Starchant²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Liam Jones| T: J J Bridger| OR: 65

10/1

11-race maiden who has proved inconsistent so far. Gets a welcome drop in class but needs to bounce back from a poor run and others look stronger candidates.

Form: 346-459

(12)

Valentino Sunrise¹⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Scott McCullagh⁽⁷⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 63| D

11/2

Seems to handle any ground and twice a winner already for last year's winning stable. Below-par at end of last season over 6f but down in class on reappearance and better over this distance. One to note.

Form: 147160-

Cobweb Catcher^h¹⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Charles Bishop| T: B R Millman| OR: 62| BF

7/2

Seven-race maiden following six runs for Richard Spencer and one for his current stable last year. Ran well on last three while not quite seeing out 6f and could improve over this distance following gelding operation. Leading contender.

Form: 077324-

Vena d'Amore¹⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jack Duern⁽³⁾| T: D K Ivory| OR: 61

20/1

Ran well when a neck second in a Nottingham maiden last year but other six starts were poor. Remains unconvincing on her return.

Form: 020007-

Urban Highway⁶⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: A W Carroll| OR: 61

10/1

Promise in first three starts for Mark Johnston and on new stable debut but worst run so far at Kempton latest. Not certain to be suited by drop in trip.

Form: 536-36

(3)

Valley Belle^v⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Grace McEntee⁽⁷⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 56

16/1

Sole win from 18 starts came on debut for this stable and still 7lb higher 11 races later. Needs to bounce back from two below-par runs.

Form: 533384

(2)

Swiss Chime¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Megan Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: D K Ivory| OR: 56| D

8/1

Only win came on the fibresand and back on the same mark while remaining lightly-raced on turf. Held her form since win and likely to be involved again.

Form: 5-16354

(10)

The Defiant⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: P T Midgley| OR: 55| D

11/2

Took a step forward when scoring at Wolverhampton on his first run this year. Open to further progress but had seemingly improved for a switch to the AW and needs to transfer the form to turf.

Form: 06074-1

(4)

Maid From The Mist²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Joey Haynes| T: J Gallagher| OR: 54

33/1

Seven-race maiden ran with plenty of promise on her second start last year but regressive since and pretty much pulled-up on her reappearance.

Form: 59730-9

(11)

Carla Koala⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Miss N L-Beavis| OR: 54

50/1

Remains a maiden after four starts and yet to show any signs of ability when unfancied each time. Easy to overlook.

Form: 560-9

(8)

Brother Bentley^p⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: David Probert| T: R Harris| OR: 53

10/1

Six-race maiden was better when 2L behind The Defiant at Wolverhampton in February. May have been flattered though by a race run at a slow tempo and in a poor time.

Form: 7689-05

Princess Florence¹⁶⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁵⁾| T: J Ryan| OR: 50

33/1

Yet to score after eight starts but did show some early promise last season. Last two runs were very poor and best watched on reappearance.

Form: 457680-

(9)

Ever Rock¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Laura Coughlan⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Moore| OR: 47

20/1

Maiden after 13 starts. Claims on a couple of seconds last season. Latest run can be dismissed as unlucky in the run and worth a try back in trip. Place possibilities.

Form: 4-25257

Rule 4

Rule 4 applies to all bets - deduction 5p in the pound

Forecasts

Cobweb Catcher (7/2), Valentino Sunrise (11/2), The Defiant (11/2), Swiss Chime (8/1), Melya (8/1), Brother Bentley (10/1), Urban Highway (10/1), Starchant (10/1), Mayfair Madame (12/1), Te Amo Te Amo (14/1), Valley Belle (16/1), Ever Rock (20/1), Vena d'Amore (20/1), Maid From The Mist (33/1), Princess Florence (33/1), Carla Koala (50/1)

Valentino Sunrise is interesting back at the preferred minimum distance and this looks a realistic start to his season. The gelding operation could be the making of COBWEB CATCHER who has been crying out for a drop to this trip. Swiss Chime is race-fit and in-form and can be involved again.
