4/7
Promising type. Second of 4 in minor event at Salisbury (6f, soft, evens), needing stronger gallop. Sets a clear standard and should take all the beating after 7 months off.

Make Believe gelding. Dam Czech maiden half-sister to useful 1m-1½m winner Banish out of useful maiden Beyond Our Reach, third in Moyglare Stud Stakes. Difficult to recommend.

Promising sort. 6/1, fourth of 7 in minor event at Yarmouth (6f, heavy) on debut, very slowly away. Off 6 months. Gelded since last seen. Should progress and he makes more appeal than some here.

Forecasts

Dark Shift (4/7), Motorious (5/1), International Girl (13/2), Mellencamp (7/1), Cape Columbus (14/1), Dragon's Fire (20/1), Solomons Judgement (40/1), Adaay To Remember (50/1), Ireland's Eye (50/1), Raffles Rebel (50/1), Niagara (50/1), Cable Guy (66/1), Heer's Sadie (200/1), Monsieur Fantaisie (200/1), Jessie Pye (250/1)

Verdict

A fairly one-sided looking affair to open the card with DARK SHIFT setting a clear standard far above that of his rivals in form shown to date. He should be able to return from his winter break to gain a second career victory here. Motorious looks the most likely to trouble him after a gelding operation. International Girl makes most appeal of the remainder.

  2. MOTORIOUS
  3. INTERNATIONAL GIRL (IRE)
