Impressive all-the-way success over 7f at Newcastle and shaped as though this trip would only bring more improvement. Likely to go close off this mark on handicap debut for in-form stable.
Winner of a novice over 7f here but didn't seem to see out the mile when last seen at York in October. Gelded since but others preferred at this trip on season debut.
Ran well here both starts last year compared to two turf runs and a winner on C&D handicap debut last October. Gelded since and looks the type to improve again with time. Leading player.
Runner-up on last three starts in maiden and novice company all over 7f and has hit the line previously as though this trip may suit. Rates a player off a workable on handicap debut.
Improved on two starts for Mark Johnston when done on the line over a furlong further here this month. Drop in trip may prove ideal and can be involved on handicap debut.
Just steady progress in three starts last year. Stable in good form but this may prove a tough ask on handicap and season debut.
Forecasts
Havana Rocket (11/10), Multamis (7/2), Assimilation (6/1), Wanaasah (13/2), Self Assessment (10/1), Prince Of Harts (16/1)
A tight contest with all the runners open to plenty of progress. MULTAMIS showed a very good attitude after being stuck wide on his handicap debut here last year and could be one to follow this time around. Havana Rocket will make a bold bid and is respected along with fellow handicap debutante Wanaasah.
