Arabescato¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Angus Villiers⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Littmoden| OR: 56

10/1

Didn't achieve anything of great significance in novice races (7f-1m); switches to handicapping at a realistic level but with plenty of improvement needed; others preferred.

Camacho Man¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: J Candlish| OR: 55| BF

11/2

Nine-race maiden; 3lb higher than when finishing 2¼L second to Ventura Destiny at Newcastle (7f) three starts back; stamina a slight doubt; is considered as a possible player nevertheless.

Form: 949245

(7)

Goddess Of Fire^p¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: A McCarthy| T: J Ryan| OR: 55

7/2

Sprung a surprise (33-1) when off the mark at Chelmsford (1m2f) in October; met trouble in the run when a keeping on third over C&D ten days ago; competes from the same mark (55) today; chance.

Form: 777133

(9)

Ami Li Bert¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: B A Curtis| T: M Appleby| OR: 53

13/2

Beat today's rivals Never Said Nothing (second) and Goddess Of Fire (third) when winning in the mud at Nottingham (1m2f, heavy) on his penultimate start; the Jonathan Portman-trained gelding reversed that form at Southwell next time.

Form: 559714

(11)

Prairie Moppins¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: S Kirk| OR: 52

Has eased 7lb in the weights since introduced to handicapping; weakened inside the final furlong when finishing in the ruck in a seller at Lingfield (1m) 17 days ago.

Form: 094065

(5)

Boy George²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: L Morris| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 51

16/1

Brought his record to 0-6 when finishing seventh of 12 to Bavardages in a 1m Class 6 nursery at Chelmsford three weeks ago; has eased another 4lb in the handicap since.

Form: 064067

(3)

Cappella Fella²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: David Probert| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 48

20/1

Wasn't beaten all that far (less than 3L) when sixth of ten to Schumli (Camacho Man fourth) on nursery debut here (7f) last month; it's debatable as to whether or not this extra yardage will suit but remains low-mileage.

Form: 6886

(4)

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Shane Foley| T: J A Osborne| OR: 48

8/1

Eight-race maiden; has picked up slightly since wind surgery; 2lb higher than when runner up to Bavardages at Chelmsford (1m) three weeks ago.

Form: 657362

Forecasts

Never Said Nothing (3/1), Goddess Of Fire (7/2), Camacho Man (11/2), Ami Li Bert (13/2), Halfacrown (8/1), Arabescato (10/1), Master Rocco (12/1), Boy George (16/1), Cappella Fella (20/1), Prairie Moppins (33/1), Brown Eyes Blue (50/1)

A moderate opener in which no strong opinion is formed. Related form lines present themselves in terms of assessing Ami Li Bert, Never Said Nothing and Goddess Of Fire. Similarly the selection CAPPELLA FELLA can be loosely assessed through John Ryan's filly (Goddess Of Fire). Sarah Hollinshead's Cappella Sansevero gelding undoubtedly must prove his stamina over this extended 1m1f, but at the projected odds this low-mileage juvenile wouldn't have a massive amount to find with his aforementioned shorter-priced rival, so could be worth chancing from a handy berth in stall 3.
