Stepped up on debut effort when landing Haydock novice (1m) in August. Similar form when fourth both starts since, latterly over this trip on reappearance but opening mark looks too high.

Winning debut at Salisbury in July and posted useful effort when 1½ lengths third to Saint Lawrence in listed race at Newbury. Excuses for odds-on reversal final 2-y-o start and he retains potential.

Winning debut at Newcastle in October. Rather in-and-out since, sent to Meydan early this year, and improement needed to defy current mark.

Fairly useful form at 2 but has quite an exposed look about him and he was well held on reappearance at Newbury (7f). Upped markedly in trip.

Ready winner of 4-runner novice on second start at Newcastle in January. Hung right when edged out at Lingfield and switched to turf for this handicap debut.

Forged clear in an ordinary fibresand maiden on third start a month ago (1m). Return to this trip will suit and likely has more to offer handicapping on turf.

Forecasts

Kehailaan (9/4), Western Symphony (5/2), Francesco Guardi (4/1), River Alwen (5/1), Leopardo (12/1), Fountain Cross (16/1)

Verdict

The fact that FRANCESCO GUARDI was able to win over 7f as a juvenile augurs very well for his career given he's bred to make a better 3-y-o at this sort of trip and he's taken to confirm his opening mark to be lenient. Kehailaan and Western Symphony switch to turf now handicapping and are feared most.

  1. FRANCESCO GUARDI (IRE)
  2. KEHAILAAN (IRE)
  3. WESTERN SYMPHONY (IRE)
