Again finished well held when tenth of 11 in novice (125/1) at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Blinkered for first time but difficult to fancy.

Kameko gelding is bred to be an early type but was held back by inexperience when eighth of 12 in maiden (18/1) at this C&D on debut 11 days ago. Step forward required but is worth a market check with stable doubly represented.

Makes appeal on paper and hinted at ability when 11/2, fifth of 11 in novice at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) on debut 27 days ago. Could improve.

4/7
Left behind debut effort when runner-up at Southwell (5f). Forgiven Chester run when posted wide and showed improved form on first try at 6f when runner-up in a Newmarket novice 27 days ago, no match for winner but pulled clear of rest. Looks the one to beat.

Offered little when tenth of 13 in maiden (9/1) at Leicester (5f, firm) on debut 33 days ago. Significant improvement needed.

Improved from debut when second of 10 in maiden at this C&D (50/1) 7 days ago, no match for winner but deserving extra credit from widest draw. Claims if she can step forward again.

Speedily bred but offered little when last of 13 in maiden at Redcar (5f, good to firm, 25/1) on debut 17 days ago. Much more needed.

Foaled March 11. 15,000 gns yearling, Showcasing filly. Sister to useful 2-y-o 1m winner Show of Stars, half-sister to 1½m-1¾m winner Eagle One and closely related to winner up to 11.6f Enochdhu. Respected on debut for yard who scored with a newcomer at this venue earlier this month.

Forecasts

Somebody (4/7), Jane Of The Jungle (4/1), Timeforshowcasing (9/2), Royal Bodyguard (7/1), Rajak (16/1), Diamond Ali (66/1), Rai Rogers (125/1), Akabusi (150/1)

Verdict

SOMEBODY could prove hard to beat on the back of a very creditable second at Newmarket last month, when pulling clear of the remainder of the field. She can open her account at the expense of recent course runner-up Jane of the Jungle, with Timeforshowcasing an interesting newcomer for a trainer/jockey combination who scored with a debutante at this course earlier this month. Of the rest, Royal Bodyguard could be an improver having hinted at ability on debut.
