Bedouin Prince^h1¹⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: C Appleby| BF

7/4

Ghaiyyath colt who showed plenty of ability as he all but justified his considerable strength in the betting first time out at Kempton (8f) back in November, headed well inside final 1f. The third that day has won since and he's open to progress. Heads up in trip with a first-time hood applied.

Form: 2-

Believe In Success¹⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Kyle Strydom| T: D P Quinn

100/1

Make Believe gelding who looked badly in need of the experience when a well-beaten eighth of 12 in a back-end novice at Newbury last year. Has since left Michael Wigham and he'll be big outsider once again.

Form: 8-

Chambers¹⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J F Egan| T: D J S Ffrench Davis

66/1

Sent off a huge price but offered something to work on when fourth of 12 in novice at Bath (8f, soft) on debut in October. However, he went backwards from that effort back there (10.2f, heavy) 9 days later and hasn't been seen since.

Form: 44-

Jedhi Knight⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh| T: Jedd O'Keeffe

200/1

Little encouragement to glean from a couple of all-weather novices in recent weeks. Looks one for low-grade handicaps after this.

Form: 95

(9)

Kuredu King¹⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: J & T Gosden

28/1

300,000 gns yearling, Churchill colt who had excuses here on debut back in October but finished well held the following month at Newcastle (8f). Upped further in trip and also gelded but he looks a stable lesser light.

Form: 80-

(10)

Padre Bay^p1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D C Costello| T: C Appleby

25/1

Teofilo gelding who looked badly in need of the experience when third of 4 in novice at Wolverhampton (12.2f) on debut recently, the front pair already clear by the time he began to get the hang of things. First-time cheekpieces go on and he should have more to offer for his top yard.

Form: 3

Paratrooper²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke

14/1

Promise when runner-up in 5-runner novice at Wolverhampton (9.5f) on debut in February but failed to improve over 2f longer trip at Southwell later that month, still looking green under pressure. Handicaps after this may prove more his bag.

Form: 24

Square Necker

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Egan| T: R M Beckett

6/4

€160,000 yearling, Zarak colt. Brother to useful 1m-9.2f winner Titanium and half-brother to 7f-1m winner Skade and smart 12.5f-15f winner Presage Nocturne. Dam, 2-y-o 1m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 21.7f Simenon. Interesting debutant for powerful connections.

The Cursor¹⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Watson| T: A M Balding

9/2

400,000 gns yearling, Frankel colt who looked badly in need of the experience and never got involved when fifth of 7 in maiden at Newmarket (10f, soft) on debut in October. Clearly thought capable of better, it would be no surprise to see him prove a different proposition.

Form: 5-

(3)

Too Darn Seanie^b1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: A J Farragher| T: E A L Dunlop

40/1

Too Darn Hot gelding who showed ability despite proving very green when fifth of 8 in maiden at Chelmsford (10f) 3 weeks ago, hanging badly left in straight. No shock to see first-time blinkers applied and he's capable of better.

Form: 5

Forecasts

Square Necker (6/4), Bedouin Prince (7/4), The Cursor (9/2), Bouquet De Paris (12/1), Paratrooper (14/1), Singing In Paris (14/1), Padre Bay (25/1), Kuredu King (28/1), Too Darn Seanie (40/1), Chambers (66/1), Believe In Success (100/1), Jedhi Knight (200/1)

A host in with chances but the verdict goes to BEDOUIN PRINCE, who all but justified his considerable strength in the betting first time out at Kempton back in November and Charlie Appleby's colt is open to improvement immediately stepped up in trip. Debutant Square Necker ticks plenty of boxes on paper, so he heads up the dangers representing powerful connections, with Andrew Balding's pair Bouquet de Paris and The Cursor both fancied to improve on their initial efforts, too.
