10/3
Too free for her own good and not in same form as when narrowly beaten 7 days earlier when fourth of 12 in nursery (3/1) at this course (8.1f) just over 2 weeks ago, unsuited by step up in trip. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Expected to be bang there.

Showed much improved form to cause a shock when winning 10-runner nursery at Newcastle (6f, 125/1) 7 days ago, getting a much clearer run down the outside than some of his rivals. May do better still now up and running.

Forecasts

Kaleidoscope Eyes (10/3), Grey Operations (7/2), Andalseeyagraham (11/2), A Fine Claret (15/2), Ceira G (8/1), What What What (9/1), Miss Pocket Rocket (11/1), Black Sky (20/1), Followeroffashion (22/1), General Gordon (22/1), Cuda Been A Rowlex (28/1), Tango In Paris (50/1)

Verdict

KALEIDOSCOPE EYES was narrowly denied over 7f here last month and having been too free for her own good in a reapplied hood upped to 1m last time, Mick Appleby's filly gets the nod to open her account back sprinting in a change of headgear. Grey Operations heads up the dangers following his improved effort over C&D recently, with A Fine Claret and Andalseeyagraham taken to fight out minor honours.
