Comfortably held on handicap debut here (1m1f, soft) in May; still early days, but wouldn't appear to be the most obvious of future winners either.

5/1
Half-sister to four winners, and hails from a Group 1 winning dam (Frizzante); is yet to really make her mark on the track; 3lb lower than when finishing 9¾L fifth of ten at Ripon (1m, good to soft) latest; blinkers on.

10/1
Continues to drop down the handicap; is yet to hit the frame in ten starts, although he was in there pitching until late over C&D (good) three weeks ago; would hold a stronger chance if electing to settle.

3/1
Is inching closer to breaking the maiden tag (0-7); was produced with a winning challenge at Carlisle (1m, good to soft) latest, only to be mowed down by the fast-finishing Three Castles; a subsequent 3lb rise is unhelpful.

12-race maiden; placed in a 7f Leicester seller (good to firm) for Richard Hannon in September 2018; below that form in three starts for R Mike Smith and now switches to Jim Goldie seeking an upturn in fortunes.

Age: 3|  Weight: 8-12| J: A Mullen| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR:  51

Has finished runner up on two of his last three starts, including when beaten 1¾L by Thursday's Newcastle winner Defence Treaty at Leicester (7f, soft); stamina reservations.

18/1
Modest maiden (0-6) who appears to have gone the wrong way this year. Well beaten at Southwell last time (soon off the bridle and behind); it's difficult to envisage that she'll be anywhere near good enough (even in a race this weak).

Has been sent off at big prices on all four starts, including when finishing seventh of ten on handicap debut at Newcastle (7f) last October.

25,000gns yearling; has made little impact in 1m1f novice contests at Carlisle and Ayr in recent weeks; handicapping should suit him better; an unlikely winner nevertheless.

8/1
Couldn't ever get on terms with the leaders when finishing third to Smeaton (beaten 3L) over 1m1f (soft) here in May; started 4/1 co.fav when finishing three places behind today's rival Juniors Fantasy at Carlisle three weeks ago.

25/1
Iffraaj filly (67,000gns yearling); low-key to date but possibly hasn't appreciated the soft ground on her last couple of starts; is lowly-weighted and could be the type to do better with headgear now fitted; a drop back in trip looks favourable.

Hasn't managed to finish in front of too many rivals in his four career starts (6f-7f); tackles a new trip; evidently won't be the solution.

Forecasts

Juniors Fantasy (3/1), The Big House (7/2), Mecca's Gift (5/1), Royal Countess (8/1), Spiritual Boy (8/1), Monsieur Piquer (10/1), Lady Mayhem (12/1), God Of Dreams (14/1), Be Proud (14/1), Philyaboots (16/1), Kimberley Girl (18/1), Keska (25/1), Wearraah (66/1)

Verdict

A race which appears to be slightly weaker than it's counterpart thirty minutes earlier on the card. Keska could be the type to take a marked step forward for the introduction of a visor, and she can be expected to out-perform her market odds on a sounder racing surface. However, JUNIORS FANTASY has the strongest recent form in the book and although unaided by a 3lb rise in the weights he won't ever have a better chance to break the maiden tag than in this weak contest. Both Royal Countess and Monsieur Piquer are place possibles.
  1. Juniors Fantasy
  2. Keska
  3. Monsieur Piquer
