2/1
Sioux Nation colt landed 8-runner maiden at Chester (5.1f, good to firm) on sole start at 2 yrs. 10-month absence is minor worry but he looked a useful prospect on debut and can improve.

Towards rear in pair of minor events. Since been gelded but still makes little appeal.

Placed 10 starts in a row prior to rare poor effort when only mid-field at Southwell last time. Type to bounce back quickly and he's respected with visor reapplied.

Muhaarar gelding. Seventh of 9 in maiden at Nottingham (5f, heavy, 22/1) on debut 21 days ago. More required.

15/8
Thrice-raced maiden. Good second at Kempton on second outing and perhaps found race coming too soon when fourth of 7 in minor event at Southwell (6.1f) 41 days ago, carrying head shade awkwardly. Has to be taken seriously.

Havana Grey gelding. Showed a bit when fifth of 9 in maiden at Thirsk (5f, soft, 22/1) on debut 22 days ago but others have stronger credentials.

Invincible Spirit colt. Green but hinted at ability when sixth of 9 in minor event at Chelmsford City (6f) on debut. Likely to improve.

Dandy Man gelding. 9/1, green but showed something to work on when sixth of 9 in minor event at Pontefract (6f, heavy) on debut 15 days ago. Should have more to offer.

Twice-raced maiden. 8/1, travelled well and caught eye when fourth of 10 in minor event at Thirsk (5f, good to firm). May do better, though has 12-month absence to overcome.

Forecasts

High Ovation (15/8), Changeofmind (2/1), Erosion Risk (5/1), Whalley Road (11/2), Tawalla (14/1), Whisky McGonagall (33/1), Rwenearlytheredad (40/1), Gimcrack Warrior (40/1), Amerrone (50/1)

Verdict

The percentage call is to side with HIGH OVATION, who was very well supported when second at Kempton on his second start and benefits from a longer break between outings this time. Changeofmind perhaps retains the most potential having won a Chester maiden cosily on his sole outing last summer and is feared, whilst Erosion Risk is a largely consistent sort and should be able to bounce back to form.

  1. High Ovation15/8
