Gelded after two starts as a juvenile, he returned to action in a Kempton maiden in which he was third despite not getting the clearest of runs. Should improve plenty for that run and is respected returned to turf.

Showed promise in five starts as a juvenile without getting his head in front. Has been gelded so it will be interesting to see if that procedure and a winter's development have had the desired effect.

Runner-up three times as a juvenile, including at this track. He never ran over less than 7f last year so it will be revealing to see if he is sharp enough for this trip.

Two starts for her new yard, the latter when not being given a hard time in a 7f Lingfield handicap. Back to the distance of her only win, she is an intriguing contender and has strong claims.

Placed once in five starts a a two-year-old, he starts his three-year-old campaign off a reasonable mark. Might need this outing, but certainly worth noting if there is money for him.

Won a seller at Wolverhampton in February, but has shown little in handicaps since. No evidence to suggest a revival is imminent.

Won a weak C&D maiden last August, but has not gone on as hoped and seems to have regressed since being gelded. The return to this track might spark a revival, but plenty has to be taken on trust to support him.

Has been running with credit on AW surfaces, but won a Goodwood seller for Mick Channon last June so underfoot conditions should not be an issue. Respected.

Forecasts

Raffle King (11/4), Foxcatcher (11/4), Otomo (10/3), Kiribati (4/1), Baby Gal (15/2), Hidden Stash (8/1), Pulsating (12/1), Pastfact (16/1), Billy's Boots (20/1)

Verdict

A tight three-year-old handicap which may see a return to form for BABY GAL, who caught the eye when tried over further at Lingfield last time. Raffle King has improvement in him and can make his presence felt, while top weight Foxcatcher is progressive.
