Selected odds by:

(4)

Kabuki^h¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: D C Costello| T: D McCain Jnr

150/1

Modest hurdler who has finished down the field in maiden/novice contests at up to 12f in recent weeks. Steps back markedly in trip on qualifying run and handicaps will surely be more his bag.

Form: 30

(8)

Supreme Sovereign⁸⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: P J McDonald| T: C Hills| OR: 82| C

9/1

Overcame greenness to make a winning debut over 7f here in November and similar form, whilst leaving the impression he might have needed the run after 5 months off when fifth of 9 in novice at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 87 days ago and no surprise to see him thereabouts.

Form: 1-5

(1)

Alerta Maxima³⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: T E Whelan| T: M P Tregoning

22/1

Promising type who despite lingering greenness built on debut promise when landing 13-runner maiden at Goodwood (6f, good) 12 months ago. Absent since but she remains with potential, not least now her stamina is tested further.

Form: 61-

(2)

Bluecoltrane²⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Finley Marsh| T: Owen Burrows

7/1

Sea The Moon colt who showed ability when seventh of 12 in novice at Kempton (7f) on debut back in October, outpaced when the tempo lifted. Appeals as the type to do better and this increase in trip will suit on return.

Form: 7-

(6)

Dragon Warrior

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J Tate

12/1

58,000 gns yearling, Churchill colt. Closely related to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 1m Sarrocchi and 1¼m-1½m winner Bondi Sands. One to note on debut.

Form:

(10)

Magic Star

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: A J Farragher| T: W J Haggas

9/1

Sea The Stars colt. Closely related to smart 1m-1¼m winner Scentasia and half-brother to 1¼m winner Little Rose. Makes plenty of appeal on paper for leading stable and he's well worthy of note on debut.

Form:

(5)

Richmondshire

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Ray Dawson| T: E Bethell

28/1

35,000 gns yearling, Galileo Gold gelding. Dam maiden half-sister to 2-y-o 6f/7f winner (stayed 1¼m) Bunker and winner up to 8.6f Imperial Fighter (both smart). Likely the betting can point the way on debut.

Form:

(9)

Time Allowed³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Watson| T: A M Balding| BF

11/10

Lope De Vega gelding who ran to a similar level as on debut when third of 9 in novice at Newbury (7f, firm, 11/8) 32 days ago. Very much one to consider on this first crack at 1m.

Form: 43

(7)

Tokyo Joe³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jack Doughty| T: E Walker

3/1

Siyouni colt who was much improved from his debut following a 5-month break when fourth of 9 in novice at Newbury (7f, firm, 16/1) 32 days ago. Has plenty about him physically and this step up in trip promises to hold no fears. Interesting.

Form: 5-4

(3)

Kittens Gift¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Joey Haynes| T: I Furtado

300/1

Well held both starts in novice company at up to 1m in recent weeks.

Form: 00

Forecasts

Time Allowed (11/10), Tokyo Joe (3/1), Bluecoltrane (7/1), Supreme Sovereign (9/1), Magic Star (9/1), Dragon Warrior (12/1), Alerta Maxima (22/1), Richmondshire (28/1), Kabuki (150/1), Kittens Gift (300/1)

TOKYO JOE was much improved from his debut following 5 months off when fourth in a Newbury novice (7f) 32 days ago and, appealing as the sort to go on improving, not least now upped in trip, he could be worth siding with to make it third time lucky. Time Allowed is an obvious danger on the form he's displayed to date, with the returning Alerta Maxima another intriguing contender. Magic Star and Dragon Warrior are a couple of newcomers to note.
