Perfect Times¹⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: S De Sousa| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 76

6/1

Two wins from 6 runs last year. Fifth of 8 in nursery at Kempton (6f, 10/1) on final 2-y-o start. Given a chance by the handicapper (resumes on a 5 lb lower mark), but looks vulnerable all the same.

Form: 141045-

Keep Right On¹⁸²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 75

5/1

Below form fifth of 10 in minor event at Chelmsford City (7f, 10/3) when last seen in October. Mark for this handicap debut looks fair, but yard saddles a stronger candidate in Power Station.

Form: 2345-

No Day Never¹⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Saffie Osborne⁽⁷⁾| T: J A Osborne| OR: 72

11/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 15/2, good third of 12 in nursery at Chelmsford City (7f) in November. Gelded since and improvement needed on this seasonal reappearance.

Form: 0263-

Power Station²⁰¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Hannon| OR: 72WS

8/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 13/2, sixth of 8 when last seen in nursery at Pontefract (6f, heavy), slowly away and possibly unsuited by conditions. 3 lb lower now and has undergone a wind op.

Form: 63986-

Kingmania²²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: P Cosgrave| T: C F Wall| OR: 72| D

11/8

Thrice-raced winner. Won 6-runner nursery at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm, 5/4) on third of her 3 starts as a juvenile. Up 6 lb, but highly likely that there will be more to come from her this season.

Form: 641-

Power On²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J F Egan| T: J Butler| OR: 71

33/1

Winner at Lingfield in March. 11/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 25 days ago. Arguably lacks the scope of some of these rivals.

Form: 46-4718

Desert Boots^p1,t³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: S Pearce| OR: 71| D

22/1

Latest win at Southwell in February. 5/1, respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 36 days ago. Little impact both previous runs on turf and now tried in cheekpieces.

Form: 333136

Forbidden Beauty¹⁹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| OR: 69

28/1

Lightly-raced winner. Bit below form fourth of 11 in nursery (20/1) at Newcastle (6f) on latest start 6 months ago. First run for yard after leaving Richard Fahey and she needs to raise her game.

Form: 1554-

(11)

Headora¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: R Kingscote| T: J G Portman| OR: 66

12/1

Promising sort. Bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 9/2) 17 days ago. Better judged on handicap debut/reappearance near miss at Wolverhampton and he's one to consider.

Form: 804-25

(4)

Lhebayeb²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Hayley Turner| T: Paul George| OR: 61

18/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, excellent third of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7f) last month. That effort represented a big step forward and she'll be a threat if able to build on that back on turf.

Form: 845-3

Forecasts

Kingmania (11/8), Keep Right On (5/1), Perfect Times (6/1), Power Station (8/1), No Day Never (11/1), Headora (12/1), Moment Critique (12/1), Lhebayeb (18/1), Desert Boots (22/1), Forbidden Beauty (28/1), Power On (33/1)

The form of the Yarmouth nursery KINGMANIA landed when last seen in September doesn't amount to much, but she did the job well and there should be more to come from her this season. Next on the list is Headora, who wasn't suited by the sharp countours at Lingfield last time and is better judged on his promising reappearance display. Power Station and Lhebayeb are others to consider.
