No match for the winner in a small field at Lingfield last time when in new cheekpieces but his record here (2-2) heightens interest.

9st 9lb

J: Edward Greatrex

T: Robert Cowell

Gained both wins in 5.2f Brighton nurseries last summer; close second of four at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) last month, his second start this season, but didn't fire at Windsor a fortnight later; needs to respond well to first-time cheekpieces and prove himself on an AW surface.

Form & Verdict
Front-runner who won a Lingfield AW novice last August; capable of winning off this mark and feasible excuses in last two races, on account of soft ground (watch the weather) and pulling too hard; not ruled out.

Consistent maiden who has made the frame from off the pace on all three starts for her new stable this summer (5f-6f, good to firm); remains on the same mark; probably on the premises again.

Betting Forcast

11/4 London Is Blue, 7/1 Loleeta, 11/2 Havana Jag, 11/2 Beach Partee, 7/2 My Mate Mackley, 100/30 Shining Guest

Verdict

A small field but a strong pace looks on the cards as Loleeta and My Mate Mackley (second choice) won’t be hanging around. It could set up nicely for strong traveller LONDON IS BLUE (nap) who is 2-2 at this track. None of the six are ruled out.[Alistair Jones]
