Deep Impression^b¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: B A Curtis| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 72

8/1

Unreliable sort. Latest win at Southwell in January. 7/2, creditable second of 6 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 18 days ago. Perhaps a shade too high in the weights for now.

Form: 34-1432

Tricolore¹⁸⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M Botti| OR: 70

9/4

Thrice-raced maiden. 7/2, second of 10 in nursery at Kempton (8f) when last seen in September. Open to improvement now faced with a stiffer test and he's one to consider.

Form: 342-

He's A Dream²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Shepherd| T: W J Knight| OR: 69

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 7 in minor event at Newcastle (10.2f, 22/1) 27 days ago. Sizeable step forward needed on this handicap debut.

Form: 0-547

(4)

The Thunderer⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽⁵⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 69

7/1

Promising type. Tenth of 13 in maiden at this C&D (17/2) 70 days ago, not ideally placed. Improvement may well be forthcoming now pitched into a handicap.

Form: 3-70

(2)

Thunder Lily²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: M Dwyer| T: S Durack| OR: 69

25/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 9 in minor event at Chelmsford City (8f, 33/1) 25 days ago. Type to do better now going down the handicap route, but others preferred all the same.

Form: 835

(7)

Liberated Lad⁷⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: Ian Williams| OR: 68

13/2

Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 6/1) 76 days ago, finding extra. Makes tapeta debut on first run for yard after leaving Sir Mark Todd. More needed.

Form: 784-1

Mustang Kodi¹²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: J Mitchell| T: R A Teal| OR: 64

6/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, fifth of 7 in minor event at this C&D. Off 125 days and needs to raise his game considerably now making the switch to a handicap.

Form: 675-

Sergeant Major¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon| OR: 63

3/1

Winner at Chelmsford City in March. 5/4, second of 4 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 13 days ago, slowly away. Down in trip and he has to enter calculations.

Form: 476-412

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: L Morris| T: E Walker| OR: 55

100/1

Forecasts

Tricolore (9/4), Sergeant Major (3/1), Arthur's Angel (5/1), Mustang Kodi (6/1), Liberated Lad (13/2), The Thunderer (7/1), Deep Impression (8/1), He's A Dream (25/1), Thunder Lily (25/1), Queen Of Thorns (100/1)

ARTHUR'S ANGEL did well to finish as close as he did when third here on Saturday (denied a clear run at a crucial stage) and compensation may well await now faced with a stiffer test. Sergeant Major's stamina appeared to give way upped to 12.4f at Newcastle recently and he is feared back down in trip, while the Marco Botti-trained duo The Thunderer and Tricolore are both open to improvement.
