Verdict
SIRAJIAH is obviously frustrating to punters and connections alike after five successive seconds but looks on an acceptable mark for her handicap debut and comes here in preference to what would almost certainly have proved a more straightforward option in a Redcar maiden on Tuesday. We'll take the hint in the hope it's sixth time lucky, especially as she's proven on good to soft ground should conditions change. Frenchman produced a commendable effort on his first shot at sprinting last time and a similar effort will put him in the firing line, whilst In Haste is respected on the back of a solid Lingfield placed effort latest for a yard enjoying a fine campaign. Rosie Royce is a possible improver and recent scorer, Equistar, and nicely-weighted Himalayan Queen are others worthy of consideration.
