Off the mark at the first attempt when winningo ver 6f at Chelmsford on debut last September. Hails from a good yard and looks likely to prove hard to beat under a penalty.

Well held 10L eighth of nine in a 7f novice event at Kempton on debut last month. Probably best watched dropping back in distance.

Beaten 14L when sent off 200/1 for his debut at Wolverhampton (7f) earlier this month. Others hold stronger claims on this occasion.

Decent efforts in defeat in two starts so far. Dropping back to 5f when 1¼L sixth over 5f at Kempton last time out and looks to have a bit to find with the principals in this contest.

Ran well to finish runner-up in a 5f novice event at this venue in early February. Given a break and gelded since and interesting to see how he fares.

Forecasts

Habub (1/4), Maid Of Spirit (4/1), Physics (5/1), Turquoise Friendly (8/1), Farhhmoreexciting (16/1), True Belief (33/1), Gonzaga (66/1), Arvensis (66/1)

Verdict

HABUB can maintain his unbeaten record by following up at Chelmsford debut victory last autumn with victory in this novice contest. Maid Of Spirit is another to have won on debut and she can finish runner-up following a good AW fourth at Kempton during the autumn while third place can go to True Belief who can put a below par stable debut behind him.
