NORFOLK BLUE (1) recorded a strong 1.75L second in a 1400m handicap at Sandown before a fair 6L fifth tackling the same handicap level over 1400m at Haydock. Open to further improvement revisiting maiden company. Rates highly. INSPECTRE (2) represents a notable local stable and the gelding showed a good level of progress second up when out performing large odds to be 4.5L fourth contesting a 1600m maiden at Lingfield AW two weeks ago. Worth including. MUCHACHO (3) shaped well posting a 6.5L third in a 1200m turf novice race at Lingfield. Improvement likely. TWILIGHT BABY (4) managed to take a step forward at Redcar when 6.75L third in a 1400m maiden. Can continue the progress.

Most recently 5th of 8 at Haydock Park on August 8 over 1400m, 6 len behind Norcross Brow with 59.5kg at $2.90. The run before that 2nd in a small field at Sandown Park on July 24 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Lyra Lea carrying 58kg at $4.50. Terrific chance for a return to form.

Resuming. Finished off last preparation third of 8 at Lingfield June 18 over 1200m, 6 len behind Rumble Ruby with 58kg at $8. On debut ran last in a small field at Leicester June 8 over 1200m, 7 len behind Jellystone Park carrying 55kg at $26. Only has a small field to contend with and could prove tough to beat.

Third-up today. Resumes off a 44 day letup. First-up 8th of 12 at Southwell All Weather on July 5 over 1400m, 5 len behind Miss Gallant with 56kg at $51. Second run from a spell 3rd in a small field at Redcar on July 19 over 1400m, 6 len behind Indefensible with 57kg at $34. Fair effort on that occasion but this looks beyond her reach.
