Believe The Storm¹⁶³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: K Shoemark| T: C Fellowes| D

4/1

Promising individual. Won 10-runner novice at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 6/1) on debut, overcoming positional bias. Off 163 days and expected to leave bare form behind, so he's a major player.

Form: 1-

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Dylan Hogan| T: M MurphyWS

200/1

Eighth of 10 in novice (250/1) at Chelmsford City (7f). Off 14 months. First run for yard after leaving John Gallagher.

8/1

Shaped quite well in the circumstances when fourth of 12 in nursery (5/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) given he was very slowly away. Off 168 days/gelded and could do with breaking on terms at this track.

Form: 6354-

(14)

Karthala¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian

12/1

Well-bred colt but too green to show true worth when fifth of 12 in novice at Windsor (8.1f, good, 9/1) on debut 16 days ago. Will improve for that experience.

Ashen¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Loughnane| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 73

6/1

Settled better and displayed improved form as a result when very good fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (8f) 16 days ago. Stall 11 isn't ideal but that level puts him right in the mix.

Forecasts

Brize Norton (10/11), Believe The Storm (4/1), Ashen (6/1), Ribenska (15/2), Dannick (8/1), Karthala (12/1), Read All About It (25/1), Maximising (66/1), Marmalade Kid (80/1), Yielding To None (100/1), Kittens Gift (100/1), Havanita (125/1), Apple Of My Eye (150/1), Analytical Engine (200/1)

BELIEVE THE STORM has to give lumps of weight away but there was a lot to like about his winning debut at Wolverhampton in December so he may well be up to the task. Brize Norton progressed nicely at 2 yrs and is well drawn to adopt a prominent position, with Karthala likely to be a different proposition this time.
