Marama³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| D

10/11

Brushed off an 11-month absence when off the mark in 5-runner novice at Chester (10.3f, soft) 31 days ago, easily. Open to further improvement and looks up to defying a penalty.

Form: 2U-1

(1)

Cadarn^t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey

22/1

Magna Grecia. Half-brother to several winners, including winner up to 1¼m Killybegs Warrior and unreliable winner up to 8.3f (stayed 10.5f) Ventura Knight, both useful: dam sprint maiden. Shaped as if better for the run when fourth of 13 in a junior bumper on debut 14 days ago. Tongue tied.

King Of Lightning¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Rowan Scott| T: G Tutty

50/1

Went backwards from debut when a well-held fourth of 5 in novice at this course (8f) 18 days ago. Up in trip.

Form: 24

(4)

Muhib³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P J McDonald| T: J & T Gosden

28/1

Has taken a while to make it to the track and showed only greenness when twelfth of 14 in novice at Windsor (8.1f, good) on debut 36 days ago. Up in trip.

Form: 0

(5)

Stone Forest⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽³⁾| T: J Butler

18/1

Proved very green when last of 7 in novice at Leicester (7f, heavy, 16/1) on debut 7 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 7

(3)

Sword^p²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 82

15/8

Kingman colt who is proving expensive to follow and didn't go about things in a particularly likeable manner when second of 8 in novice at Southwell (8.1f, 2/1) 26 days ago, no match for winner. Up in trip.

Form: 4-37262

(2)

Warm Response¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Harry Davies| T: S & E Crisford

15/2

Showed plenty to work on when third of 11 in novice at Southwell (8.1f) on debut 17 days ago. Up in trip and sure to improve.

Form: 3

(8)

Saxon Star²⁹

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

100/1

Just modest form in bumpers and looks up against it on Flat debut.

Form:

(6)

Krissy²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J Fanning| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

100/1

Showed definite signs of promise on debut at Carlisle but finished a well-beaten last of 6 at Ripon 24 days ago.

Form: 76

Forecasts

Marama (10/11), Sword (15/8), Warm Response (15/2), Stone Forest (18/1), Cadarn (22/1), Muhib (28/1), King Of Lightning (50/1), Saxon Star (100/1), Krissy (100/1)

MARAMA got off the mark in impressive fashion at Chester last month and is surely up to defying a penalty on that evidence, especially with further improvement on the cards. Sword is proving expensive to follow, so Warm Response, who showed plenty to work on his rather belated debut at Southwell recently, is feared most.
