11/10
Placed in 4-6 starts so far but has looked a touch one paced over both 6f and 7f. Tends to race prominently and could get into a battle early on. May well be placed again.

50/1
Appears stable second-string on bookings. Requinto colt who hasn't been disgraced in two starts on easy ground so far and tackles 7f for the first time. May do better at this trip and is not without hope.

5/4
Zoffany colt out of useful sprint handicapper. Green but showed ability when fourth over C&D on debut then failed narrowly to get off the mark at Thirsk last time. Going the right way and expected to be in the thick of the action.

33/1
Modest pedigree and didn't show a huge amount on debut when fifth over C&D a few weeks ago. Sure to have learned plenty but may do better once handicapped.

12/1
Harbour Watch filly, finished third, two places ahead of Grandads Best Girl here on debut last time and was getting the hang of things after a slow start. Can do better and is worth a market check.

80/1
Proclamation filly out of a winning juvenile. Looked backward and all at sea on debut over 6f at Newcastle last month. Will have learned plenty but needs to take a very big step forward to figure.

25/1
£38,000 Fast Company filly who was unfancied on recent debut at Southwell on Fibresand. Quite likley to do better on turf and represents top yard. Stable companion of Seasony and looks very much the second-string.

Forecasts

Alix James (11/10), Le Chiffre (5/4), Seasony (5/2), Hua Mulan (12/1), Warne's Army (25/1), Grandads Best Girl (33/1), Funky Dunky (50/1), Sea Ewe (80/1)

Verdict

In receipt of 7lb from the previous winner Seasony, LE CHIFFRE is fancied to get off the mark at the third time of asking. He showed improved form when just beaten at Thirsk last time and can do the business. Seasony will be a tough nut to crack and is very much respected after showing a good attitude to win on debut at Chelmsford. Hua Mulan hinted that she may be up to winning a race when a fair third on debut (Grandads Best Girl fifth), while Alix James is the other who could get involved and has plenty of experience to draw on.
