Debut winner of a fillies' conditions event at Chester (7f, good) last August, which was a very promising effort. Wasn't ready for Group 3 company on her only subsequent run, but has potential for more from this mark. Very interesting.

Improved with each run last year (all 1m, good or soft) and went very close in the last of those at York in October. Since gelded and looks to have got in off a very fair initial mark. No surprise to see him go very close again.

Showed some ability despite not winning until his fifth start last year (first after being gelded; AW/7f). Improved on that in the winter months, despite not winning again, and can't rule him out if transferring that form back to turf.

Placed in four of her six starts but remains a maiden. Easily her best effort was on her second start, when 1¼L runner-up in a Sandown Listed event. Unable to go on from there. Big player if back at that level, but has that to prove.

Improved significantly on his first two efforts when scoring at Southwell (7f, AW) last October. Below that level and held on only subsequent run in a Newmarket nursery (heavy ground possible excuse). Now gelded and drops 2lb. Interesting.

Improved to score on his third start at Carlisle (1m, good to soft) last September, and wasn't far off that form when 2L third of four at Ripon later that month. Since gelded and returns 1lb lower, so definitely not ruled out.

Kept stepping up in each of his first few runs to score on his fourth at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) in August. Matched that at Nottingham (6f, heavy) when last seen in October. Can't write him off, but more needed resuming up 1lb.

Forecasts

Arch Moon (5/2), Tafish (10/3), Strawman (7/2), Phuket Power (13/2), Jm Jackson (17/2), Al Rasmah (12/1), Mr Jones And Me (14/1), Ralphy Boy Two (20/1), Anniemation (20/1)

Verdict

Jm Jackson returns for an in-form stable and would have huge claims if able to repeat her Listed second. She could make a mockery of this but does still have to prove she can find that level again, and so we'll side with AL RASMAH, who wasn't ready for Group company when last seen, but may have more to come from this mark. Arch Moon and Tafish are others who could go very well.
  1. Al Rasmah
  2. Arch Moon
  3. Jm Jackson
