Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: L Dettori| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 86

11/2

Progressive type who got off the mark in a Newmarket maiden (10f, heavy) in October. Gelded and shaped as if in need of return at Chelmsford in April. Not ruled out equipped with blinkers.

Form: 621-2

Going Gone¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: J R Boyle| OR: 80

10/1

Fairly useful gelding who matched previous best when second in a 3-runner Ascot maiden (12f) earlier this month. Underfoot conditions should hold no fears now handicapping

Form: 3-22

Zinc White⁹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 69| D

11/10

Fair form at best in novice/maiden contests and much improved to score on return/handicap debut at Wetherby (14f) 9 days ago. Type to go on improving and serious player under a penalty.

Form: 566-1

(6)

Local Law^p²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 74

11/2

Matched previous best when third in an 8.3f Nottingham nursery in November. Similar form having been gelded/upped markedly in trip when last of 3 at Chelmsford (14f) in April and he needs to step up.

Form: 423-3

Silver Shade⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: B A Curtis| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 73

12/1

Going the right way in handicaps on AW this year, doubling career tally when bolting up in a match race at Southwell (12f) in April. Remains with plenty of potential now tackling turf.

Form: 088-211

(2)

Folly Beach¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: S De Sousa| T: M R Channon| OR: 67

11/2

Golden Horn filly who hasn't threatened in a trio of novice/maiden contests. Entitled to hold more chance now handicapping but this is a tough ask.

Form: 4-94

Forecasts

Zinc White (11/10), Pied Piper (11/2), Folly Beach (11/2), Local Law (11/2), Going Gone (10/1), Silver Shade (12/1)

ZINC WHITE looked an improved model when making a successful return/handicap debut at Wetherby earlier this month. The manner of that victory suggests he can do better again and he's fancied to follow up. Silver Shade is feared, whilst the fitting of blinkers may put an extra edge on Pied Piper.
