Craved

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas

11/4

Kodiac gelding. Closely related to 6f/7f winner Triple Chocolate and very smart 6f-7.4f winner One Master and half-brother to 5f-6f winner Jacob's Pillow. Of obvious interest on debut for top yard.

Going Places³²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 77| BF

2/1

Promising maiden. Off 10 months/gelded. First run for yard after leaving Roger Varian. Debut form has worked out well and he remains capable of better.

Starshiba¹⁰⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: D R C Elsworth| OR: 82

6/4

Lightly-raced maiden. Very good second of 12 on handicap debut at Kempton (7f, 16/1) in September, short of room 1f out and forced to switch. Should be bang there.

80/1

Modest filly. 76/10, fifth of 11 in maiden at Mont-De-Marsan (8f, good to soft). Off 11 months. Probably best watched on first run for yard after leaving Francois Rohaut.

Forecasts

Starshiba (6/4), Going Places (2/1), Craved (11/4), Perfect Sunset (6/1), Born To Destroy (12/1), Raajihah (80/1)

The vote goes to GOING PLACES, who was a beaten at odds-on when last seen at Kempton in February but remains capable of better on first start for Archie Watson. Starshiba could be the one to chase the selection home, while any support for the William Haggas-trained newcomer Craved should be noted.
