5/2

Evens, won 12-runner maiden at Lingfield (7f, AW) on debut last June, well on top finish. Good pedigree and there should be better to come from him. Gelded.

Cativo Ragazzo¹⁰⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: George Rooke⁽³⁾| T: J E Long

250/1

Twice-raced maiden. 125/1, last of 9 in minor event at Lingfield (7f, good). Off over 2 years and he's impossible to fancy.

Form: 09/

Wirraway²⁷⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: William Carson| T: Debbie Hughes

250/1

Once-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 15 in minor event at Newmarket (8f, good, 14/1) on debut for John Gosden 9 months ago. Readily passed over starting out for new yard here.

Ibiza Rocks²⁰⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: C Hills| OR: 82| D

7/1

Won 14-runner minor event at Newbury (7f, good, 11/1) in September. There should be more races to be won with him, but he's up against some promising types and likely-looking newcomers here.

Form: 61-

Big Dream

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: B A Curtis| T: H & R Charlton

33/1

Half-brother to 2-y-o 7.4f/1m winner World Title. Yard's newcomers usually come on for a run and the market will be instructive.

Bilhayl

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian

1/1

Shamardal colt. Half-brother to useful winner up to 11.4f Mannaal. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Declaration of War. Lots to like on paper and he's one to note.

Fury¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: M Dwyer| T: S C Williams

200/1

Once-raced maiden. 80/1, tenth of 11 in minor event at Doncaster (7f, good) on debut 17 days ago. Hard to warm to.

Mustazeed¹⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: C F Wall

100/1

Twice-raced maiden. First run since leaving Simon & Ed Crisford when sixth of 10 in maiden at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 40/1). Off 143 days. Probably more one for handicaps later on.

Form: 96-

Ranchero

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: N Mackay| T: J & T Gosden

12/1

550,000 gns yearling. Brother to 2-y-o 6f winner No Leaf Clover and 2-y-o 5f winner To Wafij, both useful. Interesting newcomer for top connections and very much one to note in the betting.

Form:

Resumption

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Liam Jones| T: W J Haggas

28/1

42,000 gns yearling. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 1m-1¾m winner Swivel and useful winner up to 1m Private Mission. Top yard can ready a newcomer and market check a must.

Form:

(8)

Torrkee¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P J McDonald| T: S Crisford| BF

10/1

Twice-raced maiden. 5/6, second of 8 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 16 days ago, conceding first run. Remains open to improvement and ought to pick up a race sooner rather than later.

Form: 3-2

(9)

Big Little Lie¹¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Saffie Osborne⁽⁷⁾| T: J A Osborne

200/1

Once-raced maiden. Ninth of 13 in minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW, 50/1) on debut. Off 119 days and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 9-

Forecasts

Bilhayl (1/1), Ransom (5/2), Ibiza Rocks (7/1), Torrkee (10/1), Ranchero (12/1), Resumption (28/1), Big Dream (33/1), Mustazeed (100/1), Big Little Lie (200/1), Fury (200/1), Cativo Ragazzo (250/1), Wirraway (250/1)

It could be a case of third time lucky for TORRKEE, who built on the promise of his 2-y-o debut when going close on return at Wolverhampton where he conceded first run. Ransom was pretty impressive on his belated debut last summer, but he has plenty of weight on his back and bigger threats may be posed by likely-looking newcomers Resumption, Bilhayl and Ranchero (in that order of preference).
