Won well at Kempton in November but this mark looks a little beyond her and probably needs some relief from the handicapper and a better draw before becoming of interest in this race.

One win from 35 runs. Yet to run over this far on the Flat but no reason he won't stay and has plenty of placed efforts in this sphere. Jockey booking a positive.

3/1
Course winner who has a largely patchy profile. Finished second last time out but seemed to be running past beaten horses and needs to step up on that effort here.

3/1
One win from 22 runs and evidently a difficult horse to catch right but recorded a decent placed effort at Kempton two starts back, staying on well to take second and jockey rides for the first time.

C&D winner that has shown very little since that one victory and tough to fancy in current mood.

12/1
Failed to place in last ten starts and just one win since 2013 makes him difficult to recommend but has won over C&D.

9/2
Came relatively close to ending 18-month losing run last time out and that was behind a potentially well-handicapped rival. The step back up in-trip is a positive and could prove hard to beat if returning in the same form.

Miss Dusky Diva30
Age: 5|  Weight: 8-13| J: M Harley| T: David Drinkwater| OR:  49
7/1
Placed just once in 12 starts and has work to do to reverse placing with Par Three from the same position in the weights.

14/1
Makes handicap debut but hard to recommend off three poor efforts over 12f. However, gets headgear (blinkers) for the first time and any market support could prove significant.

Age: 8|  Weight: 8-11| J: William Carson| T: J J Bridger| OR:  47
14/1
C&D winner who has returned to some sort of form recently and not one to rule out now she's only 1lb higher than last winning mark.

Still a maiden after 37 starts and unplaced in last 21 starts. Tough to make a case for.

Forecasts

Ruby Wednesday (3/1), Ali Bin Nayef (3/1), Par Three (9/2), Miss Dusky Diva (7/1), Delagoa Bay (12/1), Comedy House (12/1), Lily Edge (14/1), Divine Prince (14/1), Robben (16/1), Grand Facile (25/1), Movie Magic (33/1)

Verdict

Operating from 9lb lower than his last winning mark, PAR THREE is taken to go one better than last time out after he finished off well behind a potentially well-handicapped type. Ali Bin Nayef gets the services of George Baker for the first time and he can often find the key to horses in this type of grade while Lily Edge is just one pound above her last winning mark and can't be ruled out. 1. Par Three 2. Ali Bin Nayef 3. Lily Edge
