J: Billy Loughnane

T: Ollie Sangster

Doubled his tally when winning in first-time cheekpieces at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last month and followed up with a narrow success here on turf 24 days ago; a 1lb rise may not be enough to prevent another bold bid.

J: Sean D Bowen

T: Ollie Sangster

Close second twice on good to firm turf last month before winning in first-time cheekpieces on Tapeta (also 7f) 11 days ago; 5lb higher here but commands respect in current form; usual tongue-tie (left off last time) is refitted.

Form & Verdict
Has shown all his win and place form over 6f; not entirely disgraced over 1m on penultimate start but still needs to properly show that he's a miler; inconsistent this season.

Paranjape

9st 4lb

J: Millie Wonnacott

T: S Woods

Suited by AW and won at Wolverhampton (6f maiden) in November, with two bits of form on Chelmsford Polytrack too; beaten a neck at Southwell (6f) in April but below form since over 6f, 7f and 1m, so others look more solid; wears headgear first time.

Suited by AW but has shown best form over 6f, including a close second at Southwell; modest fourth returned to 7f last time; something to prove over this new trip.

Form & Verdict
Reasonably exposed over shorter distances and remains a maiden; attractively treated on best efforts but chance of finally winning partly depends on the effects of new trip.

J: Donagh Murphy

T: Dominic Ffrench Davis

Regressive maiden who continues to race freely, so dropping back from 7f might be no bad thing; wouldn't be the percentage play, though.

Form & Verdict
Ran well in 7f AW novice event at Lingfield on final 2yo start, shaping as if 1m will suit; no progress in turf handicaps this term but ran respectably last time; interesting returned to this venue.

Runner-up in Lingfield novice (7f, AW) last December on third start; soundly beaten in three handicaps this season; others have more compelling claims.

J: Kieran Shoemark

T: Ed Walker

Runner-up in Lingfield novice (7f, AW) last December on third start; soundly beaten in 1m handicaps on her two starts this season; showed pace last time and it's possible this lightly raced 3yo will be suited by today's first crack at sprinting, but others have more compelling claims.

Betting Forcast

8/11 Musical Soldier, 10/1 Paranjape, 7/1 Heir Of Ambition, 8/1 Ahead Of Fashion, 7/2 Laughterintherain

Verdict

Musical Soldier has a major chance in the retained cheekpieces, provided the return to 1m doesn’t backfire. However, LAUGHTERINTHERAIN looks a plausible alternative returned to the scene of her peak effort.[Steve Boow]
