Tasfeeq¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jim Crowley| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 83| D

13/8

Rangy colt who didn't need to reproduce his best form to run out an easy winner of a novice at Bath recently. Plenty more to come, so he warrants respect.

Form: 62-1

(4)

Headingley²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 83| D

5/2

Promising individual who has made all on both outings since a narrow debut defeat at Ayr last September. Something to spare in novice at Redcar recently, so another bold bid expected.

Form: 21-1

Clarendon Cross¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 82

5/1

Not fully exposed and did well in circumstances when sixth of 16 in handicap at Newbury on seasonal/handicap debut. Could be more to come but others look better treated.

Form: 374-6

(5)

Freak Out¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: M Crehan⁽⁵⁾| T: G Boughey| OR: 80

5/1

Signed off for Declan Carroll with a nursery win at Redcar last September and made highly encouraging debut for this yard when touched off there on reappearance. Could take another step forward.

Form: 8471-2

Marsabit¹³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: David Egan| T: H Morrison| OR: 69| D

9/1

Scored in nursery at Kempton in November and didn't get a clear run there next time, so embarks on a new campaign with some potential still intact.

Forecasts

Tasfeeq (13/8), Headingley (5/2), Freak Out (5/1), Clarendon Cross (5/1), Marsabit (9/1)

HEADINGLEY is a likeable, straightforward type with more improvement in the locker, so he could be a tough nut to crack under a positive ride in a 3-y-o handicap that looks competitive despite the numbers. Freak Out is a danger and Tasfeeq looks the sort to do well this year, so he's also strongly considered.
