Blinkered for 1st time, eighth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth not ideally placed. Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Richard Spencer. Easy to look elsewhere unless strong in the betting.

Bit below form fifth of 14 in handicap (12/1) at Southwell (5f) 9 days ago. Back up in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Likely to bounce back quickly.

Elektronic^h¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Jason Watson| T: M Appleby| OR: 57

9/1

10/1, first run since leaving Richard Hughes when tenth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 15 days ago, inadequate test. On a fair mark and should benefit from the return to this trip.

Form: 576500

Forecasts

Kodi Gold (11/4), Thaki (10/3), Champagne Supanova (4/1), Alcazan (7/1), Elektronic (9/1), Amasova (11/1), Real Estate (16/1), Lynns Boy (22/1), Dutugamunu (33/1)

THAKI brought up the hat-trick in determined style at Kempton 87 days ago and, while it's slightly concerning that he's been off since, he's worth a chance to extend his terrific sequence having gone up only 3 lb. Champagne Supanova, who was better than ever when scoring at Chelmsford 18 days ago, ranks as the main danger, although Elektronic is an intriguing runner back up in trip.
