Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Southwell in November. 7/4, bit below form fifth of 12 in nursery at Newcastle (5f) 40 days ago. Of more interest on fibresand.

Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, ninth of 12 in nursery at Newcastle (5f) 40 days ago, finding less than looked likely. May well come on for that and has a chance based on some earlier form.

11/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Blinkered for 1st time, first run since leaving K. R. Burke when very good third of 11 in nursery (33/1) at this C&D 12 days ago. Solid claims if headgear has similar effect.

Forecasts

Elland Road Boy (4/1), Onaledge (9/2), Obtuse (5/1), Amasova (11/2), You've Charmed Me (7/1), Silver Nemo (17/2), Emirati Dirham (14/1), Bungledupinblue (14/1), Red Walls (18/1), Arceus (40/1)

AMASOVA upped her game on debut for a new yard when third over C&D last time and, with that form backed up by the time, she's fancied to land this tightly-knit affair if the blinkers have a similarly positive effect. In-form pair Obtuse and Onaledge head the dangers.
