Night On Earth^h¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 85| D

25/1

Bordering on useful as a 2-y-o for Andrew Balding, winning novices at Windsor and Lingfield. Shaped as if needing run on yard/handicap debut at Thirsk on return and this run should reveal more.

Shalaa Asker^h¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: B A Curtis| T: A Keatley| OR: 82| D

11/8

All the better for return when just failing over C&D and backed that up when third at Thirsk 10 days ago, shaping better than the bare result. One to be interested in.

Form: 122-423

Asadjumeirah¹⁹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 79| D

9/4

Fairly useful form, off the mark at the fourth attempt in Bath novice in October. Well-bred colt who should have more to offer in handicaps this season.

Fighter Pilot¹⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: D Tudhope| T: K A Ryan| OR: 77

3/1

Consistent rather than progressive at 2 yrs, landing the odds in Southwell maiden in December. Does have a bit of substance about him, though, so one to note on handicap bow/return. Has been gelded.

Toptime¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: R Ffrench| T: B R Millman| OR: 66

12/1

Narrow winner of a Kempton nursery in September. Beaten under 2 lengths when a creditable fifth of 13 at Windsor on return 2 weeks ago and entitled to come on for that. Respected.

Form: 34315-5

Forecasts

Shalaa Asker (11/8), Asadjumeirah (9/4), Fighter Pilot (3/1), Toptime (12/1), Night On Earth (25/1)

SHALAA ASKER has made a positive start to his 3-y-o campaign, only just failing over this C&D before doing well to finish third at Thirsk, and he's preferred to Asadjumeirah and Fighter Pilot, who are both having their first run of the season.
