Got his act together since being stepped up in trip to 1m2f the last twice, placing on each occasion. The form of the first of those two efforts has recently been boosted, and he could progress again now upped to 1m4f.
Yard in excellent nick currently (4-9 in last 14 days; 44%), and while she has so far failed to make any impression in three starts this year, the step up in trip and switch to this sphere could work. Watch betting.
Produced three low-key efforts in maiden company last year without displaying obvious promise. Steps up from 1m to 1m4f on seasonal/handicap debut and the stable have been among the winners of late. Market the best guide to his chances.
Very disappointing over C&D last week when last of eight. Has no failed to show any sort of progress since switched to handicaps, and others have shown much more promise to suggest their chance isn't far off. Readily opposed.
Not beaten far into fourth on handicap/seasonal debut in a competitive affair at Chelmsford (1m2f; standard) last month. Upped in distance again with first-time cheekpieces added so could progress again off the same mark.
Latest effort was a solid one when he finished fifth on first try at this tip on handicap debut at Leicester (1m4f; good to firm). Would only need to take a marginal step forward to go close, and the first time cheekpieces could help with that.
Only ever raced on the tapeta surface at Newcastle over 7f/1m in three race career so far. Has had wind surgery recently and now steps up from 1m to 1m4f on his handicap debut. Difficult to know what to expect so the market may be the best guide.
Up in trip on handicap debut but she has failed to offer much promise at all in a trio of maiden/novice events so far. First-time tongue strap applied but a watching brief is advised for now.

Forecasts
Marie's Gem (6/5), Lord Warburton (11/4), Two Sox (7/1), Lion's Vigil (9/1), Brodick (10/1), Sea Of Maria (14/1), Home For Half Past (18/1), America First (20/1), Summerbridge (50/1)
Although she is yet to convince on the track, given the red-hot form of the Rae Guest yard it would be dangerous to dismiss Sea Of Maria who is open to improvement going from 1m to 1m4f on this handicap debut. Another one worth placing towards the top of any shortlist is Lord Warburton who displayed evident improvement for the switch to this grade when fourth at Chelmsford. The application of cheek-pieces and step up in trip may see him take another step forward. However, similar comments apply to MARIE'S GEM who has improved notably to produce two solid efforts the last twice and with the step up to 1m4f offering the hope of more to come he can take the finale.
- Marie's Gem
- Lord Warburton
- Sea Of Maria
