Only one win from 21 runs but caught eye when seventh of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f) 9 days ago, going on well at finish. Cheekpieces on now and well worth considering off handy mark.

Landed back-to-back 1m handicaps on return and good second of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (8f) last time when suffering poor run. Should prove effective over 10f so firmly in the frame.

Stepped up on debut fifth when tenderly-handled fourth of 11 in maiden (100/1) at Hamilton (9.2f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Goes handicapping now off decent mark so interesting contender.

Forecasts

Little Ted (4/1), Paddyplex (5/1), Motahassen (5/1), Firlinfeu (6/1), Greengage (15/2), Royal Shaheen (8/1), Bringitonboris (17/2), Four Kingdoms (12/1), Hooroo (12/1), Spantik (16/1), Key Spirit (16/1), Flames Of York (20/1), Ghayyar (33/1), Heavenly Tale (50/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for a few here but at the likely odds FIRLINFEU could be worth siding with as he has slipped to a very lenient mark and caught the eye at Doncaster last time when doing good late work. Key Spirit is much less exposed and seems sure to step forward now handicapping so rates the chief threat, although in-form Motahassen is well worth considering too.

  1. FIRLINFEU
