Fairly useful maiden. Good third of 8 in novice at Kempton (6f) in April 2024. Not seen since but a top yard perseveres and he holds leading form claims.

Promise when third of 12 in maiden (14/1) at Newbury (6f, good to soft) on debut for Eve Johnson Houghton last September. Likely improver having switched to Ed Bethell in the off season.

Twice-raced filly. Sent off at 11/4 but ran to keen when fourth of 6 in novice at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Should have more to offer at some stage.

Forecasts

Farandaway (5/4), Wicket Keeper (9/4), Pianoforte (4/1), Reddeef (12/1), The Sweet Escape (20/1), Takteek (25/1), Sand Sea (40/1), Tanjen (40/1), Little Beck Annie (150/1), Kennedys Pass (200/1)

Verdict

The Andrew Balding stable is going great guns so PIANOFORTE gets the nod to make light of a long absence under P J McDonald. Farandaway will be a threat if in the same form as when second over 5f here last week, while Wicket Keeper appeals as a likely improver for new trainer Ed Bethell.
