Following a somewhat unremarkable juvenile campaign there was reason for optimism with a nice added maiden win to close with and the progress has been maintained this season with two wins and a third putting The Fly (NEMESIS STUD) way out in front. Proven over both the trip and going he has ticks in all the right boxes and it becomes a big surprise to know that this horse was picked up for $5 from the stable manager. Shaft on the other hand looks to have done his best work as a juvenile and has fallen short so far this season.

Evening Moon (ANFIELD ROAD) was a cheap acquisition from Nemesis Stud and ran The Fly very close over 1 1/8M firm. He has since eased home from Glimmer Of Hope over 1 1/4M firm in a very fast time so has strong claims though does pick up a penalty for that win

Hyperbolic (CHARNWOOD STABLE) last seasons juvenile heroine has run well but will not be able to complete this tricky double as she does not get this trip.

Rancid Kitten (LANES END FARM) won a qualifier over 1m but does see this trip out but has a bit of ground to make up on plenty of these following her latest run behind Evening Moon. Nevertheless she is lightly raced and open to improvement.

Glimmer Of Hope (KINGS OF THRONES) skipped a juvenile campaign and is still a maiden following his four runs this season but should not be disregarded on that count. His last run when beaten a neck by Evening Moon was brimful of promise especially as he is now 2LB better off.

Prolific winner Democratic Values (AMERICAN PHARAOH STABLE) won a qualifier over shorter and will not be able to carry his double penalty over a trip he does not stay.

Fortune Dream (NPMJ RACING) was a close fourth to the fly and entitled to go well but does not look too likely to be able to improve on that.

Jagermeister (JONJOS YARD) has continued to improve but still looks a little short of the required standard.

Brunels Twister (BLACK CAT RACING) had a very lucrative juvenile campaign and has run reasonably well in this one but is vulnerable to a quick pace over this trip.

Kalmove (RUBI ROCKS) was an excellent third to Evening moon and Glimmer Of Hope and it is puzzling that this one is still a maiden.

ANALYSIS: Glimmer Of Hope has much more than that here but, given Lanes End Farms track record, late bloomer RANCID KITTEN may leave him with the sweet taste of success.

ODDS: GLIMMER OF HOPE 7/2 Fav, The Fly 4/1, Rancid Kitten 5/1, Fortune Dream 6/1, Evening Moon 7/1, Brunels Twister 8/1, Kalmove 9/1, Jagermeister 10/1, Shaft 12/1, Hyperbolic 14/1, Democratic Values 16/1
