Form & Verdict
Had plenty of chances with him now 0-11 but he brings the best form and cheekpieces are back on after flirting with a visor last time.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: William Knight

Ten-race maiden but he's knocking at the door, short of room when second of six at Sandown (7f, good to firm) on most recent outing; Oisin Murphy is a positive booking and the first-time visor could be an extra boost; high on the list.

J: Cieren Fallon

0-9 but twice runner-up and latest race at Ffos Las didn't suit his hold-up style; there's a race in him off this mark.

Betting Forcast

4/7 Norfolk Blue, 4/1 Inspectre, 5/1 Muchacho, 13/2 Twilight Baby

Verdict

Taking short odds about an 11-race maiden is risky business but NORFOLK BLUE has the best form in this very weak maiden. Inspectre may build on his improved effort second time out.[Alistair Jones]
