Stepped up on debut effort when finishing fifth in a 1m2f maiden on the AW at Lingfield in March. Tongue tie worn for the first time that day is retained stepping up in trip on his return to turf.

Successful in a good ground bumper over an extended 2m at Taunton in February last year and has placed in that sphere and four times over hurdles since. One to note with cheekpieces tried for the first time on Flat debut.

First start since wind surgery came when beaten a head in a 1m4f maiden on the AW at Lingfield just under a month ago. Tongue tie worn for the first time that day is retained. and he holds strong claims of going one better.

Unraced Fountain Of Youth gelding and a half-brother to the useful Great Scot. Represents a useful stable and market support would be notable on racecourse debut.
Failed to make the track for Sir Michael Stoute and finished a well beaten 20L eighth in a 1m4f maiden on racecourse debut for this stable at Lingfield last month. Probably best watched at present.

Ran well when finishing 3¼L third of six in a 1m4f maiden at Beverley (good) on turf debut last time out. Likely more needed if he's to take this event however.

Unraced for Aidan O'Brien and failed to make an impact in two starts for this stable including when 21L seventh at Thirsk (1m4f, good) last time out. Likely to be of more interest once tackling handicaps.

Slowly away when finishing 11½L sixth in a ten runner 1m2f maiden at Sandown (good) on debut last month. Bred to appreciate this step up in trip and interesting to see how he performs.

Well beaten seventh in a 1m4f novice event on the AW at Kempton when making his debut a fortnight ago. Needs to step up markedly on that effort if he's to break his maiden in this contest.

Unraced Iffraaj colt purchased for 52,000 gns at the foal sales in December 2017. Half-brother to the useful Eirene and is worth a check in the market on debut.

Wore a tongue tie (retained) when losing all chance at the start and finishing 42L last of ten in a 1m2f maiden at Kempton when making his debut at the start of last month. Probably best watched on this occasion.

Well beaten fifth of six in a novice event over an extended 1m3f when debuting at Yarmouth (good) last month. Represents a top yard but others make more appeal in this event.

Sent off favourite when finishing 2L third of six in a 1m3f fillies' maiden at Kempton on debut just under three weeks ago. Interesting to see how she fares on turf debut.

Wore a hood (retained) when finishing 4¾L fourth in an eight runner 1m2f fillies' maiden at Newbury (good) when making her debut last month. Likely to have improved for the experience and this step up in trip looks likely to suit.

Forecasts

Duck And Vanish (11/8), Postileo (4/1), Inchicore (4/1), Without A Fight (5/1), Hawaajis (15/2), Zeeband (12/1), Perfect Predator (16/1), Tyson Fury (20/1), Thakwaan (22/1), Inky Blinder (33/1), Fonzie (40/1), Glittering Gift (40/1), Viza (150/1), Hart Fell (200/1), Kangaroo Point (300/1)

Verdict

DUCK AND VANISH looks capable of getting off the mark at the third time of asking by taking this competitive looking maiden. The selection was narrowly beaten on his most recent start and he can get the better of Without A Fight who finished third when making his debut last month. The Alan King pair Inchicore and bumper winner Perfect Predator are others to note with preference for the former who performed well when fourth on debut.
  1. Duck And Vanish
  2. Without A Fight
  3. Inchicore
