100/1

Twice-raced maiden. Last of 7 in minor event at this course (8.1f, 150/1) 53 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 6-7

Prince Abu^h¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Cam Hardie| T: D Shaw

40/1

Twice-raced maiden on Flat. Last of 3 in minor event at this C&D (14/1) 11 days ago, needing stiffer test. Another who will be of greater interest in handicaps further down the line.

Form: 73

Mehmento⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Adam J McNamara| T: A Watson| CD

1/5

Promising individual. Won 9-runner maiden at this C&D (11/4) on debut 41 days ago, easily. Improvement may well be forthcoming and he's very difficult to oppose.

Form: 1

Night Of Romance⁹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 73

4/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 16/1, last of 10 in nursery at Newcastle (8f) when last seen in November. Went close in a couple of novice events prior to that and she should make her presence felt.

Forecasts

Mehmento (1/5), Night Of Romance (4/1), Grangeclare View (4/1), Beyond Infinity (18/1), Prince Abu (40/1), Heaton Chapel (100/1)

He probably didn't beat much on debut over C&D last month, but MEHMENTO was nevertheless very visually impressive that day and he is hard to oppose. Night of Romance showed enough on her first 2 starts as a juvenile to suggest that she will pick up a race before long, but Grangeclare View is proven on this surface and is preferred for forecast purposes.
