In the frame in his last six races on the AW though yet to win on this surface. Should again run his race though vulnerable to one of the improvers in the field.

Did win over 1m at Kempton last December but has lost all chance with very slow starts since and was particularly tardy last time so clearly comes with risks.

Has only raced once at this trip and that was arguably his best run. Too keen over 1m2f last time so drop down in trip not a concern but something to prove form wise at present.

Similar level of form in three runs including handicap debut at Kempton recently. The cheekpieces worn then remain but has to take a step forward though it is early days.

Showed a return to form when third at Bath last autumn but comeback run offered little. Dropping down a furlong and bit to prove after that Kempton run.

Showed a big step up when fourth in a maiden here on penultimate start and better was expected when only fifth on handicap debut last week. Interesting that she is out again so quick and may have more to offer.

First run since been bought for €15,000 from Ireland. All five runs have been at Dundalk and the best was at this trip. Market should give guide on first run for this yard.

9/4
No form in three maidens (first two with Dermot Weld) but vastly improved on handicap debut when beaten just over 1L at Chelmsford. Any further improvement has to put him up on the short list.

Debut win at Goodwood but hasn't gone on since then and two runs this term have offered very little hope so not hard to look elsewhere.

Placed at this trip last season but does her racing these days over further. May have needed run last time but others make more appeal.

Well backed at Wolverhampton last time and much improved when second, 8L clear of the third home. 4lb rise is quite fair and though this is tougher, she is capable of a bold show.

Got off the mark in the first-time hood on penultimate start and couldn't get into the race from poor draw when last seen. Hold up performer who will need a strong pace to be seen to best effect.

Forecasts

Radetsky (9/4), Late Arrival (9/2), City Escape (13/2), Cliff Wind (8/1), Don'tyouwantmebaby (8/1), Siberian Night (10/1), Storm Melody (12/1), True Belief (14/1), Itsallaboutluck (18/1), Sovereign Beauty (22/1), Our Shakila (28/1), Vixen (33/1), Never Said Nothing (50/1), Hit The Beat (50/1)

Verdict

DON'TYOUWANTMEBABY showed much improved form when runner-up, along way clear of the remainder last time out and normal improvement should see her go very close to losing the maiden the tag. Radetsky also showed his best form last time and appeals as the chief danger with the short list completed by City Escape.
  1. Don'tyouwantmebaby
  2. Radetsky
  3. City Escape
