28/1
Some paper appeal, being a half-brother to smart 5.5f/6f winner Gold Vibe and useful 1m-1¼m winner Mooltazem but he cost only £7,500 at breeze-ups.

7/4
Promise when fourth on 5f Newcastle debut in June. Last of 5 at Doncaster 12 days later but that wasn't too bad a race and he's been given time since. Returns in a winnable contest.

Bated Breath colt. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner (stayed 6f), closely related to smart winner up to 7f Adaay. Would come into it if the betting speaks in his favour.

Forecasts

Strike Red (7/4), Dark Company (3/1), Incorrigible (3/1), Burscough (5/1), Arceus (5/1), My Name's Nipper (16/1), Tommytwohoots (16/1), So Dubai (28/1), Horace Greasley (28/1), Marve (40/1)

Verdict

Those with experience don't set the bar too high so a chance is taken on Mark Johnston newcomer DARK COMPANY. Strike Red showed a fair level of ability in a couple of runs in June and is respected on his return, while Burscough shaped with some promise on his Redcar debut and is open to progress.

  1. DARK COMPANY (IRE)
  2. STRIKE RED (IRE)
  3. BURSCOUGH
