Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: G Lee| T: I Jardine

Alhambra Palace¹⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D C Costello| T: W J Haggas

13/2

Showed a bit in 2 outings over 1m at the end of 2022. From a leading stable and likely has a bigger performance in him before long.

Form: 07-

Flying Frontier⁷⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: C Lee| T: J Tate

10/3

Promising sort. 9/1, chased home the useful Yaanaas on his 1m Newcastle debut 76 days ago. Should improve and probably the one to beat.

Form: 2

(1)

Golden Move²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey

4/1

Twice-raced colt. Left last autumn's debut behind when second of 7 in maiden at Ayr (1m, good, 3/1) 24 days ago, with the reopposing Iron Lion just behind in third. Potential for better again.

Form: 6-2

(2)

Iron Lion²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara

4/1

15/2, in need of experience and shaped promisingly when third of 7 in maiden (15/2) at Ayr (1m, good) on debut 24 days ago, coming from further back than ideal and finishing only a ½ length behind the reopposing Golden Move. Open to progress.

Form: 3

(9)

Rampant²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rowan Scott| T: Ewan Whillans

66/1

28/1, fair form when third of 8 in maiden at Newcastle (12.4f, 28/1) on debut 27 days ago, best work finish. Remains to be seen whether this much shorter trip plays to his strengths.

Form: 3

The Maga King

Mambo Sunset

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: P J McDonald| T: James Horton

17/2

300,000 gns Sea The Stars filly. Sister to winner up to 1½m Fearless Warrior and half-sister to several winners, including winner up to 8.6f Via Serendipity. Interesting newcomer.

Form:

(11)

Therapist²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 78

5/2

Placed on all 4 starts, the latest when returning from 7 months off at Newmarket 4 weeks ago. Unlikely to be far away but possibly vulnerable for win purposes again.

Form: 232-3

Forecasts

Therapist (5/2), Flying Frontier (10/3), Iron Lion (4/1), Golden Move (4/1), Alhambra Palace (13/2), Mambo Sunset (17/2), Rampant (66/1), The Maga King (125/1), Sea Girt (150/1), The Darien Scheme (150/1), Carnival Times (200/1)

FLYING FRONTIER's debut form looks quite good so he's the suggestion. Iron Lion was a ½ length behind Golden Move at Ayr recently but David O'Meara's charge was green on that debut run and can turn the tables on his old rival and provide the chief threat. Andrew Balding's Therapist should also be thereabouts, while expensive purchase Mambo Sunset is a newcomer to keep an eye on in the betting.
