Aquarium¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston

11/10

Half-brother to 1m4f winner Cubanita who cost 16,000 gns as a yearling. Showed a good deal of promise when third over this distance on debut at Kempton and improvement is anticipated even though he may want further in time.

Form: 3

Looking For Carl

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: H J L Dunlop

25/1

Gelded son of Lope De Vega who fetched €23,000 as a yearling and whose dam is is a half-sister to 1m Listed winner Melba Breeze. Some appeal on breeding, but is likely to need this debut run.

Unveiling³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman

12/1

Mayson filly who cost 6,000 gns as a foal and was sold for £7,000 as a yearling. Successful in an ordinary juvenile event on debut at Wolverhampton last month, but more is probably needed to win this contest.

Form: 1-

Trade Talks

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: R L Moore| T: J Noseda

11/4

Gelded son of Cacique who fetched 10,000 gns as a yearling and is a half-brother to three winners from 5f to 1m. Top jockey booked for respected stable and is well worth a check in the betting market.

Pastoral Dreams²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: S Dow

20/1

Has failed to land a blow in novice events at this course and Kempton. Qualifies for a handicap mark after this and that looks the direction in which he will be pointed.

Form: 9-6

Rum Ration¹⁸⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Joey Haynes| T: M H Tompkins

100/1

Failed to beat a rival in novice contests at Wolverhampton and at this track last summer. Stable brings its horses along slowly and this gelding is likely to be seen to better effect in handicaps.

Form: 00-

Minute Mile

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding

20/1

Tamayuz filly who cost €20,000 as a yearling and is a half-sister to five winners over a variety of distances. Good stable can ready one first time so any market support would be interesting.

Form:

(5)

Heaven Up Here

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: L Morris| T: E F Vaughan

20/1

Holy Roman Emperor filly who fetched €8,000 as a yearling and is a half-sister to a couple of middle-distance winners. Likely to need this debut run, but worth a check in the betting all the same.

Make Magic

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock

7/1

Makfi filly who was bought for 8,500 gns at Newmarket Sales in November. Half-sister to four winners and may go well on debut for in-form stable.

Forecasts

Aquarium (11/10), Trade Talks (11/4), Make Magic (7/1), Unveiling (12/1), Minute Mile (20/1), Pastoral Dreams (20/1), Heaven Up Here (20/1), Looking For Carl (25/1), Rum Ration (100/1)

Unveiling was successful on debut and warrants respect, but this is probably a much deeper race than the one she won and the vote goes to AQUARIUM, who showed plenty of promise on his first run at Kempton and should be much sharper this time. Some interesting newcomers are headed by Trade Talks, Minute Mile and Make Magic.
