85/40
Twice-raced winner. 3/1, won 8-runner maiden at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Had a bit in hand but will need improvement to defy a penalty.

50/1
Acclamation gelding. Dam unraced sister to smart winner up to 6f Move In Time. The betting should help guide to expectations on this rather belated debut.

40/1
Promising third on 7f Kempton debut in April but only eighth of 12 in novice at Doncaster (7f, good) later that month. First run for yard after being sold out of the Simon & Ed Crisford for only 2,000 gns in July. Has had wind surgery.

Fairly useful form. Hooded and tongue tied first time (retained), second of 11 in novice at Kempton (7f) 15 days ago, clear of rest. The one to beat.

Twice-raced maiden. 80/1, modest form when 6 lengths fourth of 9 in novice at this course (6f) 13 days ago. Plenty more needed here.

Forecasts

Spitzbergen (8/11), Monsieur Bondy (85/40), Correspondence (9/2), Roaring Twenties (40/1), Bloodsweatandtyres (50/1), Wee Nan (150/1)

Verdict

SPITZBERGEN looks more than good enough to win a race like this. Fellow Newmarket raider Correspondence should be suited by the step up to 7f and may provide a bigger threat than penalised Redcar scorer Monsieur Bondy.

  1. Spitzbergen8/11
  2. Correspondence9/2
