Molinari²⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: M Dwyer| T: W R Muir| OR: 65

9/2

Yard had plenty of 3yo winners here over the last five years so a decent display would not surprise on handicap bow now stepping up from a mile to 1m4f having hinted at ability a couple of times as a juvenile.

Isayalittleprayer²²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S W Kelly| T: G & J Moore| OR: 65

9/1

Three runs at 7f-1m last term but bloodlines have always suggested that middle distances would be more her bag. Yard capable of readying one after a break so a glance at the market would be a good idea.

Glorious Return¹⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J G Portman| OR: 65

40/1

Failed to cut too much in three starts so far and was gelded after second outing. Step up in trip mnay help the cause on handicap bow but others make rather more appeal.

Billhilly¹⁰⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 65

11/2

Sea The Stars colt who showed little first two outings but did better last run when close fourth here over a mile, staying on nicely inside last. Extra 4f on handicap debut looks right and may be right there where it matters most.

Sure I'm Your Man¹⁹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Adam J McNamara| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 65

10/1

Bought for 85,000 euros as a yearling, this Sea The Moon gelding showed some ability on the second of his three runs to date but has been gelded since disappointing at Chelmsford in November. May be different proposition upped in trip.

Form:

Ragtime Sally¹⁹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: H J L Dunlop| OR: 64

33/1

Iffraaj filly who was not disgraced on two of her three runs last year but doesn't look obviously suited on pedigree to this step up to middle distances. Interesting to see if she finds any favour in the pre-race market.

Form:

(8)

Warranty⁸⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Hart| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 64

15/2

Gelded son of Derby winner Authorized but hasn't shown too much in the the way of worthwhile form in three runs so far. Handicap debut but much more needed if he is to land the spoils.

Form:

(3)

Thunder King²²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 64

33/1

Three runs in turf maidens last term on easy ground so faces very different challenge on seasonal return on AW debut and over 1m4f. May do better this campaign and not a forlorn hope by any means.

Form:

(9)

Single²⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Nicola Currie| T: M R Channon| OR: 64

14/1

Third at both Goodwood and Kempton over 1m last summer, beaten favourite on both occasions. That form hasn't worked out particularly well and may find a few too good once again up in trip on handicap debut.

Form:

(2)

Thai Power²³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding| OR: 61

9/4

Well related 425,000gns Kingman colt hails from yard already going well following the return to action. Didn't look anything special in two starts last season in mile turf maidens but may do better on the AW starting from a lowly mark.

Form:

(5)

Sir I'll Chance It¹¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Dane O'Neill| T: A W Carroll| OR: 60| C

18/1

Very modest form in four starts in Ireland for Jessica Harrington but won on second start for current yard when landing 1m2f h'cap off 4lb lower mark here last time out in February. Shapes as though will stay extra 2f.

Forecasts

Thai Power (9/4), Sophar Sogood (7/2), Molinari (9/2), Billhilly (11/2), Warranty (15/2), Isayalittleprayer (9/1), Sure I'm Your Man (10/1), Single (14/1), Sir I'll Chance It (18/1), Ragtime Sally (33/1), Thunder King (33/1), Glorious Return (40/1)

With so many handicap debutants here this race looks ripe for a well placed gamble to be landed so the market may well be worth noting. BILLHILLY steps up 4f from last term but looks the type to do better in handicaps at this trip and is taken to make a winning start to the campaign. Sure I'm Your Man and Thai Power both showed little last season but are also expected to do better now tackling this trip and grade, while any interest in Ragtime Sally or Thunder King would be of note. Course 1m2f scorer Sir I'll Chance It is also respected.
