Form & Verdict
Thrice-raced colt who isn't completely solid off this opening mark, judged on balance of form; improvement is still possible now handicapping but whether he can defy top weight is another matter.

21-race maiden but he's not been with James Owen for long and has finished runner-up in classified events over C&D and at Lingfield (7f, AW) in last two starts; should get a good pace on this drop back in trip and he's respected back in a handicap; reapplied cheekpieces replace a visor.

0-19 but shaped well before fading into fiffh in 1m Lingfield handicap for new stable this month (first-time visor) and may benefit from today's drop back in trip; interesting.

Form & Verdict
Interesting on debut effort (fourth to smart rival) but nowhere near that form in her two subsequent runs, latest for new yard; chance partly depends on how well she responds to first-time headgear.

Catterick nursery winner (7f, soft) for Ed Dunlop in September 2023, and runner-up on AW at Southwell (7f; 28-1, when 8lb higher) last summer; nothing positive to take from recent C&D stable debut; risky in first-time hood.

Better than bare result at Chepstow (5f) on nursery debut; opened her account at Leicester (6f, good to soft) since, holding on by a neck, and looks capable of further progress at this level; respected up 5lb.

Consistent spell at maiden/novice level included Catterick success on good ground; however, her nursery form (all in cheekpieces) is far from compelling; needs to do much better with the headgear removed.

Justified favouritism at Lingfield (6f; soft) in June, that his highest ever winning mark (72); 12th of 26 (beaten 7l) in a race a number of these rivals contested at Goodwood recently; prospect of rain helpful, with Callum Rodriguez booked.

Verdict

Preference is for Leicester scorer CYPRIOT DIASPORA, who looks open to further improvement in handicaps and represents last year’s winning yard. Lady Ava, another last-time-out winner who may well have more to offer, is feared most ahead of Charlie Mason and Without Flaw.[Steve Boow]
