11/2
Son of Ten Sovereigns who progressed with each outing as a 2-y-o for Charlie Fellowes, good third of 12 in novice at Yarmouth (7f) in October. Changed hands for 28,000 gns/gelded thereafter and very much the type to go om improving now handicapping.

5/1
Lightly-raced maiden who ran up to best having been gelded when fourth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) in October. Absent again since but this step up in trip could well play to his strengths with cheekpieces now enlisted.

Better with each outing in maiden/novice company, off the mark over 7f here in June. Didn't kick on in trio of handicap starts thereafter last summer and market may prove a useful guide as to expectations back from 6 months off.

Fair gelding. Winner at Leicester (7f) in August prior to a good second from 6 lb higher mark at Newcastle (7f) later that month. Not at same level in 2 starts thereafter though and has since left Tom Dascombe.

9/2
Thrice-raced maiden. 22/1, third of 12 in minor event at Windsor (6f, good). Off 8 months. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut and she could well have more to offer now stamina is tested further. Had wind op.

18/1
Thrice-raced maiden who readily surpassed previous efforts when second of 13 in maiden at Kempton (7f, 100/1) 34 days ago, ridden over 2f out and keeping on. Cheekpieces/tongue tie go on for handicap debut and return to further shouldn't hold any fears.

Forecasts

Master Franca (7/2), My Margie (9/2), Wait And Hope (9/2), Never Sell (5/1), Yaajooz (11/2), Persian Phoenix (15/2), Dan Dee Prince (11/1), Jolty Jem (18/1)

Verdict

Despite looking a work-in-progress, YAAJOOZ encouragingly showed race-by-race progress in a trio of novice events for Charle Fellowes as a juvenile and, gelded ahead of this yard/handicap debut, he's fancied to prove his opening mark a lenient one. Wait And Hope comes here in form and is feared, whilst Jolty Jem and My Margie are a couple of handicap debutantes to note in the betting.
