Arecibo^v²³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: K Shoemark| T: D O'Meara| OR: 102| D

28/1

Runner-up to a progressive sort in Listed class at Ascot in October and held his own well in some competitive hadnicaps towards the end of the summer; going to have to improve to mix it at this level though.

Dark Shot^p²³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: S Dixon| OR: 82| D

150/1

Hasn't won since 2016 and looks out of his depth up at this level. However, some of his better efforts have come on his seasonal reappearance down the years so might outrun his likely big odds to some extent if some of these aren't fully tuned up.

Far Above³³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: P J McDonald| T: J Tate| OR: 99

7/2

Bolted up by 5L in a Windsor novice event and made it three wins from four career starts when winning a Listed race at Deauville when last seen. Unexposed sprinter in good hands and this looks a realistic target for reappearance.

Judicial²⁰³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 109| CD

15/2

Has a remarkable strike-rate having won 13 of his 35 starts and C&D winner here last year. 20/1 Listed winner on AW last time and capable at this level as seen when winning a Sandown Group 3 a couple of years ago; interesting contender.

Major Jumbo²⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 107| D

11/2

C&D winner, talented sprinter, beaten just 2L in this last year and went on to win in Listed class at Chester. At his very best over further and needs some cut in the ground if he can be considered here.

Form: 239170-

Moss Gill⁸⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: James Doyle| T: J D Bethell| OR: 105| D

4/1

Won three races last year and didn't need to improve to win a three runner race at Wolverhampton on return in March. Still unexposed and there should be more to come but this is a big step up in class.

Form: 12219-1

Ornate²⁵⁹

28/1

C&D winner on seasonal reappearance last year and went on to win the Epsom Dash. Lost his way towards the end of the campaign and will have better chances in handicaps.

Form: 630768-

The Cruising Lord²⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: David Egan| T: M J Attwater| OR: 95

50/1

Winner at Bath on seasonal reappearance last year and career best when placing in Listed company at Sandown. However, has looked a bit flattered by that run subsequently and not obvious signs he can mix it at this level.

Form: 925909-

(2)

Well Done Fox³⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: S De Sousa| T: R Hannon| OR: 100| BF| D

22/1

Useful juvenile, winning two Listed races and finishing runner-up in a C&D Group 3. However, didn't look as if he had trained on in his two runs last year and plenty to prove at present.

Form: 1220/75-

(7)

Hareem Queen¹⁰⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: K R Burke| OR: 96| D

18/1

Useful on AW winning four of her last six starts including a Listed race at Lingfield last time out. Lightly raced and unexposed on turf but will have to raise her game if she is to be in with a chance here.

Form: 112-311

(3)

Queens Gift^p²⁶⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Dods| OR: 100| D

12/1

Back-to-back winner in Class 4 handicaps last year prior to taking her form to a new level when runner-up to Judicial in Listed class in the Beverley Bullet. Possibly even better when beaten a head at Doncaster last time and looks progressive.

Form: 201122-

Shades Of Blue²⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 105| D

10/3

Smart mare who won a Listed race in France prior to a host of placed efforts at Pattern level; found the Abbaye too tough last time but may resume progress back down in class here and looks a nice prospect.

Forecasts

Shades Of Blue (10/3), Far Above (7/2), Moss Gill (4/1), Major Jumbo (11/2), Judicial (15/2), Queens Gift (12/1), Tarboosh (12/1), Hareem Queen (18/1), Well Done Fox (22/1), Arecibo (28/1), Ornate (28/1), The Cruising Lord (50/1), Dark Shot (150/1)

Michael Dods excels with his sprinters and the mare QUEENS GIFT may be able to resume progress after a promising four-year-old campaign when twice placed in Listed company. Shades Of Blue is another filly going the right way and can be forgiven her effort in the Abbaye when last seen. Judicial is always thereabouts at this level while Far Above has an unexposed profile and could be a sprinter to follow for the season.
