Making his first start since a gelding operation when finishing 2¾L fifth in a seven runner 1m event on handicap debut at Chelmsford in February. Cheekpieces tried for the first time stepping up in trip.
Signs of ability when fourth in a 1m maiden at this track in December but struggled on debut for this yard over the same C&D subsequently. Stamina to prove with cheekpieces tried for the first time on handicap debut.
Failed to build on a promising fifth over 1m at Kempton on debut last October in two subsequent starts. Worth a check in the market with this step up in trip likely to suit on first start in handicap company.
Six race maiden finished well beaten in a 7f handicap at Kempton last September. Cheekpieces tried for the first time and step up in trip not certain to suit on debut for a new yard.
Well held sixth in a 1m novice contest at Kempton last November. Better effort when fourth over 7f at the same venue prior to that and market support would be notable stepping up in distance and switched to handicaps.
Seven race maiden ended last season with a decent third over an extended 1m at Nottingham (heavy) in November. Interesting to see how he fares upped in distance off a 1lb lower mark with cheekpieces added for the first time.
Maiden after five starts and ran well when finishing 1¾L third over this C&D in January. Below that form upped to 1m4f in first time cheekpieces (retained) here subsequently and better expected on this occasion.
Decent effort in finishing 3L fifth in a 1m handicap at this venue in February. Sent off favourite that day and market support would be notable with cheekpieces tried for the first time stepping up in trip.
Well held in three starts in novice company most recently when 13L last of seven over 7f here in February. Bred to appreciate this step up in trip and interesting to see how she performs on her first start in handicaps.
Battled to a short-head triumph in a 7f handicap at Southwell in January but could finish only fifth when beaten 4¾L over 1m at the same venue three days later. Well held on his only previous attempt at this distance.
13 race maiden has placed on two of her last three starts including when beaten 3½L into third in a selling event over an extended 1m at Wolverhampton in February. Well drawn here and is interesting upped in trip.
Failed to figure in three starts in novice company to date including when 13½L eighth of nine over 1m here in January. Worth a check in the market upped in distance on handicap debut.
Forecasts
Prince Percy (5/2), Union Spirit (9/2), Golden Cygnet (5/1), Lady Magda (17/2), Global Agreement (10/1), Beat The Breeze (11/1), Sea of Cool (14/1), Aqrab (20/1), Anyonewhohadaheart (22/1), Crazy Love (25/1), Birkie Queen (40/1), Champagne Highlife (66/1)
Trainer Ralph Beckett can boast a 28% strike-rate (7/25) of late and his GOLDEN CYGNET is taken to make a winning handicap debut in this 1m2f event. The selection showed ability in his final two starts at two and looks likely to appreciate this step up in trip. Second place can go to Birkie Queen who ran well when placed in a selling event on her most recent start and she is another stepping up in distance while Union Spirit can take third on his second start since being gelded.
- Golden Cygnet
- Birkie Queen
- Union Spirit
