13/2

Placed on two of his three starts so far most recently when finishing a neck second on his AW debut over 7f at Newcastle in November. One for the shortlist in this contest.

Form: 252-

Bobby K

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Ryan Powell| T: S & E Crisford

33/1

Unraced Dabirsim gelding purchased for 27,000 gns as a yearling. Dam successful in a Listed contest over 1m1f in France and worth a check in the market on debut.

Form:

Craving¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: T J Murphy| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 80

1/1

Good efforts on all four outings so far including when finishing ½L third over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton last month. Has attempted to make all on his last three outings and is one to note today.

Form: 4223-

Forricherforpoorer¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: M Harley| T: W J Knight

80/1

Well beaten in two starts to date the latest of which came over this trip at Kempton last month. Likely to be of more interest once tackling handicaps.

Form: 00-

Hasanoanda^p1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

11/4

Two decent efforts so far most notably when finishing a close sixth over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton last time. Had Craving in front of him on that occasion and wears cheekpieces for the first time today.

Form: 46-

(11)

Knight Errant²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: W Jarvis

66/1

Ran green when finishing last of five on debut over this trip at Chelmsford last month. Likely to have benefited from that experience but others make more appeal today.

Form: 5-

(3)

Paco Style¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater

100/1

Finished a well beaten last of 13 when making his debut over 7f at Kempton last month. Needs to step up markedly on that if he's to figure in this contest.

Form: 0-

(9)

Passing Clouds¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Kieren Fox| T: M J Attwater

25/1

Fair third over this trip at Kempton on debut in October but failed to go on from that when well held over the same C&D last time out. More needed today.

Form: 37-

(1)

Pastoral Dreams¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Paddy Bradley⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dow

80/1

Sent off 100/1 prior to finishing a well beaten ninth of 12 on debut over 1m at Kempton last month. Yard in good form (2/6) but appears to have plenty on his plate today.

Form: 9-

(5)

Ragstone Sand¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S W Kelly| T: G & J Moore

66/1

Well beaten in two outings for Murty McGrath and it was a similar result when debuting for this yard over 7f here last month. Others make more appeal.

Form: 078-

(6)

Round The Buoy

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: W J Haggas

10/3

Unraced home-bred Henrythenavigator colt out of an unraced half-sister to top class middle distance performer Kalanisi amongst others. Interesting runner on debut for a stable who are in good form at present (2/5).

Form:

Forecasts

Craving (1/1), Hasanoanda (11/4), Round The Buoy (10/3), Ambient (13/2), Passing Clouds (25/1), Bobby K (33/1), Ragstone Sand (66/1), Knight Errant (66/1), Forricherforpoorer (80/1), Pastoral Dreams (80/1), Paco Style (100/1)

CRAVING has shown plenty of promise in his four starts to date and having finished a good third last time out he can make his first start over today's distance a winning one by confirming last time out running with Hasanoanda who re-opposes today having finished just over a length behind the selection on that occasion. Roger Varian's Ambient finished a decent second on his AW debut at Newcastle and can finish third while the unraced Round The Buoy represents a leading stable and is another to note in this contest.
