6/4
Won with a bit in hand on his only run for Jeremy Noseda, at York in May 2019 (5f, good to firm). Since gelded and changed hands privately. Returns from over a year off, but freshness doesn't appear a problem. Big player under a penalty.

3/1
Has been improving steadily without yet managing to win. Best effort came on his recent return to action at Newcastle (5f, AW), when showing a good attitude in third. Has run well here. Should be competitive again.

Seventh foal; brother to 6f 2yo winner Flos Melody, half-brother to three more sprint winners, the best being Threes Grand. Wears hood on debut, and although bred for this, probably one to watch unless market vibes strong.

9/4
Didn't race at two, but is making up for that and this is his third start of the season already. Improved for his debut when held in second over C&D last time. Can't write him off, but needs a fair step up on that.

11/1
10-1 and dwelt at the start on debut over C&D earlier in the month, when she was getting the hang of things late on and managed to make the frame. Should come on for that, but may have to wait for other days.

Well held in 5f novice events both here and at Ripon in spring 2019. Returns from a 13-month absence with a watching brief advised.

Went off at triple figure odds in two runs for Noel Wilson last autumn, being held in both, but improving second time at Newcastle (7f, AW). Since changed hands and now tackles a stiff 5f on stable debut. Watching brief advised.

Forecasts

Bomb Proof (6/4), Silver Sniper (9/4), Araifjan (3/1), Dandy Story (11/1), Star Prize (28/1), Shackabooah (40/1), Evora Knights (66/1), Nostalgic Air (200/1)

Verdict

Provided he returns in something like the same form as he showed when scoring at York last year, then it is hard to oppose BOMB PROOF to make it 2-2, despite his penalty. Should he failed to fire then Araifjan can probably mop up, while Silver Sniper is taken to emerge next best.
