Callianassa²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: P Mulrennan| T: B Ellison| OR: 72

8/1

Remains a maiden after 24 starts but she's actually shown improvement in handicaps on AW lately and ought to be in the shake-up here.

Form: 24-4242

(5)

College Fund

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: O McSweeney⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey

11/1

€170,000 Wootton Bassett colt. Half-brother to useful 7f winner Betterdaysrcoming and 1½m winner Breathless Spirit. Would enter the reckoning if the betting speaks in his favour on debut.

Form:

(11)

Frankini^h¹⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: P J McDonald| T: A M Balding

10/11

Fairly useful form when reaching the frame in 7f maidens at Ascot and Newmarket last September. Probably the one to beat on return to action.

Form: 43-

(8)

Golden Harmony¹⁸⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Faye McManoman| T: N Tinkler

250/1

Unlikely to be of interest until handicapping judged on his 2 runs last year.

Form: 78-

Hurricane Bea²⁸⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: William Pyle⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Tracy Waggott

200/1

40/1, last of 9 in novice at Redcar (6f, good to firm, 40/1) on debut last June. Absent since.

Form: 9-

(3)

La Botte¹⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: George Wood| T: Harry Eustace

13/8

Promising type. 50/1, third of 12 in novice at Kempton (7f) on debut, nearest finish. Off 164 days. Should progress.

Form: 3-

(12)

Lights Go Down

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Lewis Chalkley⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby

200/1

Postponed gelding. Dam unraced sister to smart 1¼m-1½m winner (stayed 1¾m) Havana Cooler. Best watched on debut unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

Form:

(2)

Obito^h1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara

14/1

Cost 150,000 gns at last year's breeze-ups. Blue Point gelding. Half-brother to 8.6f winner Timespan. Dam, 8.6f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 11f Timepiece. Wears hood. Interesting newcomer under Tudhope.

Promise Time¹⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: N Tinkler

250/1

Big prices and down the field in 2 runs last autumn.

Form: 08-

Grizzieblanca⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: S A Gray| T: K R Burke

150/1

22/1, held back by inexperience when eighth of 9 in novice at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on debut 7 days ago. Needs to have come on a lot in a short space of time.

Form: 8

(7)

Queen's Palace⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Harrison Shaw| T: B Smart

250/1

9/1, seventh of 12 in maiden at this course (5f) on debut 63 days ago, merely closing up late. Significantly up in trip.

Well beaten in 2 outings at Southwell in recent weeks.

Forecasts

Frankini (10/11), La Botte (13/8), Callianassa (8/1), College Fund (11/1), Obito (14/1), Grizzieblanca (150/1), Hurricane Bea (200/1), Lights Go Down (200/1), Wayward Daughter (200/1), Promise Time (250/1), Queen's Palace (250/1), Golden Harmony (250/1)

FRANKINI ran well in a couple of useful maidens on turf last autumn and gets the vote for in-form Andrew Balding. La Botte and Callianassa are the chief form threats, while Obito is a newcomer who would need considering if the betting speaks in his favour.
