Has won over both 1m2f and 1m4f (AW) and although he is yet to break his duck on turf, he matched his best effort over this trip at Salisbury last time (good to firm). Same mark here, and a big player if coming up with a similar effort.
Multiple AW winner at up to 2m and has also scored over this trip on turf (good to firm). Produced a decent effort from today's mark on last month's reappearance at Doncaster and enters calculations.
Turf winner on good to soft (7f) last year, and has since won two fillies' handicaps over 1m3f/1m4½f on AW. Has stamina to prove over this far, but if she stays then she has the form to be competitive.
Latest win came over hurdles, and hasn't won in this code since 2018, when on today's mark. Well beaten in both starts since returning to the Flat (both AW) and needs a big turnaround to win this.
Multiple winner at up to 1m4f, but well held in two runs last month and needs to be in much better form than that to score after just a 1lb drop.
Went close on his second juvenile start at Bath (1m2f, good to firm) in 2018, but held next time and then off the track until this month. Made a respectable return in view of that, and is interesting now stepped up significantly in trip.
Won turf handicaps over 1m2f/1m3½f in 2018, both on good to soft. Has since added to AW wins. Respectable effort when stepped up to 1m5½f at Newbury last time and can't rule him out from the same mark.
Dual winner at up to 1m7½f on good/good to soft. Ran well at Chepstow last time (2m, good) and is being given a chance again by the handicapper here after being dropped another 2lb. Probable contender.
Turf win came over 1m½f on good ground, though has twice scored over 1m4f on AW since then. Made the frame from today's mark at Lingfield last time, but is capable of better than that, and is not ruled out back on this surface.
15-race maiden under both codes. Stepped up in trip to good effect at Newbury last time, when just over 1L third (1m5½f, good to soft), but more needed up 1lb and in a better race.
Forecasts
Sashenka (10/3), Craster (9/2), Zuba (11/2), Kings Royal Hussar (13/2), Monjeni (8/1), Shifting Gold (17/2), Fibonacci (9/1), Blue Medici (22/1), Tralee Hills (22/1), Archimento (28/1)
Fibonacci has slipped to a mark from which it is possible to see him winning again, while Shifting Gold, Tralee Hills, Monjeni and Zuba are others for whom cases can be made. However, CRASTER made a nice enough return after a lengthy absence last time and looks the most interesting runner here now upped in trip.
- Craster
- Fibonacci
- Monjeni
