4 10-2

K S McHugh (7)

J Parr

Made late headway from a long way back when third, beaten 3l, in a novice at Lingfield on debut. Effective at 7f and acts on AW; should improve for that initial experience.

Ran to her debut form, probably wanting a stronger pace at 7f, when fourth, beaten 6l, in a maiden at Lingfield last time. Bred to get at least 8f and may want further; quite small and others are fancied.

Nicola Currie

J Channon

15,000gns Starspangledbanner filly; dam was an unraced half-sister to an Italian 10f winner. Trainer in form and would not need to be a star to get competitive in this.

Verdict

Variety Act took a backward step after making a promising debut at Chelmsford and a tendency to hang has hindered his chance on both occasions. He is still one of the likelier winners, but COMIC HERO is preferred. Andrew Balding's charge went close in a couple of novice events on turf last season but was crying out for a step up in trip and, now afforded just that, he can break the maiden. Portman Blue must concede weight all round, but there were positive signs at Lingfield on his introduction.

Top Tip: Comic Hero (2)
Watch out for: Variety Act (3)

Expert View Verdict

This can go to COMIC HERO, who ran two good races on turf last summer, most recently finishing runner-up over 6f at Newbury in July. He returns newly gelded and over a trip that should suit ideally. His top yard also does well here, so this looks a good opportunity. The 4yo Portman Blue shouldn't be discounted, following a promising debut at Lingfield and with improvement likely. Variety Act needs to get back to her debut level but is respected if she does dropping in trip.
