Enhanced³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Charlie Bennett| T: H Morrison| OR: 71

6/1

Well beaten in three starts to date but there was a bit more promise in her third run at Leicester last time out. Should appreciate this longer trip on handicap debut and one to watch in the market here.

Form: 0-04

Nathanielhawthorne^h⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Aaron Jones⁽³⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 70

16/1

Has raced three times at Wolverhampton and it was an improved effort on third start when third of 11 in a maiden last time. Has a fair opening handicap mark here.

Form: 853

Starlight Red²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: P Hanagan| T: C Hills| OR: 69

33/1

Well beaten in all three starts and well out of her depth in a Listed race at Chester last time. Yard flying but she needs to do much more on handicap debut here.

Form: 9-30

(11)

Manton Warrior³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes| OR: 66

9/1

Well beaten on all five starts and has shown nothing in two starts in handicap company, including on debut for this yard at Yarmouth last time. Steps up in trip here but best watched at present.

Form: 7086-8

Message⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 66

9/1

Some promise on third start when fifth of 11 at Wolverhampton last month in maiden company. Well bred and likely capable of better at some stage.

Form: 745

Robert Fitzroy^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: M L W Bell| OR: 65

3/1

Showed some promise in a couple of his five starts and best effort yet in first-time cheekpieces at Wolverhampton last time. Dropped 2lb and not without an each-way squeak if the headgear has the same effect.

Form: 667-74

(10)

Lincoln Tale¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 65| D

7/2

Showed promise in novice company and improved from a fair effort on seasonal bow at Wetherby to win a Beverley handicap last time when stepped up in trip. Up 5lb for that but should have more to offer for a yard in form.

Form: 946-31

(4)

Craneur²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: H Crouch| T: H J L Dunlop| OR: 64

16/1

Gelded during the winter and beaten just 2¼L when finishing sixth of 11 over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton on handicap debut last time out. Interesting stepping up in distance and dropped 2lb.

Form: 847-6

(12)

West Newton^p²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Watson| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 63

12/1

Well beaten in four starts on AW but some promise in first-time cheekpieces on turf debut at Wetherby last time. Dropped 1lb and back in trip so may do better.

Form: 50-984

(7)

Darwin Dream^p1³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P Cosgrave| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 63

25/1

Well beaten on each of his three starts and sold for 10,000 gns since his most recent effort. Habitual slow starter who needs to improve for the step up in trip and first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 9-66

(5)

Achaeus⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: B A Curtis| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 61

33/1

Beaten a long way in four starts to date including his handicap debut last time at Wolverhampton; has plenty to prove at present. Turf debut.

Form: 54-96

(9)

What Will Be⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Sean Davis⁽⁵⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 61| BF

6/1

Yet to win in six starts but has produced some better efforts of late, particularly at Newcastle last time out. Useful 5lb claimer booked and may have an each-way chance if he can build on that run on turf debut here.

Form: 077-433

Forecasts

Robert Fitzroy (3/1), Lincoln Tale (7/2), Enhanced (6/1), What Will Be (6/1), Message (9/1), Manton Warrior (9/1), West Newton (12/1), Craneur (16/1), Nathanielhawthorne (16/1), Darwin Dream (25/1), Starlight Red (33/1), Achaeus (33/1)

A tricky puzzle with several of these making their handicap debut but preference is for LINCOLN TALE who got her head in front last time out and only has a 5lb rise to cope with. Enhanced could be one who improves for the step up in trip while West Newton showed more last time out in first-time headgear.
