Generally performing well in recent weeks - was a Class 6 winner at Chepstow (1m4f, soft) three starts back; struggled to make his mark (held by Thai Power) in a Class 3 C&D handicap ten days ago; sits a further 2lb higher.

Finished very strongly when just failing to reel in the front-running Choral Work in a 1m4f fillies' novice at Haydock (good) on her second career start; is closely related to the 1m6f Listed winner Forever Now; a noteworthy handicap debutante.

Nathaniel filly; has shown a consistent level of form without necessarily progressing from race to race; was beaten a neck by the shock 22-1 winner Gentleman At Arms in a Lingfield median auction maiden (1m4f, AW) three weeks ago.

Seven-race maiden; has often been slowly away (possibly by design); finished a reasonably creditable third to the thriving King's Charisma at Haydock (1m2f, soft) on his penultimate start; others thought open to more improvement.

4/5
Commanding winner at Kempton (1m4f, Class 6) in June, and has seemingly taken the resultant rise in grade firmly in his stride; was no match (second) for an authoritative winner (Arthurian Fable) over C&D ten days ago; sets the benchmark.

8/1
New Approach colt; has fallen 6lb in the weights since introduced to handicapping (0-3); met trouble when finishing seventh of 12 to Boss Power at Yarmouth (1m3½f maiden h'cap) 11 days ago; cheekpieces are added seeking that extra edge.

Forecasts

Thai Power (4/5), Immortal Beloved (5/1), Raventree (15/2), Bealach (8/1), Gibraltar (17/2), Camouflaged (18/1)

Verdict

Both Immortal Beloved and Raventree ought to be winning races before too long, with the Charlie Fellowes-trained handicap debutante (closely related to the 1m6f Listed winner Forever Now) arguably the more interesting of that pair. However, the King Power Racing Co Ltd-owned THAI POWER has risen swiftly from humble origins into a proficient staying handicapper. His recent C&D second to Arthurian Fable (Camouflaged sixth) marks him down as having the strongest credentials in this small-field Sandown finale.
