Dambuster¹⁹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding

5/4

Promising type. Won on soft-ground Sandown debut in September. Remote last of 4 in a Newmarket Group 3 the following month but retains potential with his sights lowered on return having been gelded.

Form: 14-

(6)

Infatuator²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K Stott| T: A Watson

20/1

Little better than modest form when placed twice on AW last month and needs to find plenty of improvement now switching to turf.

Form: 23

(3)

Open Secret²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston

5/2

Fairly useful form when placed in AW novices at Newcastle and Wolverhampton just over 3 months apart. Capable of better and should have a big say here.

Form: 3-2

(4)

Stay In The Game²⁰⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn

10/3

Third in novice at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) and maiden at Haydock (1m, heavy) last autumn. Gelded and may go on to even better things this year.

Form: 33-

(1)

Tryfan²¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison

14/1

10/1, third of 5 in minor event at Newcastle (1¼m) on debut last autumn. Another in this line-up who is open to progress.

Form: 3-

(7)

Misty Time¹⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Harry Russell| T: M Walford

150/1

More one for handicaps judged on her 2 AW outings at Newcastle towards the end of 2023.

Forecasts

Dambuster (5/4), Open Secret (5/2), Stay In The Game (10/3), Spirit Of Acklam (5/1), Tryfan (14/1), Infatuator (20/1), Misty Time (150/1)

There's been plenty to like about OPEN SECRET's pair of AW efforts and he can make the most of the weight he receives from previous winner Dambuster now moving over to the grass. A few of the others also have the potential for better in an interesting novice.
