First start for new yard today (formerly with Keiran Burke), these conditions suit but long time since she won a race and having not raced since last October (hurdles) then the chances are she'll need the run as well.
Winner on first start for the yard when successful over 11f at Kempton back in February but couldn't follow that up a week later, the race possibly coming too soon. Is unexposed, clearly goes well fresh and is one for the shortlist here.
Maiden after 27 starts tells you plenty, he simply finds winning hard and although he comes here off the back of a decent effort at Lingifeld (10f), the fact he was favourite for that tells you it was not a strong event. Others preferred.
Beaten over 20l when tried over C&D on latest start and simply appears to have right off the boil. Yard gone very quiet as well, and not hard to look elsewhere for the winner.
Starting to run into a bit of form and given he's one of the more unexposed runners here, has to be of interest after his staying on second over 10f at Beverley last time. One to consider.
Came up against one or two good novices last year but there wasn't a lot to cheer about his reappearance run, too keen for his own good and finished tailed off at Windsor. May do better with that freshness out of him, but others preferred.
First start for new yard, having left Tim Easterby's, but she's shown little in four starts and it was very much a backwards step on her handicap debut at Redcar last month. Blinkers now tried, but they need to have a big effect.
Just one win in 30 starts and that came when 100-1, so it looks a bit of a one-off but on the plus side, it was over this C&D. However, in no great form at present and races from out of the handicap here, so plenty on her plate.
Basically regressive at the age of 11 and has been readily held in all starts this season. Positives are hard to find, and others are readily preferred.
Another taking a huge step up in trip after being readily held in 6f/7f handicaps last month, not beating a horse home in either race. Only positive is the good form of the yard but that aside, there's few positives.

Forecasts
Songo (6/4), Savanna Gold (7/4), Zayriyan (17/2), London (10/1), Buto (11/1), Red Gunner (12/1), Al Jawhra (14/1), Mr Nutherputt (16/1), Valentine Mist (50/1), Conker (50/1), Show Of Force (66/1), Gifted Dreamer (80/1), Outlaw Torn (100/1)
Probably only a handful to concentrate on. Songo is surely better than his last run would indicate and a better effort here would not surprise, but the unexposed pair of London and SAVANNA GOLD make plenty of appeal and with improvement to come from both, it is Hugo Palmer's 3yo that gets the vote, being proven at the trip. Buto may do better for a recent outing.
- Savanna Gold
- London
