Echo Point¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 88

4/6

Kempton debut winner in February who progressed again when finishing runner-up on handicap debut at this track (10f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Open to further improvement upped in trip.

Form: 122

(2)

Parachute²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: E Walker| OR: 84| BF

3/1

Promising individual who was unable to justify favouritism on handicap debut when third at Redcar on return just under 3 weeks ago, barely enough of a test. Better to come upped in trip.

Form: 821-3

Defined^b1³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 84| BF| D

4/1

Eaily off the mark at the sixth attempt at Kempton in February and was only beaten by a more progressive sort on his handicap bow at Newcastle last month. Blinkers go on for his turf debut.

Forecasts

Echo Point (4/6), Annandale (9/4), Parachute (3/1), Defined (4/1)

Impossible to rule any of the quartet out but preference is for Mark Johnston's progressive ANNANDALE, who went one better than on reappearance to score at Nottingham last month and this step up in trip could bring out the necessary improvement required to follow up. Echo Point narrowly shades the vote for the forecast spot ahead of Parachute.
