Veteran who recorded his tenth win here earlier this month, suited by the good pace venturing into classified company for the first time. Even better form when a head second of 7 in handicap at this course (1m, firm) 16 days ago. Should go close again back up in trip.

Close second at Chepstow last month but he often blows the start which renders him tricky to win with and he again gave up plenty of ground when seventh of 9 in handicap at Ffos Las (1ÂĽm, good to firm) 17 days ago. Has the ability to score from this kind of mark but can't be recommended as a bet.

Multiple winner on Flat last summer but little encouragement to glean under both codes this year.

Low-key start for current connections after a lengthy absence, finishing soundly beaten in 4 handicaps this year. Cheekpieces go on.

Yet to better poor form and though last week's fourth of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (1ÂĽm, good to firm) was one of his better efforts, it's hard to see him shedding his maiden tag from just out of the weights.

Miss Colette338
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-8| J: Gina Mangan| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR:  45WS
Related to several useful types. Well held in novices but has since had a breathing operation and she looks a typical type from the yard, so no surprise to see her prove an entirely different proposition now making her handicap debut over a longer trip.

Forecasts

Blue Hero (6/5), Miss Colette (3/1), Racing Demon (11/2), All About George (15/2), Offiah's Boy (12/1), Hammal (12/1)

Verdict

MISS COLETTE is bred to be much better than her lowly opening mark and can provide Sir Mark Prescott with another winning handicap debutante. Blue Hero arrives in good form and has a positive course record, so rates as the main danger.
