American Patrol9(ex 6)
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-8| J: A Kirby| T: N P Mulholland| OR:  55
4/6
Improved on all form prior when well backed and obliged as short priced favourite last time out. Looks capable of defying a 6lb penalty and step up in trip ought to suit.

8/1
Had stalls issues in the past but no sign of that when placing over C&D last time out. Should continue to progress but wide draw makes life tough.

Age: 3|  Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R A Teal| OR:  60
50/1
Poor form in three maiden efforts and showed very little on handicap debut earlier in the month. Has looked an awkward customer on occasions and not one to be overly enthusiastic about.

100/1
Only win to date recorded in a particularly weak Thirsk claimer but unplaced on last three starts. Makes AW debut and first start for new yard so betting market likely to prove informative.

Vrika Bay29
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-7| J: Georgia Cox(5)| T: R Eddery| OR:  60
33/1
Didn't show much on her debut at Goodwood in July but did make a small step forward on her AW debut in December. Tailed off when stepped up in trip on last run and yard have been quiet but likely to fare better now tackling handicaps.

Mac's Kyllachyv119
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR:  60
16/1
Very little form in maidens and never got going on handicap debut last time. First-time headgear needs to spark improvement.

Ede's E Rider21
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-6| J: K T O'Neill| T: P Phelan| OR:  59
66/1
Hasn't figured in three starts to date and yard do better with older types generally. Wide draw to overcome and probably best watched for now.

Mr Mac49
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: P Hedger| OR:  59
12/1
Has looked a slow starter and two of his three career starts. Best effort came over C&D and trainer has a good strike-rate with this jockey but still needs to find plenty more.

Log Off20
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-6| J: Adam Beschizza| T: P D Evans| OR:  59
20/1
Improved form since switching to Southwell on last two starts. This track has been riding a little deeper this winter so it's feasible she could transfer her form and still looks on a fair mark.

Too Many Shots20
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-5| J: Kieren Fox| T: J R Best| OR:  58
6/1
Slowly progressing and starting to get more competitive from this kind of mark of late. Vulnerable for win purposes but could run into a place.

Dangerous Endsv21
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-2| J: M Dwyer| T: B R Johnson| OR:  55
9/1
Has missed the break on a couple of starts to date but benefited by them going too quick on the front end last time, getting up late in the day. Poor draw to contend with now though and no guarantee he will get as much luck in running.

Shiloh28
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-2| J: Martin Lane| T: S & E Crisford| OR:  55
33/1
Only beaten three rivals home in as many starts but got a little closer last time and step up in trip should help. Likely to improve now handicapping.

Age: 3|  Weight: 8-11| J: Jordan Uys(7)| T: B J Meehan| OR:  50

Poor in four efforts so far including handicap debut last time. First-time cheekpieces appeared to have no effect and they're replaced by a visor here.

Paco Dawnb19
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-9| J: S W Kelly| T: P Hide| OR:  48

Only beaten one home in four starts and tailed off last time. Runs from out of the handicap.

Forecasts

American Patrol (4/6), Too Many Shots (6/1), Beauchamp Opal (8/1), Dangerous Ends (9/1), Mr Mac (12/1), Mac's Kyllachy (16/1), Log Off (20/1), Vrika Bay (33/1), Shiloh (33/1), Kyllachys Tale (50/1), Ede's E Rider (66/1), London Grammar (100/1), Paco Dawn (100/1), Young Officer (150/1)

Verdict

AMERICAN PATROL justified market support last time out and carries a 6lb penalty for that win. Looks likely to cope with that and has the best form in the race. Log Off is another last time out winner and provided she copes with this different surface, she ought to remain competitive. Too Many Shots is a consistent sort and may be able to run a place after being dropped a pound. 1. American Patrol 2. Log Off 3. Too Many Shots
