Kiniro⁸⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: T E Whelan| T: Harry Charlton| OR: 80| CD

22/1

Promising individual who got off the mark in a C&D maiden in January and again shaped well when second of 5 on handicap debut at Kempton (7f) later that month, keeping on having not been ideally placed. Interesting with further progress likely.

Form: 94-12

(2)

Coul Angel³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: M Appleby| OR: 79| D

9/2

Lightly-raced winner. 7/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 34 days ago, always holding on. Appeals as the type to progress further and he's of interest again.

Form: 4-3151

Tattie Bogle¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Beasley| T: C Johnston| OR: 78| D

28/1

Much improved when off the mark at third time of asking at Newcastle (6f) in November. Never figured from a poor draw on return when tenth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 11 days ago. and whilst this promises to reveal more, he's drawn wider than ideal in 12. Also declared 1.50 Newcastle.

Form: 261-0

Backspin⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 78| D

5/2

Hello Youmzain gelding who justified good support when opening his account in 10-runner handicap (5/4) at Southwell (6.1f) 48 days ago, well on top finish. Appeals as the type to go on improving and he's one to consider up 6 lb.

Form: 92-31

(11)

Rock Hunter³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: Lemos Souza| OR: 78

25/1

Quite useful early 2-y-o last year before his form tailed off. However, not disgraced returning from 4 months off when fourth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 30 days ago. Return to this longer trip can help but another not so well favoured by the draw.

The Flying Seagull¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: R Kingscote| T: H Palmer| OR: 78| D

15/2

Ran well from the front when third at Southwell (6f) in March and best not judged too harshly on his subsequent seventh of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 11 days ago, having had little go right from the start. However, he'll need things to pan out ideally for one with his style from this draw.

Form: 216-737

(3)

Ay Gee Ell^t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D Nolan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 77

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, quickly back on track when second of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 13 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and return to 6f looks worthy of exploring.

Form: 8-252

(9)

Soldiers Star⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: H Palmer| OR: 77

14/1

Placed all 3 starts in maidens and he showed improved form on the back of being gelded when winning 8-runner handicap at Kempton (7f, 3/1) 44 days ago, coming in for a well-judged ride. Sufficiently lightly raced to think there could yet be more to come. Also declared 1.50 Newcastle.

Form: 23-31

(8)

McIntosh^t²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: A J Farragher| T: James Horton| OR: 75| BF| D

13/2

Built on promising debut when winning 8-runner maiden at Wolverhampton (6f) last month. May not have been ideally suited by going right-handed when fourth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 23 days ago and better showing anticipated returned to 6f.

Form: 214

(6)

Vocal Legend⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Loughnane| T: C Hills| OR: 75| D

3/1

Dark Angel colt who only needed to match previous form when opening his account under this pilot in 5-runner novice at Southwell (6f) 62 days ago. Not hard pressed on that occasion and he remains with potential now his sights are set on handicaps.

Form: 62-21

Forecasts

Backspin (5/2), Vocal Legend (3/1), Coul Angel (9/2), McIntosh (13/2), The Flying Seagull (15/2), Tuco Salamanca (8/1), Soldiers Star (14/1), Kiniro (22/1), Rock Hunter (25/1), The Actor (25/1), Tattie Bogle (28/1), Ay Gee Ell (33/1)

COUL ANGEL has some strong form to his name and, eased slightly in grade, showed a good attitude to resume winning ways at Southwell 5 weeks ago. Nudged up 3 lb, he's of interest again from a handy draw and earns the vote ahead of Kiniro and Backspin who are similarly going the right way. McIntosh and Vocal Legend aren't dismissed either.
