Clovis Point

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: D M Simcock

100/1

Fastnet Rock colt. Dam winner up to 1¼m (2-y-o 1m winner) out of very smart winner up to 6f (2-y-o 5f winner) Fleeting Spirit. Market should point the way.

Franco Grasso¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: P W Chapple-Hyam

50/1

Frankel colt who showed plenty more than on debut when third in a 4-runner Yarmouth maiden (11.5f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Remains open to improvement, but others preferred here all the same.

Form: 63

(3)

Kemari^h1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: A Kirby| T: C Appleby

12/1

400,000 gns yearling. Dam, 10.3f-1½m winner who stayed 14.5f, half-sister to high-class winner up to 14.6f Milan. Hooded for this debut and Magical Land appears to be the stable first-string.

Magical Land¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: C Appleby| OR: 87| BF

15/8

Runner-up on each of his first 3 starts over 6f/7f and creditable third upped to 1m on recent handicap bow here. Claims back in maiden company, providing his stamina holds out over this new trip.

Form: 22-23

(7)

Mobarhin

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Dane O'Neill| T: C Hills

40/1

Muhaarar colt. Closely related to 7f winner Turaath. Dam 7f winner, fourth in Sun Chariot Stakes. Lots to like on paper and it will be interesting to see what the market has to say.

Movin Time¹⁸⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 88

4/6

170,000 gns yearling who shaped well when runner-up in a couple of 1m novice events at Newcastle torwards end of last year. Holds Group-race entries and this stiffer test will be in his favour.

Form: 22-

(9)

Night Of Dreams⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon

22/1

Clear signs of ability on sole 2-y-o start and again when upped to this trip on return at Lingfield (AW) in March. Still, sizeable step forward needed if he's to make it third time lucky here.

Form: 5-4

(5)

Punta Arenas¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Shepherd| T: George Scott

66/1

Showed benefit of initial run when third in a 13-runner Southwell novice (1m) last month. Likely to appreciate this step up in trip, but will be of greater interest when going down the handicap route.

Form: 43

(2)

Constanta

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Liam Jones| T: W J Haggas

40/1

Camelot filly. Half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Skardu and winner abroad by Yalaietanee. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner. Yard can certainly ready a newcomer and she needs a close look in the betting.

Forecasts

Movin Time (4/6), Magical Land (15/8), Kemari (12/1), Night Of Dreams (22/1), Constanta (40/1), Mobarhin (40/1), Franco Grasso (50/1), Punta Arenas (66/1), Clovis Point (100/1)

It's hard to resist the claims of MOVIN TIME, who chased home subsequent Group 2 winner Rebel's Romance on debut at Newcastle in October, and was second to Mithras (potentially useful at the very least) back there the following month. Roger Varian's charge will appreciate this step up in trip now switched to turf. Magical Land is next best ahead of newcomers Constanta and Mobarhin.
