Forever Forward^p1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: D A Jacob| T: P & M Bowen

14/1

Fairly useful maiden on the Flat. In need of the experience jumping-wise over hurdles both starts and could be a longer-term project. Cheekpieces on first time.

Form: 25

Jack Kennedy¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: C J Todd⁽³⁾| T: K Frost

40/1

Well-bred fair maiden on Flat (best effort at 1¼m), last of 6 on handicap debut final run for John & Thady Gosden. Dropped away on hurdles bow 10 days ago.

Form: 5

Painless Potter²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King

6/5

Consistent operator on the Flat. Dam is out of a useful hurdler and promising start over timber when third of 4 at Kempton 24 days ago, reportedly losing a shoe. Looks the one to beat.

Form: 3

Form:

The Guvnor¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: J M Quinlan| T: H Whittington

8/1

Closely related to fair hurdler Imperial Choice (2m-2¼m winner). Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1¾m) and offered something to work on at Ffos Las, finding the test on heavy ground too much.

Form: 5

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: Lee Edwards| T: J Groucott

100/1

Dam half-sister to French 17f chase winner Endless Ocean. Fair maiden on Flat, stays 1m, down the field in handicap last time for Tom Dascombe.

Forecasts

Painless Potter (6/5), Saint Segal (3/1), Book of Secrets (7/2), The Guvnor (8/1), The Bravest (12/1), Forever Forward (14/1), Jack Kennedy (40/1), Tanglewood Tales (50/1), Rattling Rosie (100/1)

PAINLESS POTTER offered plenty to work on when third starting out over hurdles at Kempton and, with improvement on the cards, he ought to take some stopping. Book of Secrets is sure to be well prepared for this new discipline and has to be feared.
