Reappeared with a winning handicap debut at Doncaster (good to firm) in April but she was miles below that when favourite but tailed off at Salisbury (again 7f, good) four weeks later; that was too bad to be true and subsequent two-month break suggests something possibly came to light; might be worth another chance.

Big prices for three runs last backend, two on soft ground (7f-1m1f), pulling hard laterly; hard to know what he might be capable of as yet and the market will be the best guide back from seven months off.

Best effort for Brian Meehan came over 1m2f (managed second) and was last seen stretching out to 1m4f; changed hands for 14,000gns this month; this won't take much winning and a positive market move would look significant; goes without headgear.

Showed improved form in first-time blinkers when a good second at Salisbury (1m2f, good) in May and he's posted two respectable efforts since, albeit he didn't look to relish this the step up to this trip at Newmarket two weeks ago; first-time cheekpieces replace blinkers.

Tailed off last July on sole 2yo start; took a step forward when fifth of 14 on her comeback at Kempton in May (7f, Polytrack; Cixi third) and looks to have a future, but this Sea The Moon filly may be of greater interest when tackling longer distances.

Consistent gelding who won well at Lingfield (1m, AW) and with a clear run he might well have followed up off 6lb higher over C&D a month ago (beaten by Roi De Coeur); up another 4lb but he was clear of the third last time and looks a good bet to give his running.

Verdict

The call is FALLACIOUS PROMISE (nap) who is nicely consistent and could easily have won last month’s race here that went to Roi De Coeur. Shadowmere (second choice) and Coxy’s Star are lightly raced contenders who ran personal bests last time out, while Something Coming has to be shortlisted as well.[Alistair Jones]
