Showering¹⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 86| D

6/5

Bred to useful and made a fine start to his career when comfortably winning a 9-runner novice (4/1) at Newcastle in December. Ran at least as well despite pulling hard when runner-up in a similar race later in the month. Has to be in the mix.

Form: 12-

Atmosphere^h1²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: R Spencer

22/1

Advertise gelding who fetched £40,000 as a yearling. 100/1, still green when fifth of 12 in maiden at Kempton (6f) 24 days ago. Hood on 1st time.

Form: 75

(5)

Miss Cartesian¹⁹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| D

1/1

Overcame inexperience to land the odds on debut in a 7-runner novice at Wolverhampton (6.1f) in November. Off since but that victory was rather cosy and she should progress.

Form: 1-

Sprinter²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: George Wood| T: R Spencer

125/1

Cost 75,000 gns as a yearling but could hardly have shown any less when well beaten in a minor event and a maiden at Kempton.

Form: 00

(2)

Cocooned²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: L Morris| T: G G Margarson

50/1

Postponed filly. Fifth of 9 in maiden (66/1) at Kempton (7f) on debut 22 days ago. Yard have had success with this family but she's probably one for the longer term.

Form: 5

(6)

Neyva's Angel

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: D Egan| T: Martin Dunne

12/1

Harry Angel filly. Half-sister to 2 winners, including 7f winner Madame Ellingtina. Yard wouldn't be associated with debut winners and she's likely opposable first time out.

Miss Cartesian (1/1), Showering (6/5), Neyva's Angel (12/1), Atmosphere (22/1), Cocooned (50/1), Sprinter (125/1)

MISS CARTESIAN only found the penny dropping late on but was able to score a shade cosily to make a winning debut at Wolverhampton and gets the nod in receipt of weight from main form pick Showering. That pair are the clear standouts on what they've achieved so far, with Atmosphere given the vote for third.
