Harry's Ridge

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: T Eaves| T: E J Alston

40/1

Acclamation gelding, cost 100,000 gns as a yearling. Brother to three winners and most notably a half-brother to Profitable, a 7f Group 1 winner. Dam a 6f winner. Makes some appeal on paper but may have had issues, making first start at four.

Jalaad²⁰⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: A Kirby| T: S bin Suroor

6/1

Kodiac gelding, cost 200,000 gns as a yearling. Ran well on debut when runner-up at Lingfield (AW) and that form has been franked by two directly in behind subsequently. Didn't look like a drop in trip was called for that day though.

Form: 2-

Khaan¹⁶⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: L Morris| T: M Appleby

150/1

Kheleyf colt, half-brother to two middle distance winners. Well beaten in two starts as a three-year-old and looks vulnerable dropped back in trip here.

Form: 06-

Doncaster Star

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: I Furtado

66/1

Doncaster Rover filly, dam placed in modest company over this trip. Makes her debut and others have make more appeal on pedigree.

Alkaraama

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: Sir Michael Stoute

10/1

War Front colt, cost $600,000 as a foal. Brother to a 6f winner as a juvenile, half-brother to two more winners. Yard's debutantes can be ready to go first time and he makes plenty of appeal on paper.

Form:

Bagatino²⁰⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: K Stott| T: D Carroll

100/1

Poet's Voice gelding, cost 80,000 gns as a yearling, resold for 11,000 gns earlier this year. Showed very little on sole start to date for Charlie Appleby when only beating one home in a seven runner race at Brighton; likely best watched for now.

Form: 6-

(13)

Brutalab

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: J Garritty| T: T D Easterby

100/1

Epaulette gelding, cost £18,000 as a Breeze-up purchase. Half-brother to four winners over similar trips and dam a 1m4f winner. Yard's debutantes can need the run but worth a market check.

Form:

Chatham House²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 81

3/1

Has plenty of experience in this field, placed on his last three starts of 2018 including here in November (6f, soft). Only narrowly denied on reappearance by a rival who has finished runner-up in Listed class subsequently; solid each-way claims.

Form: 35233-2

Destination

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: James Doyle| T: W J Haggas

6/4

Mukhadram gelding, half-brother to three winners and dam a Listed winning sprinter. Yard can have them ready to go on debut and certainly worth a check in the market here.

Form:

Gylo¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: R P Downey| T: D O'Meara

80/1

Shaped okay on debut at Newcastle (6f) but didn't back that up when stepped up to this trip on his reappearance at the same venue. May have needed that run but still has a fair bit to find here.

Form: 4-8

(7)

Jabalaly²⁹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: R Havlin| T: E A L Dunlop

10/1

Moohaajim colt, cost €56,000 as a foal and £85,000 as a yearling. Half-brother to a Listed winner and two useful sprinters. Green on debut at Doncaster last year but showed plenty, staying on to finish runner-up and likely to improve here.

Form: 2-

(16)

Lyndon B¹⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Harry Bentley| T: George Scott

10/1

Green but ran well on debut and still looked in need of the experience, despite finishing fourth of 16 when last seen. Gelded since and every chance he will improve this campaign. Well bred and expected to go well here.

Form: 24-

Royal Sands¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Barry McHugh| T: J G Given

50/1

Dabirsim colt, cost €75,000 as a yearling and €145,000 as a Breeze-up purchase. Market suggested he may need the run on debut when seventh of 14 at Redcar but every chance he can do better here.

Form: 7

(9)

Stormbomber¹⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: L P Keniry| T: E Walker

66/1

Stormy Atlantic colt, cost 240,000 gns as a Breeze-up purchase. Half-brother to a US Graded winner and dam a 6f winner. Looked in need of a step up in trip on debut at Wolverhampton but well bred and may improve here.

Form: 6-

(4)

Menina Atrevida²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Jason Hart| T: I Furtado

100/1

Nayef filly, half-sister to juvenile winner over this trip. Dam a 6f winner. Not disgraced in two starts at big prices, slowly away both times, including C&D latest. Needs a sizable step up on those efforts to play a part in what looks a hot maiden.

Form: 57

(17)

Secretarial

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: S De Sousa| T: T D Easterby

22/1

Kingman filly, 85,000 gns as a yearling. Half-sister to two winners and dam a 1m winner and runner-up in Italian Oaks. Yard's debutantes can need the run but jockey booking looks positive and worth a check in the market here.

Forecasts

Destination (6/4), Chatham House (3/1), Jalaad (6/1), Brandy Spirit (7/1), Lyndon B (10/1), Alkaraama (10/1), Jabalaly (10/1), Secretarial (22/1), Harry's Ridge (40/1), Royal Sands (50/1), Stormbomber (66/1), Doncaster Star (66/1), Gylo (80/1), Brutalab (100/1), Menina Atrevida (100/1), Bagatino (100/1), Khaan (150/1)

Chatham House has plenty more experience than the rest of the field and the form of his latest start has been franked since. However, he may prove vulnerable as far as win purposes are concerned and it might be worth taking a chance on LYNDON B. He looked green in two starts as a juvenile but gelding operation may have done the trick and he's shaped with promise on both his starts. Alkaraama, Secretarial and Destination are all well bred newcomers worth noting in the market while Jabalaly should improve for his run here last year.
