was undoubtedly more amenable in newly-applied headgear at Kelso latest, and in all fairness his earlier form also rates as respectable with conqueror Mam Trasna having since been sold for a tidy sum.
