Giovanni Tiepolo^h1¹²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: H Candy| OR: 64

5/1

Pulled too hard when 2¾L seventh of 10 on handicap bow at Kempton in February but had previously shown promise in 7f novice event at the same venue. Should have more to offer hooded first time.

Form: 76-37

Good Earth²⁰³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Nicola Currie| T: J A Osborne| OR: 73

7/2

Seven runs now and not exactly progressing. Has shown plenty promise however and perhaps latest Southwell run in November is best forgotten. Previous turf run is best form on offer.

Surrey Flame¹⁸⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Charles Bishop| T: J Tuite

50/1

Son of Teofilo bought for €45,000 at the breeze-up sales last spring, big prices and down the field in novice contests over C&D and at Kempton (6f) in December. Needs to have sharpened his act during the break.

Form: 89-

Diligent Lady

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M J Attwater

14/1

Due Diligence half-sister to several sprint winners, including useful pair The Cruising Lord and Lord Avon. Dam fairly useful 5f winner; makes solid enough appeal on paper and should have something to offer.

Indian Star¹⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J J Bridger

200/1

Indian Haven filly. Half-sister to two winners up to 1m. Sent off 150-1 on debut at Kempton over 7f in January and trailed home at the rear. Watching brief for now.

Jaaneh²⁷⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jim Crowley| T: W J Haggas

7/4

Dubawi filly, well held in two turf runs last year over 6f at Yarmouth (firm) and Haydock (soft). Needs to offer plenty more to get in the mix on AW bow.

Form: 69-

Smokey⁹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: C Wallis

50/1

Ran as 50-1 SP suggested on debut in a Wolverhampton novice over 6f in March. May be one for the longer term.

Form: 8

Forecasts

GOOD EARTH was hardly progressive last season but did show ability in seven starts. The Acclamation gelding was second in a 6f Pontefract maiden on penultimate start and a subsequent Southwell run is best forgotten. If getting away in the lead Nicola Currie's mount might be hard to peg back on Polytrack bow having this second crack at the minimum trip (unable to make running last time). Well-bred newcomer Breakfast Club must be respected, particularly if the market speaks strongly. Fellow debutante Diligent Lady needs a look while Jaaneh shouldn't be long in leaving her juvenile form behind.
