375,000 gns yearling, Night of Thunder colt. Brother to winner up to 8.3f Hanaady and half-brother to 6f winner Pivotal Girl. Dam of little account, half-sister to smart winning sprinter Blaine. Appeals on paper so this newcomer enters calculations.

6/1, badly in need of experience when fourth of 10 in novice at Catterick (7f, heavy) on his debut 21 days ago, very slowly away. Open to a fair bit of progress. Not without interest.

Fair form shown when in the frame in novices at Thirsk (7f) and Ayr (1m) last autumn. Holds good form claims if fully tuned up for his seasonal return.

30,000 gns yearling, Kodi Bear gelding. Half-brother to useful 6f/7f winner Irish Acclaim. Yard is going well so this newcomer is worth a second look.

Forecasts

Reidh (11/8), Laoisman (3/1), Nine Six Five (11/2), Farhhfromforgotten (11/2), Songwriter (12/1), Queensland Boy (16/1), Blue Antares (28/1), Swing To The Stars (50/1), Robiola (150/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for a few of these so at the likely odds it is worth siding with George Boughey's Mehmas gelding NINE SIX FIVE, who looked badly in need of the experience when a recent debut Catterick fourth and could take a big step forward here for a yard among the winners. Reidh rates the pick on his juvenile form and can have a big say if fully tuned up for his return, while Carlisle-third Farhhfromforgotten and newcomer Songwriter are two more who need considering.

  1. Nine Six Five11/2
  2. Reidh11/8
  3. Farhhfromforgotten11/2
