Harvey Dent²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 77| D

5/2

Built on earlier promise without having to improve when making all to land a 1m2f novice at Lingfield last month. Much more needed to score here, but entitled to respect on positive profile.

Form: 3-41

(3)

Red Bond²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 75

8/1

Improved when making all in a 1m½f novice at Wolverhampton last time, and could do better again, but did have the run of things there, and will need to improve to score against stronger rivals here.

Form: 56-1

Albert Finney^h²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R L Moore| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 73

6/4

Yet another to make all the running to get off the mark last time, and he was also given plenty of rope to gain that win. Handicapper hasn't overreacted, though, and this well-bred gelding looks to hold every chance again.

Form: 9744-1

Whenapoet^p²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Mark Crehan⁽⁷⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 69

20/1

Made all to score off 6lb lower at Southwell in December, and not disgraced when runner-up there last time, but more exposed that most, and others may have his measure again.

Form: 38321-2

Wall Of Sapphire^b1²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: H Palmer| OR: 68| BF

12/1

Half-sister to connections' smart middle-distance performer Wall of Fire who improved for the fitting of blinkers, and this filly has run creditably the last twice. Step up in trip and fitting of blinkers could be catalysts for improvement.

Form: 065-24

(2)

Torolight¹⁰⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 68

4/1

Off the mark in 1m Kempton nursery when last seen, relishing strong pace to produce an improved effort. Up 10lb after a break, but should have the race run to suit, and respected.

Forecasts

Albert Finney (6/4), Harvey Dent (5/2), Torolight (4/1), Red Bond (8/1), Wall Of Sapphire (12/1), Whenapoet (20/1)

Most of these made all or tried to do so last time, and that might play into the hands of the hold-up horses, with WALL OF SAPPHIRE a likely improver up in trip and sporting blinkers. She's taken ahead of Albert Finney, with Torolight another who would benefit from a strong pace and considered as a result.
