Sprang 33/1 surprise at Yarmouth last season only second start then ran respectably in mid-division of a valuable Newmarket Sales race only other outing. Seemed best at minimum trip last term so no surprise to see her start back here.
Beaten favourite three times in a row over 5f last term prior to getting head in front in Lingfield 5f novice stakes in September. Outclassed in Newmarket Group 3 only other start. Took keen hold a few times last season.
Moderate juvenile sprint form last season for Michael O'Callaghan in Ireland but won first two 5f AW starts for current handler during the winter. Probably better for spin at Haydock last week and has fitness on his side.
Won 5f nurseries and Pontefract and Ripon last July but struggled after off higher marks and stepped up to 6f. Return to minimum trip makes sense beat remains 6lb higher than last winning mark.
Placed once from five starts over 6f last term and gelded during the winter. Finished strongly on 5f debut at Kempton last week and looks a big danger if backing that up back on turf.
Odds-on Wolverhampton 5f novice stakes winner last November then well beaten odds-on again for handicap bow at Chelmsford in January. Gelded after. Didn't look happy when ran poorly at Kempton last week and now has first-time tongue-tie.
Stable companion of Agent Shiftwell. Clodovil gelding favourite on debut at Newbury in April 2019 but finished 6th of 9. Much better week after when second at Bath but not seen since. Joined current yard from Martyn Meade and makes handicap bow.
Forecasts
Garsman (2/1), Poets Dance (2/1), Roman Melody (4/1), Agent Shiftwell (12/1), Album (14/1), Intimate Moment (14/1), Infinite Grace (20/1)
ROMAN MELODY caught the eye as a future winner when finishing fast on first try at this trip at Kempton last week and that first run of the term may well have put him spot on for this. Both top weights Intimate Moment and Poets Dance showed fair form as juveniles beofre being found out in decent company and either could be dangerous if they have trained on to the same level. Album is interesting on only his third start and debuting for Stuart Williams so any market move would be worth noting. Garsman will be a popular choice after a spin at Haydock last week and he won't be far away.
