(6)

Double Mocha^h³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Davies| T: H Palmer| OR: 60

16/1

Only modest form at best in a trio of races so far, fifth of 7 in maiden (20/1) at Kempton (6f) 36 days ago. However, he could yet do better as he goes handicapping (has been gelded).

Form: 755

(2)

Bust A Moon¹²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Rossa Ryan| T: P D Evans| OR: 59

15/8

With headgear left off, ran to similar level as previously when fourth of 11 on nursery debut at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 8/1) in November. Could go well as he makes first run since leaving Eve Johnson Houghton.

Form: 5684-

(4)

Inconspicuous^p³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Michael Keady| OR: 59| D

5/1

Making only third start for current yard, quickly back on track when 2 lengths fourth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 12/1) 37 days ago, despite having done too much too soon. Major player.

Form: 790-474

(3)

Cheeky Stanley²⁰⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P Cosgrave| T: George Baker| OR: 56

7/2

In first-time hood (now discarded), failed to build on previous effort when last of 4 in maiden at Brighton (5.3f, good, 9/4) when last seen in September. Off 6 months ahead of his handicap debut.

Form: 564-

(8)

Rock Master^p1¹³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ben Sanderson⁽³⁾| T: S Woods| OR: 56

7/2

Made the frame on third start in novices, before racing closer to the pace than ideal when seventh of 12 in nursery (4/1) at Newcastle (6f) in November (gelded since). Enters calculations with cheekpieces on 1st time.

Form: 7747-

(5)

Rhodes Royce³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: K Shoemark| T: K P De Foy| OR: 52

33/1

Hasn't offered much in 3 starts to date, always behind when eighth of 9 in novice (125/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) a month ago. Handicaps may just see her in a better light, though.

Form: 678

(1)

She's A Dark Horse¹⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: K T O'Neill| T: D K Ivory| OR: 45

10/1

Showed a bit more than previously when 3¼ lengths fifth of 13 in nursery (22/1) at this C&D in October. Further improvement required on return from 5 months off.

Form: 070555-

(7)

My Boy Harry¹⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: William Cox| T: J & S Best| OR: 45

40/1

Finished down the field in 3 outings last year, last of 8 in novice at Yarmouth (5.2f, soft, 200/1) in October (has been gelded since). First run for yard after leaving Darryll Holland. Not dismissed on his handicap bow.

Form: 008-

Forecasts

Bust A Moon (15/8), Cheeky Stanley (7/2), Rock Master (7/2), Inconspicuous (5/1), She's A Dark Horse (10/1), Double Mocha (16/1), Rhodes Royce (33/1), My Boy Harry (40/1)

This could go the way of INCONSPICUOUS, who soon left behind a lesser effort when fourth at Wolverhampton last month, doing well to finish as close as he did having set a decent pace. He can build on that and double his tally, with Bust A Moon feared most as he drops back in trip starting off for David Evans, ahead of Rock Master.
