Mercenary Rose⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: P & O Cole| DWS

11/4

Made a winning debut when victorious by 3L in a 5f novice event on the AW at Lingfield in December. Disappointed in a Group 3 over 7f last month and strong claims back down in trip on first start since wind surgery.

Form: 1-0

Celtic Manor²⁰²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas

1/1

Placed on both starts to date most recently when runner-up over this trip at Wolverhampton in early November. Given a break since then and is one to note on turf and seasonal debut.

Form: 32-

Deptford Mick¹⁹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S W Kelly| T: Rae Guest| OR: 69

14/1

Decent fourth in a 5f novice event at Bath (good-to-soft) in October. Below that form on soft ground at Doncaster (6f) the following month and is making his first start since being gelded.

Form: 840-

Journey Of Life^h⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R L Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 76

11/4

Placed twice from six starts most recently when 4L second on the AW at Wolverhampton (6f) last week. Yet to prove he's as effective on turf and interesting to see how he performs.

Forecasts

Celtic Manor (1/1), Mercenary Rose (11/4), Journey Of Life (11/4), Deptford Mick (14/1), Broadhaven Dream (66/1)

MERCENARY ROSE impressed on debut and dropping markedly in grade she can concede weight to her rivals and register a first turf success in the process. Celtic Manor represents a top yard and he can chase the selection home on his first appearance on turf while third can go to Journey Of Life who was placed at Wolverhampton recently.
