Kings Highway³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: J Tate

2/1

Knew his job on debut, but still showed some improvement to win a 1m novice at Kempton last time by ¾L from Stealth Fighter, keeping on well. Will improve further, and shortlisted here.

Form: 21

(3)

Get Back Get Back³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: C G Cox| CD

4/1

Promising third over C&D in the spring, and built on that when beating Climb Aboard in a novice here last time, looking to have a bit in hand. Big player again.

Form: 31

(1)

Irish Charm

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: I Furtado

33/1

Half-brother to a 1m winner in France, but is making his racecourse debut at a belated stage, and likely to find a few too strong.

Form:

(2)

Sun Hat²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: S & E Crisford

7/1

Promise over 7f here on debut and improved to win over 1m at Newcastle last time. Placed horses have let that form down since, but folly to dismiss him on that account.

Form: 5-1

(7)

Logan's Choice

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Adam J McNamara⁽³⁾| T: H & R Charlton

25/1

Out of a half-sister to QEII Stakes winner Observatory, although her previous foals haven't set the world alight. Gelded prior to this belated debut, and market ought to indicate what's expected.

Form:

(8)

Lumen^t1²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: H & R Charlton

66/1

Looks yard's second string, and has shown very little in three starts to date. Tried in a tongue tie now, but makes very little appeal.

Form: 090

(6)

Merweb²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: David Egan| T: H Main

5/1

Shamardal colt who cost $450,000 as a yearling. Shaped with promise when 3¼L fourth of 12 to Eraad in a 7f novice at Leicester recently, and not a forlorn hope if improving on that.

Form: 4

(12)

Scoffsman³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Joshua Bryan⁽³⁾| T: K Frost

25/1

Better effort to date when third of 11 to Rockesbury in 7½f novice at Chester last time, and while he should find an opening, this looks a little too deep for him.

Form: 83

(5)

Turn Of Luck²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: J A Osborne

18/1

Has shown ability amidst greenness in two starts at Lingfield this year, and gives the impression he will win races, but eligible for handicaps after another run, so best watched here.

Form: 45

(11)

Cantiniere

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Hayley Turner| T: S bin Suroor

9/2

War Front filly who cost $250,000 as a yearling. Dam a winning half-sister to high-class 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Dutch Art. Encouraging that top connections have persevered with her, and expected to go well on racecourse bow.

Form:

(13)

Escape To The City³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: R P Downey| T: J A Osborne

100/1

Cityscape filly out of a mare who was placed in a maiden race on her sole start. Well beaten after a slow start here last month, and plenty to prove now.

Form: 8

(4)

Just Martha

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: William Cox⁽⁵⁾| T: J L Flint

80/1

Sepoy half-sister to 7f winner Baby Nayef and useful 6f-1m winner Justice Well, out of a winning half-sister to smart 6f winners Tarjman and Nota Bene. Appeals on pedigree, but a very cheap purchase last year, which tempers confidence.

Form:

(9)

Lope De Loop^h⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: S W Kelly| T: A Sadik| OR: 52

150/1

Regressive maiden who has been well held in two starts for current yard, the latest over hurdles.

Form: 2-58440

Forecasts

Kings Highway (2/1), Get Back Get Back (4/1), Cantiniere (9/2), Merweb (5/1), Sun Hat (7/1), Turn Of Luck (18/1), Scoffsman (25/1), Logan's Choice (25/1), Irish Charm (33/1), Lumen (66/1), Just Martha (80/1), Escape To The City (100/1), Lope De Loop (150/1)

Get Back Get Back is just the pick of those with racecourse experience, but the Godolphin newcomer CANTINIERE makes plenty of appeal on paper, and gets the not with fitness not expected to be an issue. King's Highway is also worth considering after his cosy win at Kempton.
