Allieyf¹⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mulrennan| T: W J Haggas

4/5

Fair debut effort at Nottingham (1m½f, soft) back in November when staying on for fifth. This step up in trip should suit and bold bid expected.

Form: 5-

Charlie Dove

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: T Hamilton| T: K Frost

50/1

Cost 10,000 gns as a two-year-old. This trip looks a good starting point on paper but up against a couple of promising types here.

Form:

(1)

Flat Out Eric^p¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Noel Garbutt⁽³⁾| T: L McJannet

100/1

Beaten a long way on two starts to date including at Newbury last time (sent off 250/1). Likely to find this tough going once more and handicaps will suit better on the back of this.

Form: 60

(2)

Kings Full⁸²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Shane Gray| T: K A Ryan

10/3

Good dirt pedigree, half-brother to US Grade 1 winner Halfbridled, and has shown promise on both starts to date, although arguably a backwards step when third of three at Newcastle last time. Cost $550,000 as a yearling and that looks expensive now.

Form: 4-3

(5)

Making Miracles¹⁷⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 81

3/1

Brings the best form to the table of these and has been gelded over the winter. Likely to be match fit and a big player in this.

Forecasts

Allieyf (4/5), Making Miracles (3/1), Kings Full (10/3), Charlie Dove (50/1), Flat Out Eric (100/1)

Kings Full cost a fortune but hasn’t lived up to that price tag yet. Making Miracles brings the best form to the table and has been gelded over the winter so we can expect a solid run but ready preference is for ALLIEYF. The son of New Approach is bred to relish middle distances and looked a surefire future winner on debut and should go well on his return to action.
