Proven winner who's turned in two solid efforts for Tom Kiely-Marshall lately, backing up his Newcastle win off 5lb lower with a second on turf (again from the front); hard to discount him in current form.

Ten career wins divided between turf and the AW; well on top last time at Newcastle under Tom Kiely-Marshall but back up 5lb and it's been over two years since he defied a mark in the 70s.

Latest of his nine wins was over C&D in February off a 1lb higher mark; that helps show that he needs a second look, despite mixed fortunes since.

Form & Verdict
Found an ordinary Wolverhampton handicap when winning in first-time cheekpieces off 2lb lower two months ago; easy to back on turf last time, when running to a similar level, and today's extra furlong won't hurt on that evidence.

Produced a career best when winning in added cheekpieces at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) six weeks ago; that form perhaps isn't the strongest on offer but he's open to further improvement off a 2lb higher mark.

Best effort when third of 11 on handicap debut at Thirsk (1m4f, good; first start since being gelded) last month; drop in trip may be no bad thing and cheekpieces are given a go; shortlisted.

Form & Verdict
From a good family (not bred for this far) and, while still a maiden who's been expensive to follow, he's been giving hope lately; again looked a touch unlucky last time and this mark should be within range; shortlisted.

Form & Verdict
Had his chances on the AW for Charlie Johnston last winter prior to being picked up for 45,000gns; Galway on his debut for new connections looked a punt and so it proved, with him well beaten; needs a deal more on his handicap debut.

Frequent slow starter who's consistent but hard to win with and who will always need things to fall just so; on a fair mark, though, under Billy Loughnane (ordinary 2-33 for the yard), having run well over C&D early in the month.

Twice showed fair form at 1m in his four Irish races last term for Ger Lyons; well beaten on handicap debut there, however, and it was the same story in May on three British starts; AW debut.

Betting Forcast

10/1 Everyoneknowsadave, 6/1 Bearwith, 5/2 Faeberon, 7/2 Saxophonist, 10/1 New Bay Star, 6/1 Golspie, 5/1 Pace Attack, 66/1 Carwyn

Verdict

Golspie is quite capable off this mark but there will always be risks attached and the fact he’s won just one of his last 26 starts, during which time he’s been turned over at 5-1 or shorter ten times, says it all. It’s still early days with Pace Attack but this can go to SAXOPHONIST, who hasn’t had the breaks on turf the past twice.[Graham Wheldon]
