14/1
Placed in a 7f maiden at Newmarket (good) on debut last August but has failed to replicate that form in two subsequent starts including when fifth over 7f at Haydock (soft) on seasonal debut earlier this month.
Unraced home-bred gelded son of Phoenix Reach. Dam won six times at up to 1m2f and he is likely to improve for his first racecourse appearance.

Unraced New Approach gelding fetched 120,000 gns when sold as a foal. Withdrawn from the sales three times subsequently and market support would be notable on debut.
Not beaten far when fifth of seven in a novice contest over this trip on debut at Lingfield in February. Likely more needed if he is to take this event on turf debut.

Ran well when beaten 2¾L into third in a C&D novice event on good-to-firm ground when making his debut last month. Repeat of that effort looks likely to see him play a hand in the finish.
Well held sixth of seven in a maiden over this distance at Chepstow (good) when debuting last month. Interesting to see how he fares in this event.

Struggled in two starts to date most recently when 21L tenth over 6f at Leicester (good-to-firm) last month. Stamina to prove on his first attempt at this distance.

Fair effort in finishing 8½L sixth in a similar race to this over C&D on good ground when making his debut at the start of this month. Interesting to see how he fares on this occasion.

Improved on debut effort when finishing 7½L second in a 7f novice race at Lingfield (good) when making his seasonal debut last month. Notable runner with this step up in trip looking likely to suit.

Unraced daughter of Muhaarar fetched €280,000 at the breeze-up sales in May last year. Half-sister to Group 1 winning sprinter Signs Of Blessing and she is an interesting runner on debut.

Slowly away and shaped as if in need of the experience when 47L last of nine in a C&D maiden on good ground earlier this month. Others hold more obvious claims.

Placed on all seven starts so far most recently when beaten ½L in a 1m maiden at Windsor (good-to-firm) at the end of last month. Leading contender with the trip and forecast going both in her favour.

Performed well when beaten 2L into second in a 1m maiden on the AW at Kempton when making her debut last month. Improvement likely and is one for the shortlist in this contest.

Forecasts

Rideson (5/4), Magical Dragon (3/1), Sun Tide (9/2), Ilalliqa (17/2), Tawtheef (11/1), Afro Blue (14/1), Tippler (28/1), Mahanakhon Power (40/1), Attracted (40/1), Captain Claret (80/1), Albatross Reach (100/1), Mr Zee (200/1), Num Num (200/1)

Verdict

SUN TIDE ran to a decent level of ability when runner-up on debut last month and she can go one better on her first appearance on turf by taking this 13 runner maiden race. Rideson has run well on all seven of her previous starts and she can finish in second spot ahead of Tippler who was placed on his most recent start and looks likely to appreciate this step up in distance.
  1. Sun Tide
  2. Rideson
  3. Tippler
