2/5

Took a big step forwards to get off the mark over 1m3.5f at Windsor on just his fifth start. Caught the eye drawing powerfully clear in a fast time and should have more to offer over this extra distance. Leading player off 5lb higher.

Form: 503-621

Dante's View¹³

11/4

Galileo colt finished third in his first three starts and then second on handicap debut at Catterick in a visor (removed). Didn't look the easiest of rides late on and this would require a touch more moving outside his age group.

Sempre Presto¹⁹

17/2

Both career wins have come at Pontefract and went close there again on season reappearance. Slowly getting back to that sort of level with a latest second at Leicester. Capable of being involved.

Forecasts

Fantastic Blue (2/5), Dante's View (11/4), Matewan (11/4), Wolf Prince (7/1), Sempre Presto (17/2)

Hard to know where the pace will come from and there is a danger this could turn into a tactical affair. Sempre Presto is on a winning mark and looks to be coming back towards her best. She is vulnerable to an improver and Matewan is an obvious challenger after taking another step forwards in his latest success. FANTASTIC BLUE was really impressive at Windsor and he could be ahead of the handicapper as he moves towards an optimum distance.
