Bated Breath filly who is a half-sister to The Great Gabriel, Scallop, Economy and Yet Again who have all won at fair level. Winning start in a Ffos Las novice event last August and clearly possesses talent.

Only two runs in the best part of two years, both at Kempton, and was well beaten in both. Best watched for the time being.

Glimpse of promise over 1m3f at Kempton, but could not back that up over 1m4f at the same venue in November. May fare better when handicapping.

Maiden after 12 attempts, four of them on the AW. Good efforts to finish a close fourth on last two starts, however, and may be able to get involved in first-time blinkers.

Beaten a long way in both his races at Kempton and Wolverhampton. Needs to show plenty more before becoming a betting proposition.

Dick Turpin gelding out of a miler who had winning form on AW surfaces. Tailed-off last of nine on debut at Lingfield in November and clearly needs to show vast improvement.

No wins in six races, but has shown ability and has been placed three times, latterly when runner-up at Kempton last summer. Sound chance if all is well after his spell of the sidelines.

Mount Nelson colt whose dam was a winner over staying trips on Fibresand. Slowly away when well held on debut at Lingfield last month.

Well backed when landing a four-runner Exeter bumper in October and was not disgraced when finishing in mid-division in a much stronger contest at Cheltenham at the start of this month. Interesting contender on Flat/AW debut.

Forecasts

Plait (15/8), Echo Cove (2/1), White Turf (11/4), Ripplet (8/1), Harbour Quay (12/1), Brecqhou Island (28/1), Zahraani (50/1), Lord Digby (50/1), Interrogation (66/1)

Verdict

A weak contest and it would be no surprise to see Plait supplement her winning debut at Ffos Las. This is a very different challenge, though, and a safer option may be WHITE TURF, who boasts decent placed form and has proved himself on the AW. Fair bumper performer Ripplet is an intriguing contender, while Echo Cove could make an impact in first-time blinkers.
