Cherrytreeprincess¹⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Alex Jary⁽⁵⁾| T: B Rothwell

300/1

Heeraat filly. Dam ran twice on Flat/twice in bumpers. Last of 12 at Newcastle (6f, 200/1) on debut. Off 151 days. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 0

Arazzo

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Harry Charlton

5/1

Bated Breath gelding. Dam, 1½m-1¾m winner, closely related to smart French middle-distance performer Alkandora out of useful 2-y-o 1m winner Poplin. Interesting to see any market support.

Form:

(7)

Sant Alessio²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Cieren Fallon| T: D M Simcock| OR: 75

4/1

5/2, fifth of 8 in maiden at Chelmsford City (10f) on return 29 days ago, hampered. Bit disappointing there but this looks easier back down in trip on turf debut.

Form: 22-5

(5)

Smooth Transition¹⁷⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: George Wood| T: A Keatley

25/1

Fair form in AW novices in December, fourth of 14 at Chelmsford City (10f, 28/1) 176 days ago, having run of race. More needed now switched to turf on return.

Form: 44-

(8)

Sovereignlightcafe²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby

50/1

Twice-raced gelding. Eighth of 11 at Nottingham (8.3f, good, 100/1) 28 days ago, slowly away. Plenty of stamina in his pedigree and suspect there will be other days for him.

Form: 58

Thomas G

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: T Eaves| T: T D Barron

28/1

13,500 gns foal, 27,000 gns yearling, Territories gelding. Closely related to 2-y-o 1m winner Oh So Charming. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 1¼m-1½m winner Desert Icon. This isn't a strong race he starts out in.

Form:

(2)

Ebt's Guard¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Hart| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 82

4/7

Fairly useful colt. Remains a maiden after 9 Flat runs. 5/1, good second of 9 in handicap at Sandown (8f, soft) 15 days ago, doing well given he took time to settle with no cover early. The one to beat on form.

Form: 3246-32

(10)

Longhaired General²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: William Pyle⁽⁵⁾| T: Craig Lidster

12/1

Sent off huge odds but ran with credit when fourth of 12 at Redcar (7f, soft) on debut. Well beaten in tougher race at York 3 weeks ago. One for handicaps.

Form: 46

(4)

Tramell¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jack Gilligan| T: C Allen

100/1

26,000 gns yearling, Havana Gold filly. Half-sister to 6f winner Jack of Clubs. Fifth of 8 at Brighton (8f, good to soft, 50/1) on debut 17 days ago, not knocked about. Looks one for the longer term.

Form: 5

Forecasts

Ebt's Guard (4/7), Sant Alessio (4/1), Arazzo (5/1), Longhaired General (12/1), Smooth Transition (25/1), Mix De Gris (25/1), Thomas G (28/1), Sovereignlightcafe (50/1), Tramell (100/1), Cherrytreeprincess (300/1)

EBT'S GUARD has had plenty of chances but has returned with a couple of narrow defeats in 1m handicaps, shaping best at Sandown last time, and could be hard to beat if continuing the good work back in a maiden. Sant Alessio is usually well found in the betting and should have a race in him, while the two newcomers Thomas G and Arazzo are interesting.
