Form & Verdict
Cheekpieces applied when she raced freely and didn't get home over 1m2f at Goodwood on her handicap debut in June; there's hope for this trip on pedigree but she'll need to settle better.

Best effort when third of 13 in a Wolverhampton maiden (8.6f, AW) for Alice Haynes in October, but two heavy defeats since (including on stable debut) leave her with plenty to prove; cheekpieces given a go on handicap debut and they need to have an effect.

Not close to troubling the judge in his four races, last time always out the back on handicap debut at Windsor (1m2f; 10-1); in good hands but hard to be confident about him right now.

Modest in three starts over 1m on turf/AW late last year, but may improve now upped in trip for his handicap debut after six months off; worth a market check.

Patchy form in four handicaps from 6f to 1m but she's bred on similar lines to Derby winner Desert Crown so may have more to offer over this new trip; hood added.

Wild Rosie

Hung left last time (may have been down to soft ground); had previously offered more in first-time cheekpieces, without quite seeing out a stiff 1m in better company, and a case could be made for this half-sister to a three-time Kempton winner.

Five-race maiden; faded into sixth of 13 in first-time cheekpieces at Newmarket (1m) most recently; bred to do better still, being related to two winners for her connections; possibilities dropped back in trip.

Attracted support in her new cheekpieces before sixth of nine at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) last Saturday; raced freely that day so she might do better if she relaxes.

Not too far away on handicap debut at Newbury when upped to 1m2f but she found little over that trip at Windsor next time; now goes in cheekpieces with her staying power questioned for 1m4f.

J: Isobelle Chalmers

T: Luke Dace

Latest start, his sixth, was easily his closest finish but that fourth of six in handicap at Lingfield (back down to 1m2f, good to firm) was still low-level form and he needs much better.

Betting Forcast

20/1 Exquisite Skye, 7/1 Goldfinder, 66/1 Living In Hope, 100/1 Parc Dosne, 12/1 African Gib, 33/1 Champagne Beau, 7/2 Lucky Sevens, 15/8 Regulus Black, 33/1 La Kosmos, 20/1 Billingsgate Gold, 7/1 Spinney, 50/1 Alkaios, 20/1 Wild Rosie, 14/1 Dijon Gone, 7/1 Mister Pretentious

Verdict

Rain would muddy the waters further and it’s still very early days for most of these, it not being a shock if one or two stepped up on some modest efforts. One who has already been doing just that is MISTER PRETENTIOUS, who can go one better after a recent C&D second. Regulus Black was also running well when last seen and is next on the list for his new yard, ahead of Lucky Sevens. Market support for any others may prove significant.[Richard Russell]
