6/5

Made poor debut when 12th in the Wood Ditton at Newmarket but showed clear improvement when 4th of 9 in novice at Kempton (40/1) 13 days ago, one-paced late. May need more time.

9/4

Good 2nd at Southwell AW in June. Fourth of 9 in maiden at Haydock (7/1) 53 days ago, producing a tame finish. Gelded after. Back down in class and probably the way to go if he lines up. Engaged 4.34 Windsor Monday.

Forecasts

Cosmo Goodspeed (6/5), Tokyo Joe (9/4), Palio Di Siena (3/1), Melosa (12/1), Karismatique (150/1)

TOKYO JOE has shown more than enough to suggest he can land this maiden despite a disappointing effort at Haydock last time. He's been gelded since. Melosa may improve for the drop back in trip/first-time cheekpieces and could be the danger.
