Not particularly solid on his form (three attempts) for new stable and is 0-5 on turf, with both wins on AW; on a reduced mark but isn't the percentage call.

Won off 3lb higher at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) last March but he's not matched that form since and was beaten 6l over C&D and at Redcar (1m2f) last month; hasn't been with Ruth Carr for long but he needs to raise his game back on AW.

T: Ruth Carr

Dual AW winner for the Newland/Insole stable; changed hands for 9,000gns in July and his sixth of eight on stable debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) 16 days ago was a little more encouraging than it seems; needs a step forward, though, and soft ground would be a query.

In great form earlier this season notching up back-to-back handicap wins at Cork off 75 and Gowran Park off 82; not disgraced in a Cork Group 3 (1m4f, good) on her penultimate start but well-beaten in a Listed heat at Gowran Park on latest; probably up against it in this company.

Is 0-7; has run okay on his last two starts in a maiden at Laytown (7f) and in a maiden claimer at Bellewstown (1m, yielding to soft), weak; well-beaten in sole completed handicap off 71 in August; 6lb lower now but still doesn't look that well-treated and not sure he stays this far; others preferred.

Verdict

New Phenonemon probably has as good a chance as any but she has bypassed a previous soft-ground engagement so conditions could be problematic. Two who will go on the ground are QUANTUM LIGHT and Nostringsattached, with the former earning narrow preference on the strength of her two good runs at the Galway festival.[Alistair Jones]
