The Meter⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁵⁾| T: M Moubarak| C

20/1

Provided one of the shocks of 2018 when making all here in her second start to win at 150/1 over 7f. Longer trip should hold no fears and even with a penalty she has strong claims with that success the best form on offer.

Form: 91-

Biz Markee¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Josephine Gordon| T: H Palmer

20/1

Some progress from first to second start as he finished sixth of 11 at Lingfield latest. Would suggest that will work out to be a stronger contest than this so each-way possibilities now.

Form: 06-

(6)

Dance To Freedom^t⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: M Dwyer| T: S C Williams

40/1

No obvious progress made in his second start when beaten 12L into seventh of nine here over 7f. Probably best days lie ahead once he hits handicaps.

Form: 97-

(1)

Majestic Dawn

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Raul Da Silva| T: P & O Cole

2/1

Unraced son of Dawn Approach bought for £42,000 as a yearling out of an unraced dam from a good family. Market support would be notable on debut.

Form:

(3)

Mokuba⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Jason Watson| T: B J Meehan

12/1

Son of Helmet cost £26,000 as a yearling and was well held at triple-figure odds when green on debut at Newmarket om October. Hard to make a case for but time on his side.

Form: 0-

(2)

Originaire^p⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Liam Jones| T: W J Haggas| OR: 79| BF

11/10

Finished third in all three starts to date on AW, the last two over 1m. Second in his latest race won easily next time so form looks pretty solid and would expect he can win a race of this nature.

Form: 333-

(7)

Red Desert⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian

6/1

As a son of Australia out of a 1m5f winner by BC Classic winner Invasor his future likely lies over further. Never able to land a blow when eighth of 13 at Wolverhampton on debut and will appeal more when upped in trip.

Form: 8-

Forecasts

Originaire (11/10), Majestic Dawn (2/1), Red Desert (6/1), Mokuba (12/1), Mallet Head (12/1), Biz Markee (20/1), The Meter (20/1), Dance To Freedom (40/1)

After three solid efforts ORIGINAIRE is taken to win this for the prolific William Haggas yard. The best form belongs to The Meter who will be nowhere near the 150/1 odds she was when winning last time out but under a penalty she is now vulnerable. Biz Markee ran respectably in what looked an above average contest last time out.
