50/1

11/1, seventh of 8 in novice at Salisbury (7f, good to soft) on debut 28 days ago, very slowly away/green. Blinkers may sharpen him up.

Strong Voice²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: James Horton

10/1

Well backed and displayed plenty of ability when third of 8 in novice (2/1) at this C&D on debut 27 days ago, travelling smoothly but caught out by inexperience under pressure. Should progress.

Heart Sign^h1⁶⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover

8/1

Prominent in the betting but too free when fifth of 10 in novice at Yarmouth (7f, good) on debut 67 days ago. Hood should help him in that regard.

8/1

Fared better than previously when fourth of 11 in novice at Chelmsford City (7f) 42 days ago. Open to progress given yard he represents.

Medyg²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Georgia Dobie| T: E Smyth-Osbourne

Pleasing start when second of 8 in novice at this C&D on debut 27 days ago, no match for winner but plugging on.

Form: 2

Shafi²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: J Tate

4/5

Promising sort. Third of 9 in novice at this C&D (5/2) on debut 27 days ago, left with lot to do amidst early greenness. Sure to step up on that so he's a major player.

Forecasts

Shafi (4/5), Big Shot Veto (10/3), Maskatto (8/1), Heart Sign (8/1), Strong Voice (10/1), Medyg (25/1), Any Which Way (40/1), Phantom Shadow (50/1), Sweet Mabel (66/1), Boy Star (66/1), Uncle Nader (66/1)

SHAFI was too green early in the race to justify support on debut over C&D 4 weeks ago but it was still a promising effort in third and representing an in-form yard, above-average improvement looks forthcoming. Big Shot Veto showed bright speed at Leicester and that performance sets the standard, with Strong Voice another potential improver.
