Thrice-raced maiden. 25/1, ninth of 10 in minor event at Newmarket (8f, good) 14 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Back up in trip for his handicap debut and no forlorn hope.

Looks to have been brought along with handicaps in mind and off 6 months before fifth of 6 in minor event (66/1) at Sandown (10f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Should progress.

Fair maiden. Creditable fourth of 13 in minor event (40/1) at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) 7 months ago. Significantly up in trip now handicapping. Can't be ruled out on his seasonal return.

Bagged 2 AW wins in March. 20/1, only sixth of 8 back on turf in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort.

Much improved this spirng since handicapping over a longer trip, easily landing 10f events at Yarmouth and Haydock. Very much the one to beat under a 6 lb penalty.

Forecasts

Dog Fox (5/6), In The Trenches (5/2), Divina Grace (15/2), Yellow Star (17/2), Star Of Sussex (18/1), Mirabello Bay (28/1)

Verdict

DOG FOX has returned a much improved model and is impossible to side against turned out under a 6 lb penalty for his easy Haydock success. Star of Sussex appeals as a likely improver now going into handicaps so could emerge as the chief threat to Ed Dunlop's hat-trick seeker. Yellow Star and In The Trenches can fight it out for minor honours.
