Prince Of Harts¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: B R Millman| OR: 75

4/1

Just steady progress in three starts last year but improved to win on reappearance and handicap debut at Wolverhampton. Not disgraced in a tougher race at Sandown when unsuited my 1m2f. Conditions an unknown but respected down in grade.

Form: 055-16

Lightning Attack^p²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 75

8/1

Nine-race maiden but showed plenty of promise when showing a clear preference for soft and heavy ground last season. Went close on reappearance before disappointing at Beverley but has shaped as though this trip will suit and ground a plus.

Form: 2303-20

Brawny^h1¹⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon⁽⁷⁾| T: C Hills| OR: 75

14/1

Dark Angel colt went through the sales ring for 200,000 gns last October. Gelded for reappearance and handicap debut but would need to find some improvement off this opening mark in a first-time hood.

Form: 578-

Jack Berry House^t³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes| OR: 75

11/1

A shock 80/1 winner on debut at Newcastle for Mick Easterby back in October. Improved on reappearance for new stable when not far off winning form at Kempton last month. Handicap and turf debut and on a fair opening mark if handling conditions.

Form: 1-44

Glory¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 74

13/2

Several promising efforts as a juvenile, but was out of his depth on final start in a valuable sales race at Doncaster. Should be fitter for two solid enough runs back and placed off 6lb higher at Newmarket last year but ground an obvious unknown.

Form: 2520-44

Barbarosa^p1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽⁵⁾| T: B J Meehan| OR: 73

9/1

A €78,000 yearling by Holy Roman Emperor who showed promise in last two of three races a juvenile. Disappointed on handicap and season debut and hood now replaced by cheekpieces. Down in grade but more required now.

Form: 725-8

(3)

Ellheidi^p1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 73

22/1

Two solid seconds at Haydock from four starts last year and excuses when tried in Listed company. Should be fitter for reappearance but needs to get back to her best to be involved back in a handicap. Up in trip and cheekpieces added.

Form: 2927-5

Gleeful¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 71

9/2

Daughter of Pivotal has raced to a similar standard in four starts to date including on handicap and season debut. Kept on over 7f as though this trip should bring further improvement. Ground an unknown factor but a clear danger for an in form yard.

Form: 344-4

Castle Quarter²¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: George Wood| T: S Spencer| OR: 70

20/1

Gelded son of Zoffany bought for €20,000 as a yearling last September. Placed in two of three novice starts for John Quinn last year but improvement needed on handicap and stable debut. Worth a check in the market.

Form: 363-

Soul Searching⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: J Tate| OR: 68

33/1

Iffraaj filly returned from a long absence from sole run last year with a solid second over 7f at Wolverhampton on reappearance. Disappointing next time over the same C&D and more needed now on handicap debut.

Form: 7-29

(6)

Here's Rocco³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: D C Costello| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 67

33/1

Probably flattered by the slow pace when fifth at Redcar in October and poor in two previous runs and on handicap and season debut. Hard to fancy.

Form: 005-8

(9)

Cardano¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: M Dwyer| T: Ian Williams| OR: 65

5/1

47,000gns yearling but sold for 38,000gns in October 2018. Left two poor runs behind and returned to the promise of his debut when when third on soft ground at Haydock on handicap debut. Up 3lb but likely has more to offer in these conditions.

Forecasts

Lethal Missile (7/2), Prince Of Harts (4/1), Gleeful (9/2), Cardano (5/1), Glory (13/2), Lightning Attack (8/1), Onebaba (8/1), Barbarosa (9/1), Jack Berry House (11/1), Brawny (14/1), Castle Quarter (20/1), Ellheidi (22/1), Soul Searching (33/1), Here's Rocco (33/1)

There's a few in here where the ground is an unknown, including Gleeful, however the extra distance is at least in her favour. Cardano looked well suited by soft on his handicap debut and can improve now. LETHAL MISSILE is rapidly progressing and his latest two runs have been backed up by solid times.
