2/1

Enters the calculations after a solid effort to finish second over C&D earlier this month. Interesting that she's been tried in better company than this and not much to find to make a winning start to her handicapping career.

Form: 286-432

10/1

Won twice over 7f at Chepstow already this month and possible the busy spell took it's toll when she was well held last time out. She's certainly paid her way this season but others now look more attractively weighted.

Form: 317115

Kwela¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Georgia Dobie⁽⁷⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 78| D

25/1

Had the race set up for her when she won at Leicester on her penultimate start but was outpaced when the tempo warmed up last time; she now looks vulnerable from her career highest mark. The rider's claim helps but wasn't enough in her latest run.

Form: 39-2516

Strict Tempo¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 77

9/4

Won a maiden last summer but hasn't been able to deliver on the promise since. Been dropped 3lb since her last run and has gone close from this rating before but three runs this term have been modest at best.

Form: 126-557

Phosphor⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: F Sweeney| T: M Meade| OR: 77

13/2

Showed promise on his debut as a juvenile but three starts since have left a little be desired. Having said that, a bold run from Monsieur Noir in the previous race would boost his form profile. The betting close to race time will be informative.

Form: 25-38

Sheila's Showcase²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Charles Bishop| T: D J Coakley| OR: 77| D

5/1

Dead-heated in a decent maiden at Newbury last August but handed a stiff mark afterwards. Come up short in four runs so far this season and now looks a little high in the weights.

Form: 75-6054

Steeve^p1⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Levey| T: B R Millman| OR: 72| C

8/1

Tried in cheekpieces for the first time after a couple of poor efforts since returning from his winter break. Stiff test for the three-year-old on these terms.

Form: 6332-77

Forecasts

Posted (2/1), Strict Tempo (9/4), Sheila's Showcase (5/1), Phosphor (13/2), Steeve (8/1), Jungle Juice (10/1), John Betjeman (12/1), Kwela (25/1)

A chance is taken on PHOSPHOR stepping up to the plate and making the most of the weight he receives from Posted, who arrives in good form and looks a worthy alternative on these terms. The suggestion is still very lightly raced and the return to 7f will suit the colt ideally. Jungle Juice is consistent and would also be dangerous to underestimate despite being well held last time out. Strict Tempo has been given a chance at the weights and is another to monitor closely in the betting.
