Third on both starts to date, and not punished when he couldn't catch the winner at Windsor last time. Had Temple Bruer and Imperial Fora behind there, and is taken to confirm form on revised terms. Shortlisted.
Similar form when third on both starts to date, again looking to be learning behind Internationaldream in a maiden at Ayr last time. Will improve, but no chances taken with opening mark.
Made a winning debut over 6f at Redcar last month, and improved when 1¼L second of 5 to Broxi in a 7f novice at Musselburgh next time. Outpaced before rallying there, and this stiffer test will suit. Respected.
Similar form in two starts to date, coping with step up to 7f when 1¾L second of 5 to Spirit of Sisra at Newmarket last time. Needs to improve now handicapping, but still early days.
Runner-up in two of his four starts, but doesn't seem to be progressing, and only sixth of 10 to Supremacy in a novice at Windsor last time, where he was readily held by a pair who reoppose. Easy enough to swerve.
Well held on racecourse bow, but improved when 8½L fourth of 7 to William Bligh in a 7f novice at Haydock last time. More needed now handicapping, but may do better away from softish ground, so not ruled out.
No impact on first two starts, but improved when sixth of 14 to Cairn Gorm in a 6f novice at Newbury last time. Going on at the finish there, and likely to relish this step up to 7f, so shortlisted from a very fair opening mark.
Promise on debut at Newbury last month, although didn't really improve when fourth of 10 to Supremacy in a 6f maiden at Windsor last time. Behind Collins Bay there, but does have a 12lb pull at the weights.
Forecasts
Collinsbay (11/4), Meshakel (7/2), Temple Bruer (11/2), Star Cactus (6/1), Imperial Fora (8/1), Grantley (17/2), Marsabit (12/1), Lightning War (22/1)
COLLINSBAY has plenty of weight to carry, but he was again better than the distance beaten when ahead of two of these rivals at Windsor last time, and this stiffer track will suit. Marsabit could be a big threat after an improved run over an inadequate 6f at Newbury last time, and Grantley is another who will appreciate this stiff track having got outpaced before rallying at Musselburgh on his second start.
- Collinsbay
- Marsabit
- Grantley
