mias boy showed he still retains ability at 10 he will struggle to win in this grade but is falling down the weights gradually.Again the pace showing him in better light he could be value at big prices with again more pace in the race,wouldv'e finished upsides dance and dance without being hamoered..

Oriental relation
Oriental relation had looked thorioughly exposed running in the 70s on turf struggling to win and over a variety of trips looked one to avoid.Was switched to the aw last time out when collared by angel flores off my to follows,the time of that race wasn't great but le latier has franked the form this week by rinning third in a decent handicap at Kempton.Even with that form being frankled he still looked one to avoid at probable prices,but tonight hacked up by 5ls could've been 8ls and the most impressive thing was the time 1m2.30 that time looked comparatively quick on a card where the 87 rated rivelinos 6f race was 3.12 seconds above standard yet won by over 3ls and could well be a mid 90s horse looking at turf form and progressive sprinter still.Oriental relation is obviously not straight forward but the blinkers have helped looking at this run and the minimum trip,at lingfield he may even take more pegging back as long as he doesn't get a rise of more than 3 pound he may just be worth risking in handicaps as this looks a decent rin on the aw..
Just to add if you look at debut run at Leicester he finished behind anhesontherun now rated 94 and atlantic affair rated 80 had previous experience ran in gp 2 on second run then switched to variety of trips and ground so the debut run does point to him being potentially reasonably well handicvapped.

Strong man
Repitition
Strong mans looked exposed but was only second ever run at swell today,taken on by piceno throughout he did well to stay on well behind kung hei fat choy probably different class to these.He's off 68 one iof his highest ever marks but the way he travelled on surface this could turn out he's better on the surface and may pick up one of these when allowed to dominate.Repitition looks hard ride hanging both ways through the race,has won at swell on debut but ran poorly last run here.Still with only the 11 runs there could be more to come on the surface and I wouldn't be surprised to see some headgear.It maybe worth even trying him over a mile and his marks creeping towards 65 which would enable hiom to run in very weak races at the track.

Hunting ground
Nice performance on only third run at swell clocking a reasonable time of 2m36.40 with lots of improvement to come.As many I've put on here recently I've waited to see if he could translate the form to the turf ran ok today but not going to be as good on turf unless he wants further looked at swell as though the further he went the better he was.He's been given a mark of 86 for the aw which may not leave him hardly anything to run in on at swell but worth bearing in mind if he switches surfaces during the winter and a few 0s infront of his name may just get overpriced.Out of top class dirt performers street cry and panty raid he's one to watch closely as he progresses!
