7/4

Thrice-raced maiden. 40/1, fourth of 5 in maiden at Pontefract (12f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Improvement needed, but that's entirely possible now upped in trip for this handicap debut.

Form: 564

Rwanda Mist³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Callum Shepherd| T: George Scott| OR: 61| BF

2/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 9/4, fourth of 7 in handicap at Salisbury (12f, good to firm) 3 days ago. Possibilities if this stiffer test helps spark a little improvement.

Form: 878-34

33/1

Last of 6 in handicap (3/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 68 days ago. Significantly up in trip on debut for new yard having left James Tate, and she looks vulnerable.

Form: 4503-46

Forecasts

Home And Dry (7/4), Fandabidozi (15/8), Rwanda Mist (2/1), Infinite Beauty (33/1)

The Mark Johnston-trained duo HOME AND DRY and Fandabidozi could be the pair to concentrate on, for all that Rwanda Mist merits respect. Fandabidozi signed off last season on a winning note at Newcastle and is not passed over lightly, but his stablemate has been handed a potentially very fair opening mark and may be about to leave his previous form well behind now faced with a stiffer test.
