Government^v²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Cieren Fallon| T: H Palmer| OR: 76

7/4

Improved with each outing to date, relishing step up to 1m on back of being gelded/fitted with a visor as he landed a Southwell maiden last month. Should go well again now handicapping up in trip.

Form: 5-41

(4)

Aegis Power¹⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 74

11/4

Lightly-raced maiden. 7/2, best effort to date when second of 6 in nursery at Newmarket (10f) in October, keeping on well but edged out final 50 yds. Rates the type to progress further this term.

Form: 9332-

Illuminated²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 72

9/4

Thrice-raced maiden. 13/2, 1¾ lengths second of 11 to Government in maiden at Southwell (8.1f) 28 days ago. 4 lb better off with that rival on handicap bow and fancied to feature.

Form: 9-32

(1)

Graffiti²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: George Bass⁽⁵⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 69

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, last of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 20 days ago, held up and never a threat. May sharpen up for that but his mark doesn't look particularly generous.

Form: 654-5

(5)

Young Winston^h¹⁰⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Joanna Mason⁽³⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 69

10/1

Winner at Ripon in September. Fifth of 8 in nursery at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 8/1) 87 days ago, never landing a blow. Eased in grade now starting out for another new yard.

Form: 761645-

Thermometer¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 63

28/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, ran below pick of form when fourth of 6 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 17 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Others make more appeal stepping back up in trip.

Form: 9-544

Forecasts

Government (7/4), Illuminated (9/4), Aegis Power (11/4), Young Winston (10/1), Graffiti (20/1), Thermometer (28/1)

GOVERNMENT and Illuminated finished 1-2 in a Southwell maiden (1m) on their latest starts respectively 4 weeks ago and may be the pair to focus on. The former concedes 4 lb to the latter on this occasion but was nicely on top at the line that day and may well be up to confirming the placings. The returning Aegis Power can also do better this term, particularly over further.
