Selected odds by:

(3)

Treble Clef

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: L Carter

66/1

Gelded son of Helmet who cost 150,00 gns as a yearling but was snapped up for only £1,500 at the sales last summer. May have had a few problems given that history and is best watched on belated debut.

Form:

(8)

Al Moataz

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: M M Monaghan| T: M Botti

25/1

Rock Of Gibraltar out of a Dubawi mare and is closely related to a winning sprinter. Makes his racecourse bow and his good pedigree makes him of interest if the market speaks in his favour.

Form:

(5)

Dargel¹⁸⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Hector Crouch| T: C G Cox

5/1

Dark Angel colt who cost connections 45,000 gns and is a half-brother to multiple winner The Resdev Way among others. Shaped in pleasing fashion when sixth of 14 on debut over 7f at Newbury in September so is one to note on return to action.

Form: 6-

(9)

Desert Lion

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Oisin Murphy| T: D M Simcock

11/2

Gelded son of Lope De Vega whose dam was a juvenile winner in Italy. Represents respected connections so is clearly one to be interested in as he makes his racecourse bow.

Form:

(4)

Glory¹⁹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon| OR: 78

5/2

Several promising efforts as a juvenile, but was out of his depth on final start in a valuable sales race at Doncaster. Leading chance on form, but may be vulnerable to less exposed rivals.

Form: 52520-

(12)

Lehoogg¹⁸⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian

9/4

By Bated Breath, he cost 85,000 gns as a yearling and possesses plenty of speed in his pedigree. Easy to back when promising fourth of 11 in a Yarmouth maiden on debut last September and is open to improvement for top trainer/jockey combination.

Form: 4-

(10)

Mandocello

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Charlie Bennett| T: B R Millman

66/1

Gelded son of Motivator whose dam won over 6f in France. Stable going well, but is not normally noted for winning debutants so this one is probably one to watch with the future in mind.

Form:

(7)

Swiss Cheer^h1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman

6/1

Stepped up on debut when fair fourth of 10 over C&D earlier this month, running on well after failing to get a clear run. Wears a hood for the first time and is one of the more interesting contenders.

Form: 8-4

(6)

Tavus⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Jason Watson| T: H & R Charlton

33/1

Well held, but not disgraced, in two novice events at this venue. Stoutly bred and should do better over longer distances, probably in handicap company.

Form: 7-6

(11)

Thunder And Light

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J P Spencer| T: M Botti

20/1

Australia colt who fetched 100,000 gns as a yearling. Stable companion of Al Moataz and looks the yard's number one on jockey bookings. May need further than this in time, but is one to keep an eye on in the betting on debut.

Form:

(1)

Necoleta²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: David Egan| T: S Kirk

66/1

Fourth foal of 1m2f winner Ellbeedee and a half-sister to 6f juvenile winner Bournemouth Belle. Left Hugo Palmer unraced for 9,000 gns in December and was a never-nearer sixth of 10 on debut at Wolverhampton. May need more time to develop.

Form: 6

(2)

Redemptress⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Liam Jones| T: J G M O'Shea

150/1

Well behind in both starts at Wolverhampton. Has plenty to find on those displays, but can run in handicaps after this and that looks the likely route.

Form: 0-7

Forecasts

Lehoogg (9/4), Glory (5/2), Dargel (5/1), Desert Lion (11/2), Swiss Cheer (6/1), Thunder And Light (20/1), Al Moataz (25/1), Tavus (33/1), Mandocello (66/1), Treble Clef (66/1), Necoleta (66/1), Redemptress (150/1)

Glory sets the standard on form, but he is not bombproof by any means and preference is for DARGEL, who showed a good deal of promise on his debut at Newbury in September and looks the type to improve with a winter under his belt. Lehoogg and Swiss Cheer have shown enough to suggest they can make their presence felt, while Thunder And Light and Desert Lion are interesting debutants.
