The Tunguska Event (Ire)

Age: 2
Weight: 9st 0lbs
Or: 59

Kodi Bear gelding who showed much improved form equipped with blinkers when winning 8-runner nursery (11/1) at this C&D 11 days ago, readily. Handicapper has reacted but he could well take some stopping in follow-up bid if headgear continues to have desired effect.

Yorkshire Queen

Age: 2
Weight: 9st 9lbs
Or: 68

Inns of Court filly who showed fair form on first 2 starts this summer and best not judged too harshly on her fifth of 6 in novice at Chester (6.1f, soft) in September having raced wide. Could yet do better now handicapping on AW debut.

Mister Moet (Ire)

F: 9215078

Weight: 9st 5lbs

Winner at Carlisle in May. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 10 in nursery at Pontefract (6f, soft, 12/1) in October, headed home turn and dropping away. Acquired by new connections for 5,000 gns later that month and others make stronger appeal.

Mereside Princess (Ire)

Age: 2
Weight: 9st 0lbs
Or: 59

Cotai Glory filly. Blinkered for 1st time, very good third of 10 in nursery at this course (7.1f, 33/1) 12 days ago, running on despite taking a long time to settle. Has a race of this nature within reach provided she can channel her energy more efficiently.

Storm Flag (Ire)

J: Callum Hutchinson

F: 583754

Age: 2
Weight: 9st 3lbs
Or: 62

Lightly-raced maiden who failed to come on for a recent run when last of 4 in nursery at Ffos Las (5f, heavy) 51 days ago. Has since left Andrew Balding and she's another who is probably best watched despite sliding mark.

Timeform Verdict

THE TUNGUSKA EVENT proved a different proposition with first-time blinkers enlisted when a ready winner of a C&D nursery 11 days ago and a 9 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow-up provided the headgear continues to have the desired effect. Mereside Princess can provide the chief threat, ahead of handicap debutante Yorkshire Queen.

Betting Forecast

11/10 The Tunguska Event (Ire), 5/1 Yorkshire Queen, 14/1 Mister Moet (Ire), 7/2 Mereside Princess (Ire), 25/1 Container Express, 18/1 Storm Flag (Ire)
