Ardimento¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: E J Walsh| T: B R Millman

7/1

Spotted making some late headway when fifth of 14 on debut at Kempton last month. Extra ½f and that experience both positives so has each-way chances here.

Form: 5

Golden Grenade

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: J P Fahy| T: Ian Williams

50/1

Zanzibar newcomer a half-brother to a dual-purpose winner for this primarily jumps focused yard. Doesn't have the most obvious pedigree for such a contest so likely best watched.

Reggae Runner¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Andrew Breslin⁽⁵⁾| T: C & M Johnston

14/1

Despite a slow start and running greenly he stayed on really well too late on the day at Lingfield when fourth of eight over 6f. Bred to appreciate further and that run reinforced that a likelihood so makes plenty of appeal here.

Form: 4

Thedevilinneville⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Charlie Bennett| T: A West

80/1

Paco Boy gelding made some late ground when fourth of six at Lingfield on debut just last week. Better for that experience and longer trip here so place potential at least.

Wings Of Time¹²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: David Probert| T: C Appleby

4/9

Son of super-sire Invincible Spirit was never a factor in lone race to date, a Newmarket maiden in September but did some running late on. This almost certainly a much lesser contest and expecting an altogether better showing now.

Form: 7-

Solar Heights²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: J P Sullivan| T: J Tate

9/2

Stoutly bred Cape Cross filly made eye-catching late headway on debut at Kempton over 7f last month as she eventually finished sixth of 14. Sure to benefit for experience and longer trip here so highly respected.

Forecasts

Wings Of Time (4/9), Solar Heights (9/2), Perfect Grace (13/2), Ardimento (7/1), Reggae Runner (14/1), Atlantic City (14/1), Golden Grenade (50/1), Thedevilinneville (80/1)

A whole host of interesting once raced maidens here with several of them looking the sorts to do better next time out. The vote goes tentatively to Mark Johnston's REGGAE RUNNER who like most from this yard looked sure to improve for further when fourth on debut. Solar Heights is also sure to be better for this longer trip and the experience gained on debut so rates a big danger. Wings Of Time can be expected to go well based on connections and pedigree.
