Cold Front³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: W J Haggas| OR: 88| BF

4/6

From an excellent family, and has progressed with each run when runner-up in maidens at up to this trip. Repeat of latest neck second of 11 to Man of Promise at Yarmouth should suffice here.

Form: 2-22

(7)

Future King

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S bin Suroor

7/4

By Dark Angel out of a winning half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Flaming Spear. A 300,000 gns purchase, and one to note carefully on the betting now starting out.

Form:

(1)

Magic Voice²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby

25/1

Half-brother to several winners but failed to get involved on debut. Improved when 5½L fourth of 12 to Streak Lightning in a novice at Ripon last time, but another jump forward required to be competitive here.

Form: 74

(9)

Prince Of Tides²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: C Fellowes

80/1

€120,000 half-brother to useful winner at up to 1m Baby Foot. Well held on his first outing here last month, and didn't fare much better when seventh of 11 at Newmarket last time. Looks one for the longer term.

Form: 07

(4)

Raaed¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Dane O'Neill| T: B J Meehan

5/1

Dark Angel gedling who fetched £90,000 as a yearling. Needed the experience, but shaped very well when ¾L third of 10 to Zezenia over 7f here a fortnight ago. Sure to improve.

Form: 3

(8)

Feisty Gal²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: George Wood| T: E A L Dunlop

100/1

Shaped better than on debut, and not punished when fifth of 10 to Rubia Bella in a 6f novice at Wolverhampton last time. Will be of more interest when handicapping.

Form: 05

(3)

Filo's Flyer²⁹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe

50/1

Out of a half-sister to very smart 6f/7f winner King's Apostle. Didn't show much despite knowing her job on sole start for Archie Watson last year, but harsh to judge her prematurely, and likely to do better in time.

Form: 9-

(5)

Greek Oasis²⁸⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: C F Wall

66/1

Better effort as a juvenile when 8L eighth of 16 to Spring of Love in a 7f maiden at Newmarket in October. One of a number who needs this run for a handicap mark, and likely to be all the better for it.

Form: 08-

(6)

Quiet Night¹⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: W Buick| T: C Hills

80/1

Green when down the field at Newcastle on both starts to date. Returning from a break here, and while she should improve, handicaps beckon after this final qualifying run.

Form: 0-8

Forecasts

Cold Front (4/6), Future King (7/4), Raaed (5/1), Magic Voice (25/1), Filo's Flyer (50/1), Greek Oasis (66/1), Prince Of Tides (80/1), Quiet Night (80/1), Feisty Gal (100/1)

COLD FRONT has been expensive to follow, but he's improved a little with each run, and his latest second to Man of Promise at Yarmouth is much the best piece of form on offer. A repeat of that should see him off the mark, although Raaed will not let him have things all his own way, and appeals as best of the rest ahead of newcomer Future King.
