Well beaten over both 1m (AW) at Chelmsford and 1m2f (good to soft) at Ayr so far and very hard to make a case for him.

11/1
Won 2-2 in soft ground bumpers last winter, one of them over 1m6f. Conditions will suit him and his pedigree suggests that he might have the pace to have a big say in the outcome on his Flat debut.

Well beaten in a bumper, a hurdle and most recently when making her debut in this code at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft). Can only take a watching brief on that evidence.

Second foal; dam unplaced 7½f-1m4½f and half-sister to 5f-7½f winner Oor Jack. Trainer 11% with his 3yos over five seasons, so perhaps worth monitoring for any market confidence on debut.

Improved to go close on his third start, in a Newcastle novice event (1m, AW) in January. Well below that form in two turf runs this summer. Since gelded, and has the ability to get involved if he can now kick on.

22-1 on debut at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) last month, when he ran green but appeared to get the hang of things the further he went. Should be able to improve, but it will take a significant amount to win this time.
Timeform
Has gone off at big prices and been beaten 20L or more on both starts so far. Tries soft ground for the first time here, but needs a lot of improvement to figure.

290,000gns yearling; ninth foal; brother to three winners, the best being Irish 1,000 Guineas scorer Just The Judge. Dam tailed off in both starts. Trainer 16% with 3yos over five seasons and this looks a very interesting newcomer.

15/8
Son of Kingman out of a Galileo mare. 11-4 on debut at Haydock (7f, good to firm) recently, when he ran well to be a close third. With the potential to better that over this longer trip, he looks a big player and can probably handle slower ground.

5/2
Has improved with each of his five starts, despite being a maiden. Not far away from breaking his duck both at Newcastle (1m, AW) and Redcar (1m, good to firm) the last twice we've seen him and is a contender provided he handles soft going.

9/4
Improved significantly from her debut to her second start, the latter when upped to 1m (good to firm). Bit to prove on soft ground (sire won on good to soft, dam held on good to soft), but if improving for this extra furlong she should go close.

Forecasts

Throne Hall (15/8), Reemannie (9/4), War Defender (5/2), Let Me Be (11/1), Golden Sandbanks (16/1), Switchman (22/1), Clan Jock (40/1), Key Spirit (100/1), Taramanda (150/1), Sneak The Peek (150/1), Detective (200/1)

Verdict

The presence of dual bumper winner Let Me Be adds interest here and his pedigree suggests he could be very effective over this trip. War Defender and REEMANNIE both have to prove they handle soft ground, but the improvement the latter made last time suggests that she could outgun this field if she finds similar again. Switchman looks to be an interesting debutant who deserves a market check, while stablemate Throne Hall could be a big threat to the selection.
