Gonzaga¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Racheal Kneller⁽⁵⁾| T: J Bennett

20/1

Unraced for Juddmonte and sold for 7,000gns to current connections. Gelded ahead of belated debut and well beaten but much improved over this trip at Lingfield when second to a clear winner. Time was slow and more needed but place possibilities.

Form: 82

Benny And The Jets^t¹²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon⁽⁷⁾| T: S Kirk| DWS

3/1

Gelded son of Showcasing cost £30,000 and belied odds of 33/1 when third on December debut. Duly improved to win next up at Wolverhampton over this trip showing a gutsy attitude. Turf debut following a break and wind surgery and a leading hope.

Form: 3-1

Obee Jo¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| D

4/1

16,000gns yearling. Brother to 5f Fibresand winner Gustavo Fring and half-brother to two other winners from 6f-1m, out of an unraced dam. Needed his debut and improved nicely to win at Thirsk over this trip. Likely to keep on improving.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Raul Da Silva| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 35

250/1

Home-bred daughter of Equiano and a half-sister to multiple winner Sakash. Well held in all starts and showing no signs of any improvement. Easy to dismiss.

Wadah¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Gina Mangan⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Jenkins

66/1

Stimulation filly who made a belated start to her racing career and has been tailed off in both runs at odds of 100/1 and 150/1. Remains best watched.

Form: 67

Bold Show

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey

9/2

Son of Showcasing out a dam who won over 5f as a juvenile. Cost 67,000gns as a yearling and a 4th foal; half-brother to sprint winners Celebration and Gaval. Bred for speed and a likely type on debut.

Fox Morgan¹³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: M Dwyer| T: A M Balding

14/1

Gelded son of Paco Boy fetched 48,000gns as a yearling and a 7th foal; half-brother to five winners. Speedy pedigree but well held in last on December's AW debut. Big improvement needed on turf and season debut.

Form: 7-

Kodi King²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke

3/1

Kodiac gelding who cost £48,000 as a yearling and is from the family of 5f Group 1 winner Kyllachy. Not devoid of promise when fifth of 10 on debut over 7f but below that over 5f at Newcastle last month. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 56

Lady Monica¹⁹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: R Ffrench| T: J R Holt

125/1

Cheap purchase ran twice in October last year beating only one rival home when odds of 100/1 and 200/1. Vast improvement needed on season debut and easy to dismiss.

Form: 00-

Piccupaprosecco²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: A Elliott| T: D Shaw

100/1

Daughter of Piccolo and a half-sister to a 5f AW two-year-old winner. Slowly away and tailed off on last month's debut on the AW when a 100/1 chance. Unlikely to make an impression.

Form: 0

Senorita Grande¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Sean Davis⁽⁵⁾| T: J & S Quinn

12/1

Cost €41,000 as a two-year-old, closely related to Listed-placed (and 6f 2yo winner) Byzantium, and a half-sister to Tapeta winner New Road Side. Moderate fourth of six on debut without being disgraced. Plenty more needed on turf debut.

Form: 4

Vigorito²⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: A Mullen| T: T D Barron

14/1

Arcano filly, dam a 5f winner as a juvenile. Easy to back on debut and ran accordingly but some improvement when a well held third in a maiden at Carlisle. Much more required though to be competitive in this company.

Forecasts

Regular (11/4), Kodi King (3/1), Benny And The Jets (3/1), Obee Jo (4/1), Bold Show (9/2), Senorita Grande (12/1), Fox Morgan (14/1), Vigorito (14/1), Gonzaga (20/1), Royal Sands (50/1), Wadah (66/1), Piccupaprosecco (100/1), Lady Monica (125/1), Tilsworth Prisca (250/1)

REGULAR keeps on going close but he's not doing much wrong in defeat and sets a good standard to aim at with the drop in distance in his favour. Benny And The Jets battled on gamely to win on start number two and has similar credentials to fellow winner Obee Jo. Bold Show is one to keep a close eye on in the market.
