Approaching Dawn
Age: 5|  Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie
33/1
Dawn Approach gelding. Half-brother to 7f winner Ahamoment. Dam placed in bumper, closely related to useful 2-y-o 5f-7f winner Azra out of useful 2¾m winner Easy To Please. Makes a very belated debut and best watched unless the betting suggests otherwise.

€26,000 foal, €58,000 yearling, 300,000 gns 2-y-o, Havana Grey filly. Half-sister to smart 7f winner Il Primo Sole. Dam maiden (stayed 1½m). Held back by inexperience when ninth of 12 in 6f novice at Kempton 15 months ago. Should do better.

2/1
Fair maiden who was too free when fifth of 6 in handicap (10/3) at Leicester (7f, good) 26 days ago. Leading claims on earlier form.

Forecasts

Secret Sonata (2/1), Proud To Be Fox (2/1), Pension Pot (3/1), Savannah Grey (11/2), He's Our Cracker (20/1), Approaching Dawn (33/1), Harry Mole (66/1), Nanyuki (150/1), Benjamin Brodie (500/1)

Verdict

SECRET SONATA proved too free on her handicap debut at Leicester last month, but just about sets the standard on her earlier form, so gets the nod back in novice company. Expensive breeze-up purchase Savannah Grey could prove a different proposition 15 months on from a low-key debut, while Proud To Be Fox is another with solid form claims.
