Related to a number of winners and sent off 7/2 prior to an inauspicious debut at Market Rasen. Should have learned from that and he's seemingly thought capable of better.

Kayf Tara gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Smarty Wild. Wears tongue strap. Notable newcomer from Ireland, particularly with Brian Hughes booked.

Has an uninspiring pedigree and offered little in the way of promise at Southwell 120 days ago. Hard to make a case for.

9/2
Kayf Tara gelding out of a mare from a good family. Shaped well when close third of 8 on Sedgefield debut, then pulled too hard at Newcastle a couple of months ago. Remains with potential.

12/1
Well backed when fourth past the post (subsequently disqualified because rider took wrong course) at Kelso on debut. More to come, so not a forlorn hope.

Yeats gelding. Dam (h123), 2m hurdle winner, also 1½m-1¾m winner on Flat. Bred to have a bit of speed, so worth a market check on debut.

Well held in Musselburgh bumper on debut 68 days ago, shaping like a stayer. More likely to come good further down the line.

8/11
Winning pointer who found only one too good at Hereford on Rules debut, then acquitted herself well when fifth in listed race at Sandown. Well capable of opening her account back down in grade.

Big price and down the field at Carlisle on debut 108 days ago. Makes little appeal.

Forecasts

Dazzling Glory (8/11), Northern Falcon (9/2), Bearhill (9/2), Readysteadybeau (6/1), Release The Kraken (12/1), Scots Poet (12/1), Shoeshine Boy (28/1), Are Ya Welll (50/1), Harry Go (50/1), Songbird's Tale (150/1)

Verdict

DAZZLING GLORY already has plenty of experience (ex-pointer) and, having shaped well in a listed event at Sandown on only her second Rules outing, this appeals as a straightforward task back down in grade. Bearhill is a potentially above-average newcomer, so he's feared most ahead of Northern Falcon.
