Niagara³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Hart| T: E J Alston

25/1

Related to a couple of useful sprinters in these colours but he's finished tailed-off last in both starts so far so hard to see him involved here.

Iffraaj colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart 5f winner Mabs Cross, useful winner up to 1½m Charlie Em and useful winner up to 6f Eccleston. Wears tongue strap.

10/3, respectable second of 7 in minor event at Thirsk (5f, good) 37 days ago, running on. Looks to have leading claims on paper but has had plenty of starts to open her account.

Forecasts

Desert Palms (11/8), Mecca's Hot Steps (5/2), Al Tarmaah (9/2), Wallgate (10/1), Supercali (20/1), Hail Sezer (22/1), Newgate Squal (22/1), Niagara (25/1), Taamer (150/1)

A novice that may develop into a match between DESERT PALMS and Mecca's Hot Steps, with slight preference for Paul Midgley's new recruit having shown fairly useful form when fourth on his handicap debut at Kempton back in June. Michael Dods's charge won't allow the selection to have it all his own way, while any market support for Wallgate should be noted.
