Knew her job when justifying support at Doncaster in April and looked unlucky not to win the Lily Agnes here next time. Largely disappointing since, however.

Showed more than previously under a change of tactics when fourth of 5 in minor event here in August. However, failed to repeat that effort switched to a nursery at Sandown last time. Cheekpieces back on.

6/5
Kessaar gelding who knew his job and showed plenty of ability when third in a valuable maiden at York (7f) on debut 22 days ago. That performance is backed up by the timefigure and he's very much the one to beat with improvement on the cards.

Left debut form well behind when second in 11-runner maiden at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 31 days ago, staying on. Step up in trip sure to suit on that evidence and may do better still.

Forecasts

Thanks Forever (6/5), Winged Messenger (10/3), Ziggy's Dream (5/1), Ottoman Force (8/1), Takeover Target (11/1), Standring (14/1), Monkey Miss (20/1), Nominal Event (80/1)

Verdict

THANKS FOREVER emerged best of the newcomers when third in a valuable maiden at York last month and has to be considered the one to beat with improvement on the cards. Winged Messenger bumped into one that's gone in again since on his most recent outing at Beverley and ought to prove the main threat, especially with the step up to 6f likely to bring about further progress. Ottoman Force will be sharper for his debut and is taken to fill the places.
