Siam Fox¹⁸⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: R Hannon| OR: 80

11/2

Lightly-raced maiden who was underwhelming in a nursery at Wolverhampton when last seen 180 days ago. Gelded since and bred to do better, so not a forlorn hope on return.

Form: 2239-

Il Bandito¹⁹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: W Buick| T: C Hills| OR: 79

10/3

Runner-up in a couple of novices before readily opening his account in a maiden at Newcastle in October. Form is solid, so could make an impression if he stays on return.

Form: 7221-

Dejame Paso¹⁹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 78

5/1

Improved by the run at 2 yrs and had a good bit in hand when off the mark at Lingfield 6 months ago. May do better still switched to handicaps.

Form: 771-

(5)

Trevolli¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: A West| OR: 78

8/1

Fair form to this point and shaped well despite seeming unsuited by the drop in trip when second at Kempton last time. Could go well back up to a more suitable test on handicap debut.

Form: 944-2

Never Say When²²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 76

14/1

Made winning debut over 6f at Kempton in June. Only 6 lengths fourth at Salisbury next time and nursery debut back at first-named track 7 months ago was disappointing. Should make a better 3-y-o.

Form: 148-

Patient Dream¹⁷⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 76

10/3

Chased home the subsequent Acomb winner on debut at York and looked uncomplicated when scoring at Lingfield next time. Disappointing subsequently but gelded since last seen.

Form: 4164-

(4)

Coul Kat¹⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: L P Keniry| T: B R Millman| OR: 71

8/1

Steadily progressive last term, displaying likeable attitude when scoring in the mud at Pontefract (1m, heavy) 6 months ago. Needs another step forward on return.

Form: 621221-

(3)

Dr T J Eckleburg¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: D O'Meara| OR: 64

14/1

Lightly-raced gelding who wasn't disgraced when fourth at Redcar 15 days ago but needs further improvement if he's to defy this mark.

Form: 557-4

Year Of The Dragon⁸⁰

Weight: 9-9| Age: 3

T: W J Knight J: Callum Shepherd

Forecasts

Year Of The Dragon (3/1), Patient Dream (10/3), Il Bandito (10/3), Dejame Paso (5/1), Siam Fox (11/2), Coul Kat (8/1), Trevolli (8/1), Dr T J Eckleburg (14/1), Never Say When (14/1)

YEAR OF THE DRAGON has solid form and untapped potential, so he makes most appeal in an open 3-y-o handicap. Il Bandito is the type to make a better 3-y-o, so he's regarded a danger along with Trevolli.
