Starspangledbanner gelding who ran to a modest level when finishing a well held third of 5 in novice at this C&D on debut 25 days ago. Likely type for handicaps further down the line on that evidence.

Lightning Spear filly who has offered little in pair of outings 13 months apart, latterly when last of 11 in maiden at this course (7.1f, 250/1) 22 days ago. Can only be watched.

Once-raced gelding. Eighth of 9 in maiden (33/1) at Southwell (7.1f) on debut 54 days ago, slowly into stride and making no impression. Passed over.

Too Darn Hot gelding. Half-brother to useful 1¼m-2m winner Circuit Breaker. Dam, 1m-14.5f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 10.4f Arabian Queen out of smart 1m-1½m winner Barshiba. Bred more for longer trips but worth a market check nevertheless for clues on debut.

Kingman colt. Brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Cavalletti and half-brother to smart winner up to 1¼m Windlord. Dam, French 1m winner, half-sister to smart 7f/1m winner Goldistyle out of top-class winner up to 9.2f (2-y-o 1m winner) Goldikova. Very noteworthy newcomer.

New Bay gelding. Half-brother to smart 7f winner Serengeti. Dam, 9f winner, half-sister to smart 5f winner Requinto out of smart 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Damson. Another warranting a close market check for clues on racecourse debut.

Twice-raced colt who could only run to a similar level as on debut when fourth of 8 in novice at this course (7.1f, 8/1) 13 days ago. Type his yard can likely do well with in handicaps on the back of this.

Once-raced filly. 66/1, last of 9 in maiden at Southwell (7.1f) on debut 54 days ago, slowly into stride and always behind.

Boasts a very attractive pedigree and there was plenty of encouragement to glean from her strong finishing second of 14 in novice at Southwell (7.1f) on debut 47 days ago, clear of rest. Sure to progress with this step up to 1m rating a definite plus.

Forecasts

Sintra (6/4), Pendella (13/8), Sovereign Bay (7/2), Outback Heat (15/2), Multaneighttothree (22/1), Star Of Emerald (66/1), Leysthorpe Star (100/1), Hero Fred's Lass (150/1), Chin Chin Ginny (200/1), Spirit Of Tokyo (250/1)

Verdict

Not a strong maiden by any means and newcomer SINTRA who ticks plenty of boxes on paper could well be the answer, with confidence behind in the betting bolstering that view. Pendella, was a very promising second on debut at Southwell 7 weeks ago and looks sure to be suited by this step up to 1m, she's a serious danger. Sovereign Bay and Outback Heat are another pair of debutants to note.
