Catoca²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: G Mosse| T: E Walker| OR: 67

5/1

Cost $120,000 as a yearling and showed promise on AW debut but hasn't progressed in two starts since including on seasonal and turf debut. Needs to find improvement for sharp rise in distance now in handicaps.

Form: 48-0

(6)

Photonics^p¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Noel Garbutt⁽³⁾| T: H Palmer| OR: 66

40/1

Sent off at long odds on both handicap runs and well beaten twice. Form has now regressed with every run.

Form: 2060-9

(5)

Polar Light^p²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: D R C Elsworth| OR: 65

5/1

12-race maiden but she arguably put in a career best on her first run on quick ground last time. Winner franked the form in a nice Haydock handicap and she should make a bold bid.

Form: 272753

(9)

Change Maker^b²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 65

7/2

Showed promise on handicap debut on the AW when not getting the clearest of runs. Unproven on this ground but bred to appreciate this extra test and looks a contender.

Form: 7-706

(10)

Thunder North^b1²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: D R Lanigan| OR: 65| BF

16/1

Little to show in initial three runs but nothing went right when hampered early after being a well backed favourite on handicap debut. Clearly better was expected and now takes a step up in trip and blinkers added.

Form: 700-0

(2)

The Night King¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: William Carson| T: M Quinn| OR: 64

7/1

Up 4lb for Lingfield success and shaped as though this step up in distance would suit. Needs to handle quicker conditions but should be competitive if doing so.

Form: 134031

(4)

Peace Prevails⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: E F Vaughan| OR: 63

9/1

Held in a weak AW contest on first start for new yard and best watched now taking a sharp rise in trip.

Form: 35630-6

(1)

Black Lotus¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: M M Monaghan⁽³⁾| T: C F Wall| OR: 63

7/1

Similar level of form in three starts at shorter and should be suited by extra distance. Improvement required though on handicap debut.

Form: 66-5

(3)

Knight Errant^v1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: E J Walsh⁽³⁾| T: W Jarvis| OR: 63

16/1

Showed a deal of improvement on his first try at this trip and now makes handicap and turf debut. Place possibilities in first-time visor.

Form: 5-05

(13)

Safe Waters^p1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rossa Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 61

50/1

Hasn't built on first two runs and now well beaten last twice including on seasonal and handicap debut. Best watched for now.

Form: 656-0

(12)

Dark Side Jazz^v1⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁷⁾| T: J Ryan| OR: 55

25/1

Needs to settle better and now first-time visor tried. Progress required on handicap form for this step up in distance.

Form: 70-0804

(8)

Golden Guide⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Joey Haynes| T: K R Burke| OR: 54

14/1

Dropping a further 2lb after being well held over the C&D last time. More required and yet to convince she needs this far.

Form: 405-467

Player's Luck²⁰

Forecasts

Change Maker (7/2), Player's Luck (7/2), Catoca (5/1), Polar Light (5/1), Black Lotus (7/1), The Night King (7/1), Peace Prevails (9/1), Golden Guide (14/1), Knight Errant (16/1), Thunder North (16/1), Dark Side Jazz (25/1), Photonics (40/1), Safe Waters (50/1)

The market will be very interesting when it comes to Player's Luck who looks a likely type to improve significantly now going handicapping and upped in trip for last year's winning stable. The front-running POLAR LIGHT improved for the quick ground last time and the form is working out very well. The Night King is a danger off a nice win while there's more to come from Change Maker.
