Cotai Star²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Beasley| T: A Watson| OR: 74

5/1

Thrice-raced gelding. 40/1, stepped up on previous efforts when second of 10 in minor event at Chelmsford (10f) 25 days ago, suited by increase in trip. A repeat should see him in the mix again.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: C & M Johnston

11/10

Promising type. 16/1, third of 13 in minor event on debut at Kempton (1m) in December, staying on to be nearest at the finish. Step up to 1¼m promises to suit and obvious claims with improvement expected.

18/1

Thrice-raced gelding. 15/2, ninth of 15 in minor event at this course (6f, good to soft) in October, off the bridle long way out. Handicaps may be more his bag moving forward.

13/8

Lightly-raced filly. 9/2, matched previous best when third of 10 in minor event at Chelmsford (10f) 25 days ago, just failing. Visor reached for now and she can be expected to feature in receipt of weight all round.

Form: 220-3

Forecasts

Knightswood (11/10), Bellstreet Bridie (13/8), Cotai Star (5/1), Red Astaire (18/1), Spirit Of Bowland (150/1)

KNIGHTSWOOD displayed plenty of promise when third in a Kempton novice (1m) on debut during the winter and with progress anticipated now stepping up in trip, he gets the nod to make it second time lucky. Bellstreet Bridie and Cotai Star rate next best in that order.
