28/1
Debutant by Fountain Of Youth who cost €17,000 at the breeze-ups. Half-brother a seven race maiden and dam also a maiden so doesn't leap off the page here.

28/1
Newcomer by Coach House out of a 5f-6f winner (inc AW). Already gelded and probably best watched.

11/2
Fountain Of Youth gelding who cost £35,000. Plugged on for sixth of nine at Newcastle on debut in December. Must improve now but highly likely to.

50/1
Filly by Coach House out of a maiden on the Flat and over hurdles. Little to suggest her a likely newcomer.

250/1
Hellvelyn filly; has failed to beat a single rival in two starts on turf (5f-6f); simply can't be the solution.

11/1
Placed in three 6f-7f races on AW this winter for trainer Archie Watson. Obviously quite exposed now by comparison with rivals but certainly brings among the best form and looks nailed on to go close.

4/5
Well bred filly finished a close fourth of six on debut at Doncaster over 7f way back in June last year. First three home all won since so form rock solid and given connections she can be expected to be fit enough and could well be the answer here.

25/1
Unplaced in four races in France although clearly didn't stay 1m½f latest after going up 2f in trip. Not the strongest race this so market can be used as a guide.

Age: 3|  Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Robinson| T: Mrs Stella Barclay
150/1
Hellvelyn newcomer out of a 1m2f winner so may just need a greater test of stamina and yard record suggests her best watched.

Helmet House19
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-0| J: Theodore Ladd(3)| T: M Appleby
150/1
Well beaten on debut at Newcastle and subsequently at Southwell and looks a long term handicap prospect.

Mukhadram Way18
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-0| J: B A Curtis| T: Phillip Makin
7/2
Daughter of Mukhadram kept on well and was beaten just ¾L into fourth of seven over this trip on debut at Newcastle. That form among the best on offer and she is certainly a leading player with improvement expected.

Forecasts

Dancing Feet (4/5), Mukhadram Way (7/2), Ventura Rascal (11/2), Buy Me Back (11/1), Danse De La Lune (25/1), Aces N Kings (28/1), Gherkin (28/1), Along Comes Mary (50/1), Franbella (150/1), Helmet House (150/1), Belle Voci (250/1)

Verdict

Although she's been off the track since June DANCING FEET gets the vote. Her Doncaster fourth has worked out well and the fact that she is trained by Archie Watson means fitness is trusted to be sufficient. Mukhadram Way ran an eye-catching race on debut and Buy Me Back has placed three times so they look the dangers.
