Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P J Dobbs| T: W J Haggas

12/1

Kingman colt. Half-brother to useful winner up to 1½m Atty Persse. Dam 1m-1¼m winner who stayed 1½m. Highly respected on debut.

General Lee¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: P & O Cole

8/1

Lope De Vega colt who has finished runner-up on both starts to date and, given the way he saw things out when narrowly denied at Goodwood, he should be well suited by the extra distance. Big player.

Form: 2-2

Manobo

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

5/1

Sea The Stars gelding. Half-brother to smart 2-y-o 1m winner Turgenev. Dam winner up to 10.4f (2-y-o 1m winner). Definite player.

Mojo Star²⁰³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon

1/1

Cost 220,000 gns yearling and offered plenty to work on when second in the mud at this course 6 months ago. That form looks solid and the longer trip should suit.

Navegaon Gate^t1²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jim Crowley| T: E Walker

14/1

Promise on both starts to date but he'll be more interest once handicapping. Tried in a first-time tongue strap.

Form: 4-5

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: N Mackay| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 84| BF

4/1

Highly encouraging debut at Wolverhampton last October, then narrowly denied at Chelmsford a month later. Type to do better this term, so not ruled out after 6 months off.

Forecasts

Mojo Star (1/1), Zagato (4/1), Manobo (5/1), Diavolo (5/1), General Lee (8/1), Candleford (12/1), Navegaon Gate (14/1), Jumby Breeze (16/1)

GENERAL LEE has already achieved a good level of form in finishing runner-up on both starts to date, so he looks to hold strong claims, while Mojo Star needs considering 6 months on from his promising debut at this track.
