Promising 11L fourth in a 1m novice race at Goodwood (soft) on her penultimate start. Struggled next time out however and worth a check in the market upped in trip on handicap debut.

Finished fourth on both handicap starts to date including when beaten 3¼L over 1m on firm ground here last week. Shapes as if this step up in distance will suit.

Making her handicap debut when finishing fifth in a 1m2f handicap at Yarmouth (good-to-firm) earlier this month. Interesting racing off a mark 4lb lower than on that occasion.

Recorded his best effort since joining this yard when finishing third over this trip at Nottingham (good-to-firm). Held twice subsequently and cheekpieces worn at Nottingham return having been left off last time out.

Failed to figure when 12L seventh in a 1m2f handicap on good-to-firm ground at Brighton when making her handicap debut at the start of this month. Others make more appeal.

Good 1L third in a 1m2f handicap at Chepstow (good) on her penultimate start but refused to race at Lingfield (1m2f, good-to-firm) last week. Interesting to see how she fares.

Nine race maiden ran well to finish runner-up in a 7f handicap at Brighton (good-to-firm) last time out. Races off the same mark here but has to prove her stamina stepping up in distance.

Returning from a break when finishing 11½L sixth in a 1m2f handicap at Brighton (good-to-firm) last time out. Probably best watched racing from out of the handicap.

Forecasts

The Game Is On (1/1), Colonelle (11/2), Uncertain Smile (13/2), Heatherdown (7/1), Sari Mareis (10/1), Melo Pearl (12/1), Sibylline (12/1), Iris's Spirit (25/1)

Verdict

THE GAME IS ON ran well when fourth over shorter here recently and with the step up in trip likely to suit he can get off the mark with a victory in this opening three-year-old handicap. The selection can see off Sari Mareis who blotted her copybook when refusing last time out while third place can go to handicap debutant Uncertain Smile who is the least exposed runner in the field.
