Catena^p³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 55

15/2

Beverley novice winner (at 7.4f) for Craig Lidster last term but not built on that subsequently, including in 2 starts for new yard late last year. Takes a marked step up in trip now and her mark is easing all the time.

Northgate³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 55

20/1

Dutch Art colt. Minor promise (granted run of the race) on second of 3 starts in AW novice/maidens at up to 1m during second half of last year. Switch to handicaps rates a plus at least if longer trip brings about improvement.

Form: 779-

Modern Verse²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Tom Marquand| T: D M Simcock| OR: 54

9/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 100/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, thirteenth of 14 in nursery at Kempton (8f) 22 days ago. Significantly up in trip now and booking of Marquand catches the eye. One to note in the betting.

Rubio De Oro^b,t⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: M Botti| OR: 54

10/1

Showed little in trio of quick-fire maiden/novice events and fared no better (in first-time blinkers) when eighth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 8 days ago. Another taking a marked step up in trip now.

Form: 000-8

Rising Rhoesa¹⁰⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁷⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 50

50/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 14/1, seventh of 8 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f). Off 107 days. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut.

Form: 757-

Bradman^p⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rossa Ryan| T: C Fellowes| OR: 49

4/11

Not without promise in trio of AW handicaps at around 1m late last year and not seen to best effect in steadily-run affair (also operating from out of weights) when close-up last of 4 over 11f here 6 days ago. Serious claims with Rossa Ryan up.

Form: 57446-4

(4)

Tres Chic²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Billy Loughnane| T: J S Moore| OR: 47

16/1

Winner at Leicester in October. Twelfth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 22 days ago, weakening 2f out. Significantly up in trip.

Forecasts

Bradman (4/11), Catena (15/2), Modern Verse (9/1), Rubio De Oro (10/1), Tres Chic (16/1), Northgate (20/1), Rising Rhoesa (50/1)

BRADMAN offered definite signs he's capable of defying his lowly mark in handicaps late last year and, having not been seen to best effect over 11f here 6 days ago, he's fancied to come out on top operating from his correct mark this time. Catena and Northgate may emerge next best.
