Maso Bastie^v1²⁶

5/1

Latest win at Nottingham in May. 7/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Goodwood (11.2f, soft) 26 days ago. Sports a first-time visor in a less-competitive event, and remains with potential.

Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable fifth of 9 in minor event at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 11/2) on return 60 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Hood on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Not discounted for all he has a bit to find.

Form: 443-5

13/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 8/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Previous best efforts have come on an artificial surface, so could get back on the up on polytrack debut.

Form: 2926

6/1

Left previous form well behind when easily winning 10-runner maiden at Lingfield (10f, AW, 6/1). Off 180 days. Open to further improvement on handicap debut, so should take the beating if he's tuned up.

Form: 451

(8)

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: S M Levey| T: S C Williams| OR: 77

Forecasts

Band Of Steel (4/1), Maso Bastie (5/1), Zodiac Star (11/2), Tenerife Sunshine (6/1), Urban Outlook (6/1), Carbis Bay (13/2), It's All About You (8/1), Entrancement (16/1), God Of Fire (25/1)

URBAN OUTLOOK was pretty impressive when opening his account at Lingfield 6 months ago so, for all that fitness has to be taken on trust, he's worth a chance to follow up on handicap debut. Maso Bastie is an obvious danger dropping back in grade and Band of Steel can't be ruled out.
