Best effort to date when fourth of 5 on handicap debut at Haydock (11.6f, soft) 41 days ago, merely closing up late. Engaged 3.05 Yarmouth Wednesday.

Biggest impact when second on handicap bow at Wolverhampton but disappointed after 8 weeks off at Yarmouth. Too soon to write off.

Modest form at 2 yrs and has failed to improve for the switch to handicaps this season, albeit 6 months apart. Up in trip and headgear now applied.

9/2
Gelded following a trio of low-key efforts at 2 yrs and immediate improvement when second in 4-runner Bath handicap on return. Might have found next run coming too soon and worth another chance.

Built on a good reappearance run when scoring at Bath (good to soft). Only sixth there next time but wasn't disgraced, and may have more to offer still.

Forecasts

Amalfi Bay (9/4), Night Eagle (4/1), Gyenyame (9/2), Saulire Star (5/1), Sisu (7/1), Blue Beret (15/2), Mirrie Dancers (10/1)

Verdict

It could be worth chancing MIRRIE DANCERS, who has shown steady progress in 3 qualifying runs and is bred to be much better than an opening mark of 65. Night Eagle is another who may have more to offer, while Gyenyame is worth another chance.

  1. MIRRIE DANCERS (IRE)
  2. NIGHT EAGLE (IRE)
  3. GYENYAME
