Nat Love²⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Gollings| OR: 70

33/1

Fairly consistent in the early days of his juvenile career including twice bing placed at Chjelmsford; comfortably won maiden auction at Epsom in August before struggling in handicaps on last three starts; market moves would be interesting.

Form: 241665-

Mr Shady^p⁹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Liam Keniry| T: J S Moore| OR: 70| CD

25/1

Off the mark at the eighth time of asking when upped in trip over course and distance in January; decent latest effort on the AW at Deauville in February puts him right in the mix.

Form: 2-61732

(3)

Richard R H B⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: D Loughnane| OR: 69

7/2

Has proved more effective on the AW with four decent efforts at Wolverhampton since October including winning over 7f in November; fair effort latest when stepped up to near this trip; decent chance if taking to this surface.

Form: 64613-4

Webuyanyhorse²³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Nicola Currie| T: J A Osborne| OR: 69

40/1

Has shown some promise but is still without a win from five starts; could well come into his own as a three-year-old are should not be left out of calculations.

Form: 55467-

(2)

Sefton Warrior¹⁹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: S Donohoe| T: R Spencer| OR: 69

5/1

Steady rather than spectacular perfromnces as a two-year-old; best effort arguably at Wolverhampton in October; hard to assess here on handicap debut but has scope.

Form: 847-

(7)

Punting¹⁷⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 69

8/1

Showed plenty of promise on her debut at Kempton in November before readily winning next time out at Wolverhampton the following month; definitely one to consider if showing more improvement.

Form: 41-

(11)

Trinity Girl²¹²

5/1

Produced three competent performances at as juvenile, twice at Newcastle and once at Wolverhampton; did start favourite on all her starts and perhaps this step up in trip will reward her backers at the fourth time of asking.

Form: 234-

(10)

Herodotus²⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Joshua Bryan⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 68

25/1

Showed plenty of promise on debut at Brighton In September before failing to settle when well beaten at the same track the following month; obviously has promise but perhaps best watched on handicap debut.

Form: 25-

(9)

Vischio¹²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J G Portman| OR: 68

16/1

Seemed to improve for each outing last year liking to race up with the pace; needs to show more improvement to get competitive but should be winning races before too long.

Form: 7-54

(1)

Dancing Approach¹⁷⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Adam J McNamara| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 68

16/1

Put poor debut run (ran green) behind her with two competent efforts at Wolverhampton and Chelmsford; would not need to improve too much to be involved and difficult not to consider.

Form: 044-

(4)

Pawpaw¹⁷²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: C G Cox| OR: 67

8/1

Did not show too much promise in debut season with best effort coming on debut at Kempton in October; could well have improved over the winter and any market support would be interesting.

Form: 588-

(8)

Lexington Warfare⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 67

8/1

Has had plenty of chances to get his head in front but seems to be lacking in a finish; fair reappearance run at Wolverhampton in March showed he retains his form well and looks one to note if improving again.

Form: 34803-3

Forecasts

Richard R H B (7/2), Trinity Girl (5/1), Sefton Warrior (5/1), Punting (8/1), Pawpaw (8/1), Lexington Warfare (8/1), Vischio (16/1), Dancing Approach (16/1), Mr Shady (25/1), Herodotus (25/1), Nat Love (33/1), Webuyanyhorse (40/1)

A chance is taken here on WEBUYANYHORSE who although failed to get his head in front from five outings last year, ran with plenty of promise on a number of occasions including at this track in August. The gelding will need to settle better than he has done in the past but looks to have a fair draw. Richard R H B rarely runs a poor race and while more exposed than plenty of his rivals should give a good account of himself if taking to this surface.. Lexington Warfare would not need to improve to much on his placed efforts on his last two starts at Wolverhampton to run a big race.
