Isobar Wind^b²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: B A Curtis| T: P D Evans| OR: 67| D

7/2

Pushed out when winning for the second time on Tapeta at Wolverhampton (2-2) in mid-December (1m½f claiming stakes); is more than capable of being positively involved in this Class 6 handicap if taking to the Fibresand surface.

Interrupted Dream²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Toby Eley⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 65| D

11/1

Made all when winning a Kempton nursery (7f) on his final start for Mark Johnston; no extra deep inside the final furlong here (1m) on debut for Gay Kelleway subsequently (bought for £13,000); disappointing more latterly.

Form: 451208-

Leg It Lenny^p,t⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 62

13/2

Seven-race maiden; was beaten less than 2L (third) by Surrajah at Chelmsford (7f) on his penultimate start - the actual worth of that form is questionable; was hampered at the start at Kempton (7f) on Wednesday; is making his Fibresand debut.

Form: 59353-7

Constitutional²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Harrison Shaw⁽³⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 62| D

2/1

Much improved when springing a 33-1 shock at Newcastle (7f) in September; has continued in reasonable shape during the month of December - reeled in late on by the Mick Appleby-trained Speed Merchant here (6f) latest; holds an obvious chance.

Form: 917932-

(4)

Casaruan⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Theodore Ladd⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 51

8/1

A seemingly modest Casamento colt; lost his place from halfway on handicap debut here (5f) last week; on pedigree appeals as the type to do better over this longer trip; improvement required.

Form: 790-7

(2)

Sea of Cool^p⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Darragh Keenan⁽³⁾| T: J Ryan| OR: 48| BF

4/1

Disqualified (rider failed to draw the correct weight) after finishing second over 1m here on his penultimate start; turned over at short odds (10-11f) in a 1m classified stakes here on Tuesday.

Form: 5055D-5

Forecasts

Constitutional (2/1), Isobar Wind (7/2), Sea of Cool (4/1), Leg It Lenny (13/2), Casaruan (8/1), Interrupted Dream (11/1)

A low-key opener in which three of the six declared runners (Leg It Lenny, Sea of Cool and Casaruan) are turned out swiftly following recent efforts. Meanwhile, despite only landing a claiming stakes at Wolverhampton in December, the Dave Evans-trained Isobar Wind looks more than capable of being involved if taking to this Fibresand surface. However, with Karl Burke's string in fine form on the AW lately the safer option is probably CONSTITUTIONAL.
