7/4
Lightly-raced maiden. Good second of 6 in handicap (5/2) at Nottingham (6.1f, heavy) 23 days ago, clear of rest. On the upgrade recently and makes plenty of appeal in a race of this nature.

9/2
9/1 and blinkered for 1st time, creditable fourth of 10 in maiden at Chelmsford City (6f) 28 days ago. Makes handicap debut. May do better still and merits respect in a weak affair.

4/1, below form fifth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 43 days ago. Had been in good form on AW prior to that and it's too soon to write him off.

16/1
12/1, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 14 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Should strip fitter for that and can't be completely dismissed.

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 10 in seller at Beverley (5f, good, 20/1) 9 days ago. Hard to make a solid case for.

22/1, good fifth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 14 days ago. Overall record is uninspiring and she's far from certain to be in the same form.

Third of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, soft, 9/1) 51 days ago. Not certain to back that up given her overall profile.

Forecasts

Ghost Lights (7/4), Tantalus (3/1), Chamber Choir (9/2), Little Red Dancer (15/2), Azaim (12/1), Kasino (16/1), Artemis Flyer (16/1), Pub Club (25/1), Amazing Arthur (33/1), Made Of Lir (33/1), Bedazzling (50/1)

Verdict

GHOST LIGHTS has a steadily progressive profile and was clear of the remainder when second at Nottingham last time, so there's every reason to think he can open his account in this lesser contest. Chamber Choir is the main danger on the back of a good effort in first-time blinkers at Chelmsford and it would be no surprise were Tantalus to bounce back from a rare poor effort.

  1. Ghost Lights7/4
  2. Chamber Choir9/2
  3. Tantalus3/1
