1/1

7/2, much improved when winning 7-runner event on handicap debut at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 9 days ago, leading over 2f out and staying on well. Carries penalty. Makes tapeta debut. Will be suited by 1½m and is likely to progress further.

Form: 999-1

Bella Grazia²⁰⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 58

5/1

Soundly beaten at huge prices over 6f in maidens/novice last year. Makes handicap debut and should do much better now stepping up markedly in distance.

Form: 8859-

Publicity^v²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Paddy Bradley| T: J Butler| OR: 57| D

6/1

Got off the mark on his first start at the trip in 7-runner handicap (17/2) at Lingfield (12f, AW) just over 3 weeks ago, leading near line. Visor reapplied and he should go well on the back of a 3 lb rise.

Form: 803-731

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Minty Bloss⁽⁷⁾| T: J Ferguson| OR: 56| CD

8/1

C&D winner in February. 9/2, found things tougher in a deeper race when fifth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 32 days ago. Likely she'll find a couple too strong.

Forecasts

Arch Legend (1/1), Bella Grazia (5/1), Rubio De Oro (11/2), Publicity (6/1), Dibble Dabble (8/1)

ARCH LEGEND is very much a 3-y-o type and duly improved to make a winning return/handicap debut at Windsor last week. With further improvement on the cards, he's taken to follow up at the expense of Bella Grazia, who was soundly beaten at huge prices over 6f as a 2-y-o but should be capable of much better now handicapping at a more suitable trip. Publicity got off the mark at Lingfield last month and he can fill out third.
