14/1

Had blinkers on first time when overcoming a pace bias to make a winning start in nurseries over 6.5f here (good to firm) in July but has failed to reproduce that level in strong nurseries at Glorious Goodwood and the York Ebor meeting since. Gelded.

Fair form over 7f at Kempton and York (fourth in valuable conditions event on soft) on his last 2 outings. May have more to offer in handicaps.

8/1

Bounced back from 2 poor efforts when getting off the mark in 7-runner seller at Redcar (6f, good to firm) last month. Backed it up with a creditable third of 8 in 7f nursery at Musselburgh (good) 24 days ago. Runner-up on soft ground at the start of his career.

Forecasts

National Honour (4/11), Scienza (5/1), Rock Steady Beat (8/1), Shadow King (14/1)

NATIONAL HONOUR's Kempton win last month has been strongly boosted by the second/third and he looks leniently treated assuming he can cope with this much deeper ground. Rock Steady Beat might be the one for the forecast spot.
