Extrication³⁰¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: William Cox| T: R A Teal

40/1

10/1, fair form when sixth of 12 in novice at this course (7f) on debut for Roger Varian last summer. Off 10 months ahead of return for new trainer. The betting should guide.

Form: 6-

(1)

Hill Spirit²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson

33/1

Fair form in bumpers/over hurdles this winter. Each-way claims switching to the Flat.

Form:

Brioni¹⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A King

4/6

Promising individual, stepping up on debut when close second over C&D in November. Very much the standard setter here and likely capable of even better. Hard to beat.

Form: 32-

(2)

Card Shark⁸²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: J R Boyle

66/1

7/2, seventh of 14 in maiden (7/2) at Dundalk (1m) on debut 82 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Johnny Murtagh.

Form: 7

Great Chieftain²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Billy Loughnane| T: P & O Cole

13/2

Fair form. 11/2, third of 8 in novice at Wolverhampton (7f) 25 days ago.

Form: 5-3

(5)

Lone Piper

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover

10/1

Kingman gelding. Half-brother to 11.6f winner Three Priests and winner up to 1m Five Towns. Dam, US 1m-11f (Grade 3) winner, half-sister to useful 12.5f winner Iltemas. The betting should help guide to expectations.

Form:

(3)

Not Me¹⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Ferguson

4/1

Twice-raced colt. Fair form when fourth on Newbury debut and possibly unsuited by softer ground when failing to build on that at Nottingham. Retains potential back from 6 months off.

Form: 45-

(8)

Spanish Vega¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: K P De Foy

125/1

Twice-raced gelding. Sixth of 11 in maiden at Southwell (1m, 12/1) 13 days ago. Likely more one for handicaps after this.

Form: 9-6

(10)

Toronto Raptor¹⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: David Egan| T: M L W Bell

22/1

Modest form when seventh in 2 outings (turf/AW) last autumn. Plenty of improvement will be needed.

Form: 77-

(7)

Salamanca City¹⁷⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Callum Shepherd| T: J R Fanshawe

33/1

Some promise when fourth on 7f Kempton debut in September but only seventh at Southwell 4 weeks later.

Form: 47-

Jayyash²⁰

Weight: 9-1| Age: 3

T: J & T Gosden J: James Doyle

Forecasts

Brioni (4/6), Jayyash (7/4), Not Me (4/1), Great Chieftain (13/2), Lone Piper (10/1), Toronto Raptor (22/1), Salamanca City (33/1), Hill Spirit (33/1), Extrication (40/1), Card Shark (66/1), Spanish Vega (125/1)

BRIONI looks a useful prospect and should take plenty of stopping on his return to action. Jayyash was beaten at short odds on his Southwell reappearance but that betting strength suggests he's well regarded by the Gosden stable and he's second choice ahead of James Ferguson's Not Me.
