Signs of ability on first three starts then but well beaten on Epsom handicap bow over 1m2f. Back in trip but bit out of it if able to go the pace.

Zebedee gelding out of unraced dam. Makes his racecourse debut here for trainer enjoying a good spell at present. Expected to improve for this first outing.

Ran twice for Saeed Bin Suroor, showng some ability when fourth on second start in Thirsk mile novice stakes. Reappears after 165 days and making debut for shrewd yard. Well worth a market check for any sign of optimism.

50/1
15-race maiden who went close a few times when trained by David Evans but ran poorly on first start for current handler over C&D in spring. Absent six months and cheekpieces now applied so others make more appeal.

5/6
20,000 guineas Gregorian colt who made a fair debut when keeping on to finish fourth at Redcar in September 2018. Not seen since so has questions to answer. Could be too good for these if market offers the right signals.

Very modest filly who has reached a place only once from 15 racecourse appearance. Has a mountain to climb on official figures and cannot be fancied.

5/1
Fair third over 6f on debut at Yarmouth in August and again showed some talent when fifth over C&D last time, staying on after being slow to break. Could be more to come and is well worth considering.

Forecasts

The Met (5/6), Mohareb (4/1), Capla Berry (5/1), Gazton (15/2), A Place To Dream (8/1), Memory Hill (10/1), Nutopia (28/1), Loveatfirstlight (40/1), Peters Pudding (50/1)

Verdict

Not too many can be seriously considered here and CAPLA BERRY is taken to get off the mark at the third time of asking having run well on both starts so far. The Met returns from a long absence but showed ability on his only start in 2018 and would be a danger if fully wound up. The market should prove a decent guide. Mohareb is with a handler who has a knack of improving horses so is one to consider, while of the more exposed runners both A Place To Dream and Gazton can be given an each-way chance.
