Tongue strap on for 1st time, tenth of 14 in claimer (18/1) at Chantilly (10.4f) 73 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Alicja Karkosa. Market should prove best guide to claims on stable/handicap debut.

Forecasts

Paradoxical (9/4), Moon Over The Sea (5/2), Forge Valley Lad (4/1), Khangai (4/1), Seraphic (6/1), Lost In Time (11/1), Kojin (18/1), Cosmic View (20/1), Douglas Dc (22/1), Another Beautiful (33/1), Hello Sweety (40/1)

Preference is for LOST IN TIME, who figures off a handy mark and has shaped well here the last twice. Khangai and Moon Over The Sea head the list of dangers in an open-looking contest.
