Interesting recruit to the Flat who ran a fine race over C&D when seen last month. Makes first start for a trainer yet to have a winner but should be thereabouts if there's enough pace in the race.

Has been disappointing on several occasions when a well backed favourite over jumps and this trip probably a little on the sharp side for him.

6/1
Been running well of late despite being beaten as favourite last time out. Still very much unexposed and proven under these conditions so not one to take lightly.

Tailed off on two outings including a bumper at this course. Shaped better than that losing distance suggests and may be more capable on the Flat. Market likely to provide clues of how he's expected to run on Flat debut.

Still a maiden after seven starts and handicap mark looks harsh on what he's achieved so far. May come on for his reappearance here.

5/4
Ex Irish (Aidan O'Brien), and bought for 10,000 gns in October. Achieved little in both Irish starts but showed much more on first start for this yard at this course last month. Will need to build on that but is bred for the AW so one of the more interesting ones.

Run some useful races in maidens but has so far yet to break her duck. Below form the last twice and faces some decent rivals in this. Receives weight all round.

Forecasts

Sugarloaf Mountain (5/4), Clondaw Banker (9/2), Casablanca (5/1), Codeshare (6/1), After Toniight (7/1), Rasasee (18/1), Ibreeq (100/1)

Verdict

CODESHARE has shown plenty of ability in two AW starts around here and sets a good standard for the rest to aim at. Sugarloaf Mountain was bought relatively cheaply from the Aidan O'Brien stable but he may be capable of better after a promising start to his AW career here last month. Any market move for Ibreeq would be interesting after shaping well in a bumper here at the end of last year. 1. Codeshare 2. Sugarloaf Mountain 3. Ibreeq
