Forus¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: C Lee| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 65

15/2

Breakthrough win at Chelmsford (7f) in October and left Jamie Osborne afterwards; only 3lb higher on stable debut at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm; 18-1) this month when running as the market suggested but may strip fitter here.

Form: 48601-5

King's Charisma²⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 65

7/2

Improved in novice outings last year, placing over 7f at Thirsk on third start; didn't seem to handle heavy ground on h'cap debut at Nottingham over extended-mile on final start. Given 3lb relief now and should be more to offer.

Form: 5435-

Take That²⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Barry McHugh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 64

16/1

Good fourth in a small field 1m maiden at Newcastle in September but finished well held over the same C&D the following month. Worth a check in the market on handicap debut having been gelded since his latest effort.

Form: 748-

Handsome Yank^t1¹²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Phil Dennis| T: I Furtado| OR: 64| BF

12/1

Improved once switched to low-grade handicaps on the AW early this year, twice going close over this trip at Chelmsford and Lingfield. Tongue-tie reached for now and capable of challenging despite higher mark in this sphere.

Form: 080-342

(6)

Philosophical¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: G Lee| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 63

9/2

Not many positives in three starts last year, including here over 7f, and similar tale on reappearance/h'cap bow at Haydock this month when upped to this trip. Was 50-1 there in much stronger race; so likely to find this more in his wheelhouse.

Form: 447-8

(7)

Ampney Red¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 61

14/1

Formerly with Hughie Morrison, Mukhadram filly shaped with plenty promise on stable bow at Newcastle this month as she tackled this trip for the first time. Turf runs previously were on soft/heavy so chance she will do much better now.

Form: 506-35

(13)

Manap¹²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: David Egan| T: A Watson| OR: 61

28/1

Keen going sort posted best effort when runner-up over this trip at Chelmsford in February; his only placed attempt in six starts. Faded next time at Lingfield and still has some convincing to do despite yard being in flying form right now.

Form: 69-7628

(5)

Dorset Blue¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: M Walford| OR: 60

16/1

Son of Canford Cliffs was gelded having left Richard Hannon after flattering to deceive on turf last season; easy to back on stable bow at Newcastle recently and shaped as if needing the workout.

Form: 37446-7

(14)

Lawaa^b1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 60

20/1

Behind a few of these on return to action at Newcastle (1m2f, AW; 9-1) recently despite being shorter in the betting. Last year's turf form isn't inspiring and despite sliding mark, really needs to perk up for the addition of blinkers.

Form: 30548-8

Al Jawhra²⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 58

25/1

Holy Roman Emperor filly cost €45,000 as a two-year-old; she didn't beat much in three turf starts in the autumn but breeding suggests she'll come into her own over middle-distances and so merits a betting check on seasonal bow.

Form: 648-

Marie's Gem¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 58

7/1

Cost €80,000 but few signs of repaying that outlay in four starts to date; did travel better at Lingfield on h'cap debut over a mile this month and could be an improver up in trip back on turf as yard's runners typically better when stretched out.

Form: 409-9

(11)

Carriesmatic²⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: B A Curtis| T: T D Barron| OR: 56

8/1

Unplaced in five starts last year but the filly produced her best when upped to a mile here in September on final run; will need to improve again on return going up in distance. Ben Curtis does well for this yard so worth some attention.

Forecasts

King's Charisma (7/2), Philosophical (9/2), Cold Light Of Day (11/2), Marie's Gem (7/1), Forus (15/2), Carriesmatic (8/1), Quantum Dawn (10/1), Handsome Yank (12/1), Ampney Red (14/1), Dorset Blue (16/1), Take That (16/1), Lawaa (20/1), Al Jawhra (25/1), Manap (28/1)

The filly AMPNEY RED showed up well for a long way on first start for this yard when close-up fifth at Newcastle on the all-weather early in the month having forced the running. Her previous experiences on turf have come on testing ground and, having run well either side of changing stables; she may make take advantage of a 1lb lower turf rating to get on the board now. The main dangers could be Cold Light Of Day and Handsome Yank, while Philosophical offered something to work with in a far stronger Haydock race a fortnight ago and could be one for place money.
