Albadri¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R Kingscote| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 96| D

9/1

Useful effort when winning 1m Southwell in January but up to the task in Saudi Arabia since. Suspicion he'll find a few too strong again. Makes polytrack debut.

Form: 7596-19

Alto Volante⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas

22/1

Left his debut run well behind when winning 8.6f Wolverhampton novice in January. Useful prospect for a leading yard which won this race in 2019.

Form: 7-1

(7)

Bodroy⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J Mitchell| T: J Butler| OR: 75

125/1

Landed a pair of Wolverhampton handicaps (8.6f/9.5f) for new yard last month but big chunk of improvement needed if he's to complete a hat-trick.

Form: 06-6511

(2)

Highland Avenue³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: C Appleby| CD

4/9

Narrowly denied in strong race on 7f course debut and easily landed short odds over C&D at the end of January. Could be smart.

Form: 2-1

(3)

Oo De Lally⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R L Moore| T: A M Balding| OR: 97| C

5/2

Very much going the right way, winning all 3 starts since debut, the latest a 7f Newcastle handicap off a BHA mark of 94. Likely to make another bold bid now stepping up to 1m.

Form: 011-1

(4)

Sergeant Tibbs¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ryan Tate| T: R Brisland

200/1

150/1, fourth of 11 in novice at Lingfield (1m) on debut 11 days ago, left poorly placed. Open to progress but this a big jump in class.

Form: 4

Forecasts

Highland Avenue (4/9), Oo De Lally (5/2), Apollo One (5/1), Albadri (9/1), Alto Volante (22/1), Bodroy (125/1), Sergeant Tibbs (200/1)

A useful contest. HIGHLAND AVENUE has made a very promising start to his career here this winter and is selected to take the step up in class in his stride. The Ryan Moore-ridden Oo de Lally can provide the chief threat ahead of the William Haggas novice winner Alto Volante.
