9/2
Made all (given a breather before finding extra) when winning over C&D last June; weak at the finish under this 7lb claimer when fourth on the AW at Lingfield (1m2f) ten days ago; needs to get the fractions 100% in order to win.

Still seeking his first win on turf (0-8), but is undoubtedly fairly handicapped (rated 10lb lower than on the AW); was beaten 4L (second) by the pace-setting Seven For A Pound in a 1m2f classified stakes at Ripon last week.

No win since June 2016 (a 1m2f Fairyhouse claimer); finished fourth (80-1) to the handicap blot Songkran on her return from a four-month absence over C&D (good to firm) 18 days ago.

12-race maiden; raced keenly and soon weakened (11th of 12) in a Class 6 handicap at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago; was at least placed (beaten 4L) over C&D last August.

Has managed to beat just a single rival in three starts to date (6f-7f novice contests); the handicapper takes a 'guess' with an opening mark of 52; type to fare better over a new trip at this more realistic level?

4/5
Australia gelding (cost 65,000gns as a juvenile); kept on strongly to finish a closing second best to the well-backed By Jove on handicap debut at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) 11 days ago; makes major appeal despite the token 2lb weights rise.

20/1
Siyouni filly (cost 60,000gns as a juvenile); offered precious little in her three two-year-old appearances; steps up in trip for handicap debut off a 240-day absence; really needs to start making up quickly for lost time.

25/1
Lively outsider (10-1) on handicap debut at Kempton (1m) last week, but could only add a fourth duck-egg to his CV; tackles a different trip in a newly-fitted tongue-tie seeking some signs of life.

Poor form to date (0-4), including at odds of 80-1 on recent Chelmsford handicap debut (1m); needs snookers, and lots of them to boot.

Sir Percy filly; well beaten on all three starts, including at odds of 125-1 in a 7f maiden here six weeks ago; this longer trip (handicap debut) should theoretically show her in a more positive light.

Forecasts

Grand Canal (4/5), Elsie Violet (9/2), My Brother Mike (13/2), Break Cover (12/1), Winter Snowdrop (16/1), Saga Sprint (18/1), Princess Siyouni (20/1), Madame Winner (22/1), Johnny Utah (25/1), Casablanca Kid (66/1), Am I Dreaming (100/1)

Verdict

The Australia gelding GRAND CANAL shaped like a certain future winner when chasing home the improving By Jove on handicap debut at Salisbury (1m2f) recently, and his trainer Tom Clover has identified a golden opportunity for him to get off the mark. For anyone seeking a more speculative each-way alternative, the lightly-raced and lowly-weighted handicap debutante Madame Winner appeals as the type do better for the switch to middle distances.
