One To Go²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 68

9/1

10-race maiden but placed in 5 of his last 7 starts at up to 1m2f. Steps up half a mile after poor seasonal reappearance and has been dropped 3lb since. Market should indicate if he's fancied to improve for this new trip.

Form: 29333-8

(10)

L'Un Deux Trois²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Hayley Turner| T: M L W Bell| OR: 68

3/1

Mastercraftsman colt whose dam stayed this trip and has shown some ability in his four starts to date. May have needed run on recent reappearance and extra two furlongs could spark improvement.

Form: 946-4

(2)

Magrevio¹⁹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: G Lee| T: L Bailey| OR: 65

66/1

Three starts at up to a mile last term for Lawrence Mullaney and steps up six furlongs for this handicap bow. Longer trip should suit on pedigree but new handler still searching for first winner and may have to wait a little longer.

Moon King¹⁸⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Josephine Gordon| T: R M Beckett| OR: 60

10/1

Sea The Moon gelding who looked fairly slow on first three starts last term but showed imrpoved form stepped up beyond a mile final two outings. Further increase in trip may help and yard has very few runners at this venue.

Form: 68032-

Rich Cummins⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 58| BF

11/8

Found one too good on each of last three starts at 1m4f. Extra two furlongs may help but seems exposed and will do well to follow to score for last year's winning yard.

Form: 090-222

(7)

Tabou Beach Boy³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Nathan Evans| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 56

8/1

Caught last stride on handicap bow over extended 9f at Wolverhampton in January, and finished fair third over 1m4f at Newcastle last time, staying on. Two furlongs more here but trip could suit and has a sporting chance.

Form: 906-23

Well Funded²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: P Hanagan| T: J D Bethell| OR: 55

12/1

€20,000 Camelot filly hasn't shown a great deal in three novice auctions so far up to 1m2f. Makes handicap debut off low mark though and step up in distance may spark improvement. One to monitor for any market support.

Form: 85-5

(6)

Velvet Vista⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: B A Curtis| T: M H Tompkins| OR: 54

33/1

Sea The Moon half-sister to AW 1m2f winner. Not much to shout about so far in three runs at up to 1m2f and would be surprise if she improves enough over this stayers' trip to figure.

Form: 77-4

(11)

Sinndarella¹⁷⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: J P Sullivan| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 50

50/1

Not beaten too far last two starts in modest events at up to extended 9f, but this is a big step up in trip and hasn't indicated she's a thorough stayer.

Form: 006844-

(9)

New Expo¹⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Shelley Birkett| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 47

66/1

Beat a total of two horses home in three runs last year for Hugo Palmer and makes debut here for new connections. Handed low mark (still 2lb wrong at weights) for handicap bow and takes big step up in trip but is hard to enthuse over.

Form: 980-

(5)

Our Boy Zeus²¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: A Mullen| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 45

150/1

Long last on all three runs to date and is impossible to recommend making handicap debut from 4lb out of the handicap.

Form: 090-

Victoriano²⁴

Forecasts

Rich Cummins (11/8), L'Un Deux Trois (3/1), Tabou Beach Boy (8/1), Victoriano (8/1), One To Go (9/1), Moon King (10/1), Well Funded (12/1), Velvet Vista (33/1), Sinndarella (50/1), Magrevio (66/1), New Expo (66/1), Our Boy Zeus (150/1)

There are a number lurking on low marks for handicap debut over a new trip so potential improvers are possible, among them Well Funded, but TABOU BEACH BOY looks as though he'll appreciate this and can just hold sway. Southern raiders L'Un Deux Trois, Victoriano and Moon King should be very much on the premises, and Rich Cummins, representing last year's winning yard, is another to enter calculations.
