Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: P Cosgrave| T: W J Haggas| OR: 102

5/2

Disappointed when beaten favourite in a Newbury Group 3 when last seen in October, but the jockey reported afterwards that the colt 'stopped quickly'. If putting that run behind him he should go well here in the back of a maiden win and a second in a Listed race at Dundalk.

Form: 120-2

Khafoo Shememi¹⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R L Moore| T: R Hannon| OR: 95

3/1

Beaten 2L into fourth when last seen in a Listed contest at Doncaster in October, and tries 1m for the first time today. This trip could suit him better going forward, and he should go well if coming off the winter break ready to go.

Form: 134-1

Red Ensign²⁰⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Harry Bentley| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 88

7/2

His only victory to date came over C&D, but he subsequently struggled in a Listed race, when he finished last of all, and a Class 2 handicap. He has been gelded and this looks to be his trip, but more will be needed.

Form: 3165-4

Ultimate Avenue²⁰⁵

2/1

Won a maiden over 7f at the second time of asking but not disgracing himself in a Newmarket Group 3 (the Tattersalls Stakes) when still running a little green. He could be better now stepped up to 1m for the first time.

ULTIMATE AVENUE wasn't beaten all that far in the Tattersalls Stakes when last seen, and still looked to be showing some of the signs of his inexperience that day. If he can settle over a mile he can build on the promise shown that day, when beaten only 4½L, and prove himself to be a smart prospect for Ed Walker with a victory here. Khafoo Shememi is another who should do better over this slightly longer trip, while Executive Force looked to be full of potential before dropping out tamely in a Newbury Group 3 last time out. His jockey reported to the stewards that he had 'stopped quickly' and more can be expected today.
