Form & Verdict
Out of the frame in all five starts on turf/AW, but ran with credit when sixth of 13 in an amateur riders' handicap at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) in June; form of that race has worked out well, but she didn't look to be crying out for this longer trip.

Triple-figure prices for all four starts, the latest her handicap debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW; made most) when finishing a lot closer but in only eighth of 11; no form claims.

Form & Verdict
0-12; runner-up in a couple of turf handicaps (1m2f/11.6f) last summer; only beat one home on stable debut at Lingfield (1m1f, good to firm) this month, but still worth a market check dropped in grade; cheekpieces replace a hood.

All three wins have come at Brighton (1m2f/1m4f); placed in his last two starts in similar contests at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) and has run well on Tapeta at Southwell; first-time visor replaces the usual blinkers and he has every chance on these terms; high on list.

He will have something to prove if slow ground prevails and he was tailed off on his recent reappearance over 2m at Musselburgh; however, that was his first run beyond 1m3f and he went close over that trip at Carlisle last August, when 2lb higher; might not be a forlorn hope back down in trip.

0-6 but he found improvement upped to 1m2f when runner-up in a classified event at Lingfield (good; first-time visor) last week; that was behind a rival who was completing a four-timer and he's a big player if he can build on that.

J: Jack Doughty

T: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole

Eight-race maiden; second in Wolverhampton handicap (9.4f) on seasonal debut in April and put two lesser efforts behind him when sixth there (8.6f) last month but needs to find something extra over this new trip; wore blinkers or cheekpieces for last five races but goes without headgear today.

Betting Forcast

25/1 Beat The Odds, 7/1 D Day Major Winter, 7/2 Fighting Poet, 33/1 Hammal, 9/1 Lawmans Blis, 9/1 Ravenswell, 3/1 Someones Wish, 11/2 Spaceage Love Song, 16/1 NIon, 10/1 Raise The Stakes, 9/2 Smoker Bellamy

Verdict

Quite a competitive race for the grade. Old rivals Fighting Poet and Someone’s Wish make the shortlist, as does four-time course winner Lawman’s Blis (second choice) on stable debut. Smoker Bellamy should go well if he stays, but it may be worth siding with SPACEAGE LOVE SONG who landed a similar contest over C&D in February.[David Bellingham]
