J: Kevin Stott

T: Roger Fell

Ex Irish-trained gelding who improved to make a winning start for Roger Fell in 7f Catterick novice in May; has shaped quite well in a couple of handicaps over that trip since (here first occasion); the way he finished off for third at Thirsk last time suggests this step up to 1m is well worth a go.

Fair maiden at 2yrs for Johnny Murtagh; improved to make a winning start for Roger Fell in 7f Catterick novice in May and he shaped promisingly when sixth of 20 in 7f York handicap 24 days ago, finishing well having not enjoyed a clear run; major player eased 1lb

J: Oisin McSweeney

Trained last year in Ireland by Johnny Murtagh; made an immediate impact for new yard when winning Catterick novice (7f, good) 12 days ago, seeming suited by the step up from sprint distances; may improve further but this is a fair bit warmer.

Form & Verdict
0-5 and has had more chances than any of these but she's been steadily progressive and ran well when third in a maiden at Southwell (6f, AW) last month; good second over 7f on turf at York last July; leading form claims.

Slightly disappointing when tried in cheekpieces (removed here) ten days ago and now 0-8 but posted three good efforts beforehand (6f-7f) and will be dangerous off this mark if quickly back on song.

Sent off 33-1 for last month's Leicester debut (7f, good to soft), but was only beaten 2l into third of ten having attempted to make all; a couple of winners have come out of that race and shortlisted if as effective on this different surface.
