Estrela Star¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: F Norton| T: A Stronge| OR: 63| D

7/2

Three wins from 11 runs last year. Creditable third of 9 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 9/1) 11 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Shortlist material.

Form: 8995-73

(3)

London Eye¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Harry Burns⁽⁷⁾| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 63

10/1

Creditable third of 8 in handicap (15/2) at Kempton (12f) 11 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Remains on a feasible mark, but minor place money may be the best he can hope for.

Form: 644-963

(5)

11/2

Good second of 13 in handicap at Kempton (16f, 10/1) 21 days ago, left with lot to do. Place possibilities, but perhaps vulnerable from a win point of view.

Form: 860/96-2

Cinzento¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Callum Shepherd| T: R A Teal| OR: 53

Forecasts

The Rutland Rebel (7/2), Estrela Star (7/2), Nelson River (9/2), Looking For Carl (11/2), London Eye (10/1), Cinzento (10/1), Contingency Fee (12/1), Reassurance (14/1), Ajman Prince (16/1), Sauchiehall Street (22/1), Loch Ness Monster (25/1), Mister Universum (80/1)

Preference is for ESTRELA STAR, who has edged down to a handy mark (3 lb lower than for his latest success at Lingfield last February) and shaped as though his turn may be near when third at Kempton recently. The Rutland Rebel posted his best effort yet when strking here 19 days ago and should again be on the premises, while Sauchiehall Street and Cinzento also enter calculations.
