6/4

Career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Kempton (1m, 5/2) 12 days ago, staying on well. Blinkers added now. 3 lb rise looks manageable.

Form: 73553-1

Blue Hero²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Tudhope| T: M Appleby| OR: 69| BF

11/4

Good second at Wolverhampton (8.6f) at start of month. May have found race coming too soon when remote fourth at Southwell 6 days later. Cheekpieces worn on that occasion discarded.

Form: 3853-24

Thrice-raced maiden. Second of 9 in novice at Redcar (7f, heavy) when last seen in August. Makes handicap/AW debut after 5 months off.

9/4

5/1, career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Southwell (7f) 18 days ago, driven out. Makes tapeta debut. Return to 1m should suit. Another bold show likely.

Forecasts

Babajan (6/4), Woke Media (9/4), Blue Hero (11/4), Vindobala (10/1)

BABAJAN came good at Kempton 12 days ago and may be capable of following up, particularly if reacting positively to first-time blinkers. The chief threat may come from fellow last-time-out scorer Woke Media who promises to be suited by the step back up to 1m.
