Runner-up at Epsom and here before an excusable defeat at Ascot after getting a worked up in the stalls; the principal concern would an apparent preference for drier ground.

Made all to win a Doncaster maiden (6.5f, good) for Hugo Palmer as a 2yo and a similar level of form in three turf handicaps for this yard since returning in June; needs a bit more but is closely related to a few AW winners so she could improve for the new surface.

Highly tried on two occasions but, based on bare form, has not progressed from her maiden win on second 2yo start; 3lb out of weights in this warm handicap on second run for new stable; opposed.

Form & Verdict
Made all over 6f here in early summer, when he had newcomer Metahorse back in third; is 4lb better off with that one, having since gone close on his nursery debut (AW), but needs to find a bit more again for going beyond sprint trips for the first time.

Better since upped to this trip, winning at Carlisle despite hanging both ways before a solid effort off this mark on the AW last weekend; the outside stall is never ideal but he'll be 1lb higher from tomorrow and looks on the upgrade.

Won for blinkers first being fitted and did so again for them going back on over C&D two months ago; lacked consistency in recent times and there's not much wiggle room off this mark but he's capable if on a going day.

Visor helped when winning three times in July, latterly over C&D off a 6lb lower mark; maybe just didn't take to Polytrack last time but that will need forgiving against some less-exposed rivals.

Ayr third reads well enough and today's easier 7f may help, having finished behind Ludo's Landing last time; is entitled to at least close the gap on that one on 3lb better terms, especially if first-time headgear has a positive effect.

Five wins last year, one of them over C&D, and he's back on the scoresheet already after his narrow win at Ripon three weeks ago; up 5lb and drawn widest, but the first two were clear last time and he's never been better.

Spioradalta

J: Jason Hart

Five wins last year (various ground), two of them over C&D, and campaign concluded with good third at Redcar in November; respectable reappearance run at Doncaster recently and could show the benefit of that outing today.

8/1

Verdict

The return to an easy 6f in a valuable sales race proved beyond METAHORSE at York, but he’d previously looked progressive and this is less competitive back up in trip. Spioradalta, who’s 3lb better off with Ludo’s Landing than when behind him at Carlisle, is another to consider over this easier 7f in first-time headgear.[Graham Wheldon]
