2/13
Signed off his juvenile career with a creditable second before returning from an 11-month break at Salisbury (7f, good/soft). Below the level of form he showed as 2yo (beaten odds-on favourite) a lack of an outing may have told; better expected.

10/3
Fifth foal; £82,000 yearling, half-brother to 6f/7f winner Medicean Bliss, dam 7f winner who stayed 1m2f. Interesting newcomer from a yard that is having a decent season although they are 0-11 with similar newcomers this year; market will be useful.

20/1
Very little impact in three minor events this year (all over 7f); unseated today's rider at the start last time. Hard to recommend anything other than a watching brief on the evidence so far.

66/1
Well behind likely market leader Alrajaa when making her debut at Salisbury last month. Showed very little during that first effort (looked very green, always behind); faces another tough task.

Age: 3|  Weight: 9-0| J: Charles Bishop| T: M Blanshard
66/1
Returns from a fair absence having had just the one previous start on the AW at Kempton over today's trip. Looked badly in need of that experience under a hands-and-heels ride; now makes her stable debut (was with Rod Millman); little expected.

Forecasts

Alrajaa (2/13), Edraak (10/3), Four Feet (20/1), Plum Duff (66/1), Auntie June (66/1)

Verdict

A weak contest and unless the well-bred newcomer Edraak is on his game first-time out this presents an easy opportunity for ALRAJAA who was knocked over in what turned into a match race last time. He should have come on from that Salisbury seasonal debut though and it will be a considerable shock if he’s turned over again in a similar scenario. The remaining trio have little to recommend then outside of handicaps and Four Feet is given a nominal vote to take the minor berth.
  1. Alrajaa
  2. Edraak
  3. Four Feet
