Eight-race maiden with a string of second placed finishes on the CV; beaten favourite on each of his last three starts, including at Redcar (1m6f, good to firm) latest; enters the reckoning in first-time blinkers.

5/2
Well beaten in her last couple of starts in novice contests (1m2f), admittedly by the likes of Surfman (Newcastle) and Great Example (here); up in trip for handicap debut and that should suit as a half-sister to Lord Yeats; chance.

Five race maiden; is slowly get to grips with the racing game and ran his best race yet just three weeks ago at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) when beaten 2L by Champagne Teri; tackles a new trip.

13/2
Hasn't lived up to his yearling price tag (€100,000) yet; raced prominently until weakening from the furlong pole at Redcar (1m6f, good to firm) last month; 3lb lower, stable going well and dropped back in trip.

28/1
Five-race maiden with no worthwhile form; finished ninth of 13 at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) latest, and on that basis has a mountain to climb with Ritchie Star (second).

16/1
Hasn't beaten too many rivals home in four starts, although he was racing on the Fibresand at Southwell (1m3f) on handicap debut - feasibly didn't suit; 4lb lower; needs to show significant improvement.

12/1
Seven-race maiden; finished a respectable fifth (not far behind today's rival Rich Cummins) at Redcar latest; the initial signs were that the step up in trip was in his favour; clearly moderate, albeit not totally discounted.

Forecasts

Theatro (5/2), Play It By Ear (7/2), Rich Cummins (4/1), Ritchie Star (6/1), Langholm (13/2), Geyser (12/1), Golden Grenade (16/1), Magrevio (25/1), Amourie (28/1)

Verdict

A weak finale (essentially a maiden masquerading as a handicap), and that might just provide the consistent RICH CUMMINS with the required key to unlock the door to the winners enclosure. In finishing second again at Redcar (1m6f), he had a couple of these rivals in behind and he should confirm placings with Geyser and Play It By Ear. Of the others, the filly Theatro is less exposed than the majority, and as a half-sister to the winning 2m hurdler Lord Yeats could well appreciate this extra yardage on handicap debut.
