Yorkshire Grey^p³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: T Eaves| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 55

33/1

Offered some promise in decent quality maidens earlier in the season. Has subsequently proved to be quite underwhelming since switched to handicaps. Steps back up in trip to 7f on return to AW. Major revival required.

Rominintheglomin²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: Andrew Hughes| OR: 55

14/1

Only runner in this field to have actually won a race when successful at Ffos Las (6f; good) two starts ago. Possible excuses when last of six in atrocious conditions in what was a quality contest at Hamilton (6f; heavy). On the shortlist.

William Thomas^p1⁵⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Darragh Keenan⁽³⁾| T: R Eddery| OR: 55

12/1

Handicap newcomer who was never involved in any of his three starts in maidens. He should appreciate the drop into these much more calmer waters, but needs to show significant improvement to play a part. Check market vibes.

Form: 596

Inductive^p¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: C Lee| T: M Dods| OR: 54

7/2

Last three starts have all been in this grade over C&D, where he has failed to land a significant blow in any of those runs. No reason why there should be any sudden improvement shown by him, so he can only be watched.

Form: 070959

Sheung Wan¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Sean Davis⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 53

22/1

Only low-key in maidens, but the switch to handicaps offers room for improvement for all that he does have something to prove. Respected for this trainer/jockey combo and it will be interesting to see if there is any market support for him.

Form: 608

Camacho Man¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: J Fanning| T: J Candlish| OR: 52

11/4

Unable to reproduce the form of her fourth at Wolverhampton (7f; standard) when a slightly underwhelming ninth of 13 at Kempton (1m; standard to slow) most recently. Drops back to 7f and is worth another chance. Place claims.

Form: 878949

(6)

Schumli²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 52

20/1

0-7 and despite not being beaten far into fourth at Wolverhampton (7f; standard) recently, that was in a seller. Needs to step up if she is to be competitive back in this grade. Unlikely that will happen. Can be easily opposed.

Form: 630584

Imperial Eagle²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Phil Dennis| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 51

33/1

Efforts in turf maidens offered hope that she could be competitive in handicaps. Hard to make a case for given the manner of her two defeats since switching to this sphere though. Watching brief advised until she begins to offer more encouragement.

Form: 57908

Indra Dawn^b²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: A Mullen| T: A Watson| OR: 49

8/1

Handicap debut when runner-up at Lingfield (7f; good to firm) was hugely promising. He would have a chance in this contest if in similar form. However, two subsequent efforts have not been as good. Yard/jockey combo among the winners at present.

Form: 007256

(2)

Star Of St Louis^p1²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R Havlin| T: D P Quinn| OR: 48

8/1

Signs of encouragement when dropped down to 6f at Chelmsford (6f; standard) when just missing out on making the frame. Steps back up to 7f now and has place claims if building on most recent run.

Form: 08664

Halfacrown⁵⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Nicola Currie| T: J A Osborne| OR: 47WS

18/1

Made little impact the last twice since switched to nurseries, including when last of seven at Lingfield (7f; good to firm) most recently. Form of the yard is also of concern (three weeks since last winner on the flat).

Form: 95657

(5)

Ventura Destiny¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Ben Sanderson⁽⁵⁾| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 46

16/1

Drops back a furlong in trip after finishing down the field in a warm fillies' novice stakes race last time out. This is a much more realistic assignment on her handicap debut. Does need to improve, but a major player if doing so.

Form: 768

(7)

Sassy Lassy^p²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: David Egan| T: D Loughnane| OR: 45

80/1

Showed very little promise in maidens, and she failed to beat a single rival on handicap debut at Chelmsford (6f; standard) in this grade at the start of the month. Cannot be fancied with major improvement required on this fifth career start.

Forecasts

Camacho Man (11/4), Inductive (7/2), Star Of St Louis (8/1), Indra Dawn (8/1), William Thomas (12/1), Rominintheglomin (14/1), Ventura Destiny (16/1), Speed Dating (16/1), Halfacrown (18/1), Schumli (20/1), Sheung Wan (22/1), Imperial Eagle (33/1), Yorkshire Grey (33/1), Sassy Lassy (80/1)

This race has the appearance of an extremely trappy affair. After running a career-best when narrowly failing to finish third at Chelmsford recently, Star Of St Louis has major place claims if able to build upon that effort. Despite finishing sixth at Southwell last time, Indra Dawn appealed as one who would be winning in this grade in the very near future when a close-up fifth over C&D two starts back. However, the vote goes to ROMININTHEGLOMIN who holds major claims off the same mark he scored off when breaking his maiden duck at Ffos Las. He should be forgiven his latest run and can regain the winning thread on what is his AW debut.
