Still a maiden but not disgraced when a non-staying ninth over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m) 48 days ago. Tongue strap goes on for the time and needs considering back in this sphere.

Lightly-raced maiden but didn't look the easiest of rides in a hood when seventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 28 days ago. Not ruled out.

9/4
Resumed winning ways in 12-runner handicap over C&D 14 days ago. Suited by strong pace there and up 3 lb but still not taken lightly.

Son of Showcasing who was gelded before posting a promising fourth of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Has more to offer so must enter calculations eased 1 lb.

Improved since sent handicapping, scoring at Catterick in July before runner-up in 14-runner event at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Holds good form claims off the same mark.

Ended her time with Alice Haynes well below par and she fared no better on his yard debut when seventh of 10 at Kempton (8f) 85 days ago. Plenty more is required.

Lightly-raced maiden- who came in last of 12 in handicap at Redcar (8f, soft) 91 days ago on her final run for Fionn McSharry. Needs this stable switch to spark a resurgence.

Forecasts

Land Of Magic (9/4), Sir Garfield (11/4), Moakadd (3/1), Zaltalla (10/1), Tactical Control (12/1), Dan Dee Prince (14/1), The Ferret (14/1), Guns And Flowers (25/1), Sheila Tequila (33/1)

Verdict

SIR GARFIELD has taken his form up a notch since going into handicaps and is fancied to quickly resume winning ways on the back of his close Redcar second last time out. Roger Varian's Moakaad looks to have better days ahead of him and is feared most, with C&D scorer Land of Magic also in the mix.
