Arabian Moon²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 79

9/2

Handicap debutante who finished a fair second to an above-average newcomer at Doncaster last time (7f, good/firm). Looks like the type to do better as a 3yo but should have enough to offer to make his presence felt in this sphere.

Form: 322

Sir Arthur Dayne^v¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: M R Channon| OR: 77

9/2

Lingfield nursery winner (7f, good/firm) who has since failed to win but did well when upped to this trip at Ayr last time in better company (best of those held up). Looks up to defying this sort of mark if he can handle conditions.

Form: 124853

Jim 'n' Tomic³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Shepherd| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 75

25/1

Well held last time (first-time cheekpieces) as he returned from a wind op having previously looked a quirky sort. Looked far from straightforward last time steps up significantly in trip (most form at 6f) making his handicap debut, limited appeal.

Form: 7D60

Rocket Dancer³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Cieren Fallon⁽³⁾| T: S Kirk| OR: 74| BF

11/1

Didn't quite hit the mark last time but his prior two starts (one on soft) showed that he had ability and would be of interest in this sphere. Related to a couple of useful sorts he's not overburdened here on balance; one for the shortlist.

Form: 526

Wild Hero²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 73

11/4

Made some steady improvement in three runs so far without looking as though he was going to burst into life anytime soon. Makes his handicap debut, should progress further without really looking a threat to the main players in this.

Form: 054

Three Fans⁴⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 73

15/2

Yet to match his debut promise having run to a fair level over 6f at Haydock on that occasion; well below form last time. Steps up in trip for his handicap debut on the worst ground that he will have faced, others preferred at this stage.

Form: 434

Talap^p¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 72

7/2

Found plenty of improvement in first-time cheekpieces last time easily bettering the level of performance he had shown in his first two starts. Did enough in that 7f Redcar maiden to think that he could be an influence in handicaps in the near future

Form: 553

(8)

Party Potential^v1²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-0| J: Ryan Powell| T: A King| OR: 57

50/1

Just out of the handicap with a visor reached for after turning in a lacklustre display on his first handicap start. Had looked rather lazy on that occasion; may do better now he's in headgear over a longer trip, still faces a stiff task.

Form: 9060

Forecasts

Wild Hero (11/4), Talap (7/2), Sir Arthur Dayne (9/2), Arabian Moon (9/2), Three Fans (15/2), Rocket Dancer (11/1), Jim 'n' Tomic (25/1), Party Potential (50/1)

There looks to be some potential amongst the field but with no real testing ground form to go on backers are advised to tread carefully. Sir Arthur Dayne is one of the leading players on form so far having plenty of experience in this sphere and he ran a very sound third in a better class race at Ayr last time. He has to be a danger but a chance is taken with ROCKET DANCER who makes his handicap debut off a decent mark with the promise of more to come, his owner (Jeff Smith) holds a strong hand as he also runs Arabian Moon. He steps up to 1m for the first time and has promised more in this sphere along with another handicap newcomer in Talap, his Redcar third looks reasonable form.
