Verdict
A wide-open nursery to begin proceedings on the Knavesmire. Deepsand pounced late to deny C&D winner Nameitwhatyoulike at Ayr three weeks ago but this is the first time Tim Easterby's colt will have encountered fast ground. Rent Free is also bidding for a hat-trick but is more exposed than some, while Passionada has more to do than when scoring at Pontefract. Key Ambition has risen 3lb since his close second at Newbury and Jessie's Spirit disappointed last time, but Gung Ho Jack won nicely at Goodwood in August and Springinmystep has been highly tried since winning his maiden at Beverley. RADIO GAGA, representing last year's successful trainer/jockey combination, has only had the one run but her win at Haydock could hardly worked out any better with the next four home all winning since. She is open to plenty of improvement and can score again.
