Has finished last in all three bumpers and has been beaten an aggregate of 181L in the process. May be more effective over shorter distances, judged on pedigree, but still remains hard to recommend.
Off the track almost a year since debut over a mile. Took a keen hold that day and failed to see out the trip. Switches to 7f and pedigree dictates she might be better over further. Best watched today for a yard who are 5-14 around here.
Would not have to improve much for switch to new yard to land this. Showed significant progress between his first two starts and stable's three-year-olds have made a good start to the campaign. As a note of caution the yard have a poor record here of 4-34.
Has not found much in the closing stages off low marks in handicaps. This looks tougher and he is hard to recommend.
Has hung left under pressure in his last two starts at Chelmsford. Stable are off to a good start with this age group but he has something to find on form.
Has squandered easier opportunities than this and is probably one to be wary of. Finds little under pressure and will need to stamp his authority on these early in order to open his account.
Expected more than he delivered last time and this looks a stronger race. May need more time and a low handicap mark before he is seen at his best.
Stable are 8-36 here and she is related to a number of 7f winners. Has dwelt on both starts to date but shown ability. Will qualify for handicaps after this and that is where her future will lie.
Forecasts
Tafaakhor (11/10), King Of Paris (11/8), Second Page (4/1), Legendoire (20/1), So Much Water (20/1), Tojosimbre (33/1), Rocksette (50/1), Golden Cannon (66/1)
Tafaakhor has the ability and the form to win this but he also has the profile of a frustrating horse who will be expensive to follow. Having been found lacking in a finish on more than one occasion, connections will be hoping he can coast home here. That will depend on the progress KING OF PARIS has made over the winter since joining Roger Varian. He has something to find on form and this is a track were the yard do not fare particularly well. Nevertheless, he appeared to have learned a lot from his debut last time and, if we are to oppose Tafaakhor, he looks the one to be on. Second Page is a stable companion of Tafaakhor. He has hung left under pressure in a couple of AW races this winter. He would be behind the aforementioned pair on form but would be the most likely beneficiary if they fail to produce on the day.
- King Of Paris
- Tafaakhor
