First start for new yard after being with Robert Cowell previously. Cheekpieces retained but no guarantees this step up to a mile will suit. Best watched here.

Has looked slightly like hard work to date so no surprise to see the cheekpieces given a try, not beaten that far over C&D last time out and lightly enough raced to improve a it. One of the more interesting ones.

Very patchy overall profile when last seen, capable of a decent run but equally some very moderate efforts on her dancecard as well. Not seen since November anyway and likely to need the outing.

11/4
Very consistent performer at Dundalk, seems effective from 6f-1m and ran right to form when a close fifth over 6f last time out. No reason not to run his race again and place chances at worst.

Very inconsistent, just the one win in 16 starts and although this drop back to a mile may help, simply too many moderate efforts to go overboard about his chances.

Has refound his form since being dropped back to a mile, and proves too good for Mulzamm and company here last time out, winning a cosy ½l. Another 5lb to carry makes it harder but clearly in good heart.

Only her fifth start tonight, and may well have improvement to come based on her close enough midfield finish here last time out. However, didn't look to be crying out for a step up in trip there, and on that, others preferred.

9/2
Looks on a very useful mark if you want to go back far enough (when with Kevin Ryan), only second start for this yard and his run over a trip too short here in November looked a sighter. Surprise if this yard can't get a win out of him.

Going nowhere quickly and has beaten only a handful of horses home in her last six starts. No realistic chance here.

Not seen out on the Flat since 2017 and two hurdles starts this winter have seen him beaten out of sight. Can't be entertained as the likely winner.

Well beaten all three starts to date and needs massive improvement from somewhere after a break.

Rated just 37 and looks extremely moderate all all form shown so far. Difficult to see why today should see an upturn in fortunes.

Mulzamm (11/4), Crossingoz (7/2), Heir of Excitement (9/2), Dollar Value (6/1), All The Mollies (10/1), Pact Of Steel (12/1), Progressive Dawn (12/1), Ursus Belle (20/1), Our Anniversary (25/1), Lady Godiva (33/1), Elzaa (33/1), Raise The Tempo (50/1), Metamorphic Rock (66/1)

Verdict

The market is going to tell us what's expected from the very well handicapped Heir Of Excitement and nay market move for him needs taking seriously. PROGRESSIVE DAWN is ggiven the vote in the hope the headgear helps her travel through the race a bit easier. The ability looks to be there and maybe it will unlock it. Crossingoz and Mulzamm both hold place chances.
  1. Progressive Dawn
  2. Heir of Excitement
  3. Mulzamm
