Tarjeeh⁴⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Saffie Osborne| T: Owen Burrows

11/8

Promising sort. Won 14-runner minor event at Newbury (7f, good, 7/2) on the second of his 2 starts as a juvenile. 15-month absence to overcome but otherwise appealing given his scope for improvement.

Form: 41-

(11)

Mazzorbo^h⁷²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Charles Bishop| T: A King

80/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving Dean Ivory when fourth of 7 in minor event (100/1) at Nottingham (10.2f, good to soft) 72 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps in due course.

Form: 07/4

(6)

Hiccups³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: John Berry

150/1

Once-raced maiden. Last of 8 in maiden at Pontefract (8f, good to soft, 150/1) on debut 30 days ago. Readily passed over.

Form: 8

(9)

Leading Lion¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: J & T Gosden

11/4

Promising type. Second of 8 in minor event at Newcastle (8f, 5/1) 15 days ago. Remains open to improvement for his top yard and should be on the premises.

Form: 72

(8)

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: A J Farragher⁽³⁾| T: W J Haggas| OR: 68| BF

12/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 5 in minor event (evens) at Beverley (9.9f, heavy) 31 days ago. Another for whom handicaps may present better opportunities. Engaged 5.05 Redcar Friday.

Form: 535

(5)

Running Star²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: H Palmer

11/2

Once-raced maiden. 22/1, third of 10 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f) on debut 23 days ago, not knocked about. Should have more to offer with that run under his belt.

Form: 3

(12)

Siempre Arturo^h1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Dylan Hogan| T: D & C Kubler

66/1

Outstrip gelding. Half-brother to 1m winner Glam Puss. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to useful 1½m winner (stayed 14.5f) Jeremiah. Wears hood on debut and probably best watched on this occasion.

Form:

(3)

Tribute^b1⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J Mitchell| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 75

12/1

Fair gelding. Sixth of 9 in maiden at Pontefract (8f, good to soft, 6/4) 83 days ago, slowly away. Blinkers on 1st time. Yard also saddles newcomer Meleki.

Form: 730746

(10)

Elladonna¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Callum Shepherd| T: J R Fanshawe

15/2

Promising type. Second of 10 in maiden (5/2) at Kempton (11f) 17 days ago, no match for winner. Should progress and likely to take a hand in the finish.

Form: 52

(4)

Looklikewemadeit⁸²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: D & C Kubler

150/1

Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 5 in maiden (66/1) at Ffos Las (12f, heavy) 82 days ago. Down in trip on debut for new yard and she's hard to warm to.

Form: 04

(1)

Meleki

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: R Coakley| T: S & E Crisford

20/1

40,000 gns yearling, Muhaarar filly. Dam smart winner up to 1m (including at 2 yrs). Yard can ready one first time out and she needs a close look in the betting.

Form:

(7)

Savannah Song¹⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Mollie Phillips⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll

250/1

Twice-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in minor event at this course (8.6f, 200/1). Off 171 days. First run for yard after leaving Julia Feilden and she looks set for another struggle.

Forecasts

Tarjeeh (11/8), Leading Lion (11/4), Running Star (11/2), Elladonna (15/2), Tribute (12/1), Lohengrin (12/1), Meleki (20/1), Siempre Arturo (66/1), Mazzorbo (80/1), Looklikewemadeit (150/1), Hiccups (150/1), Savannah Song (250/1)

The well-bred TARJEEH hasn't been seen out since landing a Newbury novice last July, but he looked very promising that day and remains capable of better. If fully-tuned up for this assignment, he will take plenty of stopping. Elladonna and Leading Lion both stepped up on their respective debut efforts when hitting the crossbar last time and rate the main dangers, in that order of preference, while Running Star is another likely improver who could have a role to play.
