Harvanna³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 85| D

8/11

Progressive filly last summer, defying a penalty at Yarmouth (5.2f) in good style. Shaped well making all-weather/handicap debut after 6 months off when fourth at this course (6f) on New Year's Day and there's every chance she will build on that back down at 5f.

Form: 311-4

Mini Magna¹⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 85| D

28/1

Two wins at Bath last summer. 9/1, faced competition for the lead when tenth of 11 in nursery at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 5 months ago. First run for yard after leaving Ed Dunlop (16,000 gns).

Balon D'or^p1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: H Palmer| OR: 83| D

5/2

Respectable fourth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 12/1) 19 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces on 1st time. More required to double his tally.

Form: 76043-4

Torvar^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Ben Robinson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 74| D

8/1

Relished the return to more positive tactics when winning 8-runner handicap (15/2) at Chelmsford City (5f) 18 days ago, forging clear. Hefty 9 lb rise to contend with but is on a roll at present so has to be respected.

Form: 53812-1

Bint Alfella³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: S A Gray| T: K A Ryan| OR: 71

12/1

Ran below the level of her first 2 starts kept to the minimum trip when sixth of 9 in maiden at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 5/1) 34 days ago. Makes handicap debut and may well prove a different proposition.

Form: 22-6

(4)

Zola Power^h,t⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: L Morris| T: M Appleby| OR: 68| D

22/1

Winner at Wolverhampton in January. 16/1, respectable third of 6 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 5 days ago, albeit once again a touch keener than ideal. Drop back to this trip should suit so he's not without hope.

Form: 279-193

Forecasts

Harvanna (8/11), Balon D'or (5/2), Torvar (8/1), Bint Alfella (12/1), Zola Power (22/1), Mini Magna (28/1)

A trappy sprint in which preference is for HARVANNA, who was progressive in a handful of starts on turf last year and shaped very well on return/handicap debut when fourth here over 6f on New Year's Day. She can get the better of Torvar, who ran out an impressive winner at Chelmsford last month, with Bint Alfella rounding off the shortlist now heading down the handicap route.
