Perfect Sign¹⁸¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Darragh Keenan| T: G Harris| OR: 77| D

80/1

Off the mark in 6f Southwell novice when last seen in October. Sold from Michael Dods 10,000 gns in February. Form of her win looks decent enough and could go well if proving as effective on turf.

Obtuse^b³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 75| D

18/1

Got a 4-timer up on AW at the turn of the year. 9/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Lingfield 31 days ago, too free. Could be vulnerable to unexposed ones now.

Hot Scoop¹⁵³

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

5/1

Did well last summer, getting a hat-trick up in 6f maiden/novice events (including over C&D). Form tailed off as 2020 ended and has been gelded. Might benefit from a step up to 7f/1m.

Form: 170475-

Crazy Luck²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Oisin Murphy| T: B R Millman| OR: 69

5/1

Won 7f Salisbury fillies' maiden last summer. Off 6 months, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 33/1) 27 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. 2 lb drop will help.

Form: 12368-6

Shanghai Rock^p¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Murphy| OR: 68| CD

12/1

25/1, respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago. More exposed than a lot of these but down in the weights back at the scene of his sole success.

Form: 8-76286

(11)

Moonshiner²³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Jason Watson| T: T Ward| OR: 60

25/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Off 7 months. Type to do better in handicaps back on turf this year and one to keep an eye on.

Crazy Luck (5/1), Hot Scoop (5/1), Billy Mill (11/2), Touchwood (13/2), Mitrosonfire (15/2), Kohinoor (17/2), Ancient Times (10/1), Shanghai Rock (12/1), Rhythm (16/1), Obtuse (18/1), Moonshiner (25/1), Perfect Sign (80/1)

Probably a useful 3-y-o sprint handicap and MITROSONFIRE gets the vote with the form of his November Kempton nursery win looking solid-enough. He's been gelded and could have more to offer. Ancient Times boasts a similar profile and is respected on his handicap debut/return. Perfect Sign, Moonshiner and the more-exposed Shanghai Rock are also considered.
