Xanthe³³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 87| D

9/2

Got the better of a field of colts when making a winning debut in Ascot last May and again showed plenty when 4½ lengths sixth of 24 to Leovanni in Queen Mary Stakes (22/1) at the Royal meeting there (5f, good to firm) the following month. Worth betting check making handicap bow after 11 months off.

Ruby's Profit^t¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: K Shoemark| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 87| D

6/4

Routed her rivals from the front on her return in a 5f Wolverhampton handicap and confirmed that improvement when a fine second at Chester (5.1f, good) 17 days ago. Test of speed should suit and she's a leading player.

Carrados^p1²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 86| D

9/2

Bumped into a Pattern-level performer on his final outing at 2 yrs and didn't really need to improve to make a winning return in a 6-runner novice at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 28 days ago. Considered making handicap bow in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 322-1

Naana's Sparkle³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Luke Catton⁽⁵⁾| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 83

11/1

Opened his account at third attempt in a Chelmsford novice (6f) in October before making a positive start to his 3-y-o campaign when third of 10 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good) 32 days ago. Settled better that time but percentage call is others perhaps have a higher ceiling.

Form: 4414-3

Mademoiselle²⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: R Kingscote| T: George Scott| OR: 83| D

20/1

Put her experience to good use to land a 8-runner maiden at Thirsk (5f) last August before producing a game display to follow under a penalty in a Southwell novice later in the month. Worth market check sent handicapping after 9 months off.

Captain Kinsella⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: William Carson| T: J Gallagher| OR: 80| D

8/1

Won a pair of 5f AW novice contests in December. Flying too high in listed company at York last week and though this is more realistic, he's perhaps a shade more exposed than some of his rivals.

Form: 311-357

Desdemona^t³⁰⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Paddy Bradley| T: M J Attwater| OR: 79| D

80/1

Reacted well to a first-time tongue tie when the ready winner of a 5f turf maiden at Lingfield last July. Allowed to leave Tom Clover's yard for 11,000 gns in the autumn but still rates a potential improver in handicaps for new yard.

Cressida Wildes^v¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Grace McEntee| T: P S McEntee| OR: 78| D

18/1

Off the mark at Chelmsford City in January and responded well to a first-time visor when runner-up in a handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to firm) 10 days ago. This is tougher.

Star Chorus^h²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 76| D

12/1

Crucially channelled his energy more efficiently than previously when opening his account in 7-runner handicap at Southwell (5f) in January. Given a stiff task from out of the weights at Sandown last month and isn't completely discounted here.

Miss Show Down²⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Saffie Osborne| T: C G Cox| OR: 75| D

22/1

Much improved for the switch to a nursery when finishing well to land a 12-runner event at Bath (5f, good, 16/1). Absent since but 4 lb higher mark looks workable.

Forecasts

Ruby's Profit (6/4), Xanthe (9/2), Carrados (9/2), Captain Kinsella (8/1), Walnut (8/1), Naana's Sparkle (11/1), Kinetic Force (11/1), Star Chorus (12/1), Rock Hunter (14/1), Cressida Wildes (18/1), Mademoiselle (20/1), Miss Show Down (22/1), Desdemona (80/1)

RUBY'S PROFIT looked all about speed when winning at Wolverhampton on her comeback and backed that with a fine second at Chester earlier in the month, so tops the shortlist in this competitive affair. Carrados ran well when close at Goodwood last year and showed his ability remains when making a successful return, so is most feared on his handicap bow, whilst fellow handicap newcomer Walnut shouldn't be underestimated from bottom weight.
