Successful twice in class 3 turf handicaps over this trip early last season but yet to fire in 3 runs this term. Has tumbled in the weights at least.
Had been thriving with 4 wins in 5 starts in handicaps before another switch of yards and his saddle slipped when disappointing at Sandown last week. This could be too tough.
Dual winner at Kempton over 1m a year ago and she's been in good form, finishing well in a decent-looking Wolverhampton handicap last time. Nudged back up 3 lb and tackles new trip now.
Much improved when opening account in 1m Lingfield AW novice when last seen in February, looking quite impressive once in full flow. Longer trip/switch to turf/a likely stronger pace all plusses here.
Progressive colt who won 8.6f handicap at Wolverhampton in June and ran well in stronger Sandown event over this trip 6 weeks ago, just failing. Nudged up another 2 lb.
Shaping up well in novice/maidens, plugging away for fourth at Ripon (1m) last month. This trip will suit on handicap debut and he could do better.

Forecasts
Amir Kabir (15/8), Tombolo (11/4), Pitcher's Point (3/1), Rosa Gold (5/1), Image Of The Moon (11/2), Dublin Pharaoh (11/2), Alfred Boucher (7/1), Lunar Jet (9/1), Clem A (14/1), Canal Rocks (14/1), Balgair (14/1)
A number of improving 3-y-os here and they could fight it out, with the promising DUBLIN PHARAOH taken to end the winning run of thriving filly Rosa Gold. Roger Varian's charge impressed once finding his rhythm at Lingfield back in February and the longer trip, switch to turf, and likelihood of a well-run race are all in his favour now. Tombolo and Pitcher's Point are others to note.
- DUBLIN PHARAOH (USA)
- ROSA GOLD
- TOMBOLO (FR)
