5/6

Looked good prospect for Marcus Tregoning with winning bow in 5f Bath novice in 2019 but too free in 6f Newmarket conditions event only run after. Gelded and very interesting for new yard on comeback.

9/2

Overcame greenness to make a winning start in 6f novice here 39 days ago. Hood goes on now and open to progress so she's sure to go well again.

11/1

Fair gelding but he arrives below par, only seventh of 9 in 7f claimer at Wolverhampton (18/1) 4 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Forecasts

Raasel (5/6), Show Me A Sunset (5/2), Strawbs (9/2), Kumasi (11/1), Hyba (16/1), Jazz Music (150/1)

RAASEL showed plenty of promise on his two runs as a juvenile for Marcus Tregoning and is just the sort to thrive for Mick Appleby so can make light of a long absence for new connections. Strawbs is sure to build on her recent debut success here so rates the obvious threat with Show Me A Sunset appealing as the pick of the remainder.
