Sprint-bred colt who went off at 50-1 for his recent Sandown debut (5f, soft) where he ran green from well off the pace but nevertheless showed signs of ability before getting hampered; can fare better here; yard also runs Rory Rocket.

13-race maiden who can miss the break and he returned after wind surgery with a laboured effort over C&D (17-2) two weeks ago; finished behind three of today's rivals in that race and he needs to leave that form behind.

In the frame in all four starts on the AW, but yet to win after 12 attempts; returns from 191 days off having undergone wind surgery and he may be best watched despite having run well fresh in the past.

0-11 but runner-up in first-time tongue-tie (retained since) at Ascot (7f, soft) last month and did well to finish sixth of 17 there (7f, good to soft) last time having been slowly away; wears first-time blinkers and could have a big part to play.

4yo who made the breakthrough when scoring off a reduced mark at Kempton (6f, Polytrack; 18-1) in March; has claims if he can back that up but he can miss the break and will need a good pace on this drop back to 5f.

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]
