10st 2lb

J: Miss Alice Crowley

T: Gary & Josh Moore

Has won two of his last four races, with the latest at Lingfield (visor remover; 1m, AW) quite decisive at the finish; carries no penalty and he's 6lb well in; 0-9 on turf but effective on the surface.

Course winner over 7f three starts back off 9lb lower; went close at Southwell (7f, AW) when ridden by Jude Fernandes next time but blew his chance by hanging right over this C&D three days ago; visor is removed and he needs to bounce back.

The outsider of four for his Brighton debut (extended 5f, good to firm) last month but he was the only one to make a race of it with the much more experienced winner and should be all the better for the experience; close up if handling the slower ground.

Brushed aside back on AW in August but it was quite a useful contest; had previously delivered more on sole turf outing, when no match for a talented rival but clear of the rest at Newbury (6f, good to soft; form worked out) in July; respected on that run.

Looked open to improvement when finishing sixth of 11 on her Yarmouth debut (6f, good to firm) but it wasn't forthcoming at Carlisle since; this easier track might suit better but she tackles much more testing ground and fitting a tongue-tie needs to make a difference.

Verdict

Although THINK OF A NAME failed to do himself justice on Tapeta last time out he had looked to have more to come in his sole turf outing, at Newbury in July, and has at least shown he can handle a slowish surface. Rory Rocket did well on his Brighton debut and both he and stablemate Dannick, who ran better than the result suggests at Sandown, are possible alternatives, along with William Haggas’s Bintshuaa and newcomer Mini Mac for whom a market move would be significant.[Emily Weber]
