8/1

Seventh of 10 in handicap (25/1) at Goodwood (8f, soft) 32 days ago, doing too much too soon. Booking of Dettori an obvious plus, but yet to show that he has trained on.

Form: 21200

No Day Never^b1²²

12/1

8/1, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good) 22 days ago, better placed than most. First-time blinkers need to help eke out a bit more if he's to emerge on top.

Form: 0263-46

Fast Moon²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 69

(9)

Deputy^h³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: James Doyle| T: C Fellowes| OR: 65

3/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 9/2 and hooded for 1st time, fourth of 7 in handicap at Haydock (8.2f, heavy) 32 days ago. Entitled to come on for that seasonal reappearance and drop back in trip should help.

Form: 266-4

(8)

Ask The Wind²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: A W Carroll| OR: 64

15/2

Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago, slowly away. Each-way claims based on 2-y-o form, but she needs to get back on track.

Forecasts

Typical Man (9/4), Deputy (3/1), Fast Moon (6/1), Ask The Wind (15/2), Sweet Bertie (8/1), Arsonist (8/1), Cirrus (10/1), Twilight Song (10/1), Rogue Force (12/1), No Day Never (12/1), Tell'em Nowt (16/1), Executive (150/1)

The vote goes to FAST MOON, who stepped up on what he showed for Mark Johnston as a 2-y-o when third to Shuv H'Penny King (winner again since) on return/handicap debut for new connections at Wolverhampton. Dropping back to 7f looks a good move and he gets the nod ahead of Typical Man, for whom there were excuses at Windsor, and Deputy, who is also likely to benefit from this drop back in trip.
