Not disgraced when fourth (Vaal) two weeks ago; last two efforts in this headgear not so encouraging; has shown glimpses of ability recently and has a decent shout.

British bred; gelded already; this son of Nyquist is making his debut; probably best watched this time and the betting could be informative.

This just her third race; was sixth of nine, beaten 8l, last month; trainer going well a plus; could be interesting with that experience under her belt.

T: S G Tarry
Turned in a solid effort in defeat last month, when third over 7f (maiden plate); lightly raced (running for just the third time); from powerful trainer; can make a decent bid.

Verdict

Pumpkin Pie is one of the more interesting newcomers but TRAIL RUNNER is top of the list. Nkwenkwezi needs to be considered, and Mizzen Sword is one that needs plenty of respect.
