Young Bernie²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding

20/1

Improved on debut effort when finishing fifth in a 7f novice race at Kempton earlier this month. Interesting to see how he fares in this contest.

Form: 6-5

(9)

Tabassor³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Dane O'Neill| T: C Hills

5/2

Off the mark at the second attempt when winning over an extended 1m at Nottingham (good-to-firm) last month. Remains open to improvement and is one for the shortlist on this occasion.

Form: 31

(7)

Alfred Boucher²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: H Candy| OR: 80

5/6

Placed on three of his five starts so far and finished a decent sixth over 7f at Kempton on handicap debut last time out. One to note back in novice company.

Form: 422-36

Voltaic²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Raul Da Silva| T: P & O Cole| OR: 75| BF

6/1

Finished runner-up on two most recent starts including over C&D on good-to-firm ground at the start of this month. Likely more needed here however.

Form: 363-422

And Yet She Moves³⁸²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: E J Walsh| T: A West

100/1

Well beaten in two previous starts including over 6f on the AW here earlier this month. Probably best watched at present.

Form: 70-

Crochet

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Oisin Murphy| T: H Palmer

8/1

Unraced daughter of First Defence and is a full-sister to multiple winner First Link. Worth a check in the market on racecourse debut.

Elzaam's Dream^h¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: K T O'Neill| T: R Harris

33/1

Broke her maiden at the first attempt when winning a selling race over 6f at Leicester (good-to-soft) just under three weeks ago. This looks a much tougher contest.

Form: 1

Forecasts

Alfred Boucher (5/6), Tabassor (5/2), You Little Ripper (5/1), Voltaic (6/1), Crochet (8/1), Young Bernie (20/1), Elzaam's Dream (33/1), Red Moon Lady (66/1), And Yet She Moves (100/1)

A highly competitive looking novice contest can go the way of TABASSOR who showed improvement when winning last time out. The selection represents a good yard and she can get the better of You Little Ripper who has placed on all four starts this season while third place can go to Alfred Boucher who can put a disappointing latest effort behind him.
