Improving son of Space Blues got off the mark at the third attempt when successful in 8-runner maiden at this C&D (AW, 6/4) 22 days ago, travelling fluently. Isn't the finished article and likely has more progression to come now handicapping.
|
6f winner at Pontefract in June and bounced back to form following a break/gelding operation, second of 4 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 15 days ago, no match for well-backed winner. This requires more but he could take a step forward with cheekpieces on first time.
|
Fairly useful sort was consistent in 7f handicaps and didn't need to improve to get off the mark in 7-runner novice at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 2/9) 23 days ago, routing some modest rivals. Should prove competitive back in handicap company.
|
Two wins from 5 runs last year, including improved effort in 4-runner nursery at Newcastle (7.1f). Not seen to best effect at Southwell on New Year's Day and step up in trip (half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Raqiya) could bring about further improvement.
|
Steadily progressive in novice/maiden company, posting a career best when winning 9-runner maiden (by head from Foothold) at Lingfield (1m, 4/5) 14 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Makes handicap debut and is likely capable of better again for top stable.
|
Improved form when narrowly beaten by Maskatto and backed that up (strong in betting) when second of 9 in novice (10/11) at this course (7f, AW) 8 days ago. Should give another good account handicap debut.

Forecasts
Sovereign Wealth (2/1), Maskatto (3/1), Space Invasion (4/1), Foothold (11/2), Try Storm Cat (8/1), Luminare (11/1)
A case can be made for each of the sextet, perhaps the strongest for MASKATTO, who's taken to improve again on handicap debut. Luminare wasn't seen to best effect last time and could take another step forward now stepped up to 1m, while Sovereign Wealth should be in the mix back in a handicap.
