10/11

Lightly-raced maiden. Good second of 5 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f, 7/4) 36 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and he's a big player.

Hajara⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Ray Dawson| T: R Varian

11/4

Promising sort. Third of 6 in maiden at Chepstow (10f, good, 15/8) 63 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Likely to benefit from this stiffer test and he's of strong interest.

Form: 23

8/1

Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 11 in novice (12/1) at this course (11.1f) 4 days ago, hampered. Not without each-way hope.

9/2

Useful gelding. Last of 6 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, good to soft, 7/2) 59 days ago. Gelded since and will be the one to beat if able to get back on track now switched to this surface.

Forecasts

Gulf Legend (10/11), Hajara (11/4), User Amistoso (9/2), Catch The Light (13/2), Northern Choice (8/1), Pagan Sun (16/1), Cloudside Rock (100/1), Sydney Seabreeze (125/1), Etoile Brillante (125/1), Samatian (200/1), Xander Nevett (200/1), Razzo Italiano (200/1), Cofficionado (200/1)

With improvement likely now that he moves up in trip, HAJARA could be the answer. User Amistoso ran no sort of a race on his latest start but he's been gelded since and will be a big threat if able to bounce back. Gulf Legend also has strong form claims and Catch The Light is worth considering, too.
