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.

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.

Has a patchy record in ten starts but she won on turf last autumn and was creditable second from off the pace at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last time; looks worth another try at this trip and she's in the mix off unchanged mark.

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.

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]
