Sucellus²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: L Dettori| T: J & T Gosden| BF

4/5

Debut winner on AW in December (1m½f) and improved on that after a break when runner-up at Kempton (1m2f) last time. Looks to have the scope for more and should give another good account under his penalty.

Form: 1-2

(5)

Enhanced¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: George Wood| T: H Morrison

100/1

100-1 on both starts to date and well held on each occasion. Can only watch.

Form: 0-0

Just You Wait²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby

9/4

Brother to winners Poetic Charm (7f-1m1f inc at 2/UAE Group 2) and Bean Feasa (1m Group 3). Half-brother to three Flat winners inc Teofilo (unbeaten 7f 2yo inc Group 1) & Senora Galilei (1m2f). Lovely pedigree, stable in form and could go well.

Form: 6

Laafy¹⁹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P J Dobbs| T: Sir Michael Stoute

7/2

Improved on his debut to go close here (1m, good to soft) when last seen in October. Pedigree suggests he should be able to build on that with another winter under his belt. Not ruled out.

Form: 52-

Mithmaar

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Dane O'Neill| T: C & M Johnston

28/1

Half-brother to six winners, five of which are officially rated over 100, out of a dam of similar ability. Very interesting on pedigree and could make a big impact.

Yellow Label¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding

66/1

Last on debut when an 8-1 chance, and then 50-1 and well held at Windsor last time. Several others look to have stronger claims.

Form: 87

Lollipop Lady^p1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Callum Shepherd| T: B J Meehan

100/1

25-1, well held after being ponderous when the gates went back on debut at Newbury (1m2f, soft) recently. Much more needed.

Form: 8

Forecasts

Sucellus (4/5), Just You Wait (9/4), Laafy (7/2), Mithmaar (28/1), Yellow Label (66/1), Enhanced (100/1), Lollipop Lady (100/1)

A really interest race in prospect, with the experience of Sucellus likely to be a major asset, while Laafy is another who should come on. However, arguably the most interesting runner of the lot is MITHMAAR, who is from a very successful family and a chance is taken on him on debut. Just You Wait is another eyecatching newcomer who should go well.
