Palladium³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: M Meade| OR: 73

7/2

Just slight progress in five starts but he's already proving reliable. Didn't get a straightforward run at first try at this far when finishing second and likely has more to come. Should improve with time and a first win shouldn't be far away.

Form: 37-242

Australis⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian| OR: 72

10/3

Raced three times over 1m2f with a clear best on his second start at Wetherby. His latest effort is best forgiven after missing the break in a slowly run race and a potential improver on handicap debut up in distance.

Form: 025

Young Merlin²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Adam J McNamara| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 72

18/1

Gelded son of Camelot posted a career best when third off this mark over 1m4f on the AW latest. Needs to prove that he needs this extra stamina test and has proved underwhelming in two turf starts so far.

Form: 955-63

L'Un Deux Trois³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Cameron Noble⁽³⁾| T: M L W Bell| OR: 71

10/1

Struggled badly in much stronger company last time but his previous run suggested there's more to come at this trip. Could well bounce back for stable very much in form.

Form: 946-428

Soloist^p²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: D Tudhope| T: W J Haggas| OR: 69

9/2

Has improved with every start culminating in a second over 1m3f at Carlisle last month. Hit the line as though this extra distance will only improve her and the race was run in a fast time. Leading contender.

Form: 07772

Hidden Pearl¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: G Mosse| T: E Walker| OR: 67

25/1

Fourth in a 1m novice race at Newmarket (good) last October and matched that level when a well held sixth at Lingfield on recent handicap debut. Looked one paced and improvement needed.

Form: 647-6

Message⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J Quinn| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 66

6/1

Eight-race maiden but runner-up in his last four starts over 1m4f. His run over this trip in between those efforts does raise stamina doubts but he's proving consistent for an in form stable.

Form: 522422

Perique^t1⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: R Havlin| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 60

100/1

Has struggled in four starts to date and tailed off on recent handicap debut. Up in trip again but very hard to make a case for.

Form: 7478

Land Of Oz⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 58| BF

9/2

Typical type for the stable, stepped up considerably to this trip with an improved fourth on season reappearance. Didn't get a clear run and would have appreciated a stronger pace. Potential big improver with that run behind him.

Form: 608-4

Forecasts

Australis (10/3), Palladium (7/2), Land Of Oz (9/2), Soloist (9/2), Message (6/1), L'Un Deux Trois (10/1), Young Merlin (18/1), Hidden Pearl (25/1), Perique (100/1)

SOLOIST represents a stable who only improves their runners with time and her latest second suggests there's a lot more to come up to this distance. Land Of Oz could well improve again at this trip and rates a big danger. Better is expected for L'Un Deux Trois for a trainer going well.
