10/1

Left debut form well behind to get off the mark at the second attempt in 1m AW novice at Lingfield in December. Failed to progress on turf debut at Thirsk 5 months on, though.

Arctic Emperor²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: A Watson| OR: 75

10/3

Ran to a fairly useful level when head second of 13 in novice event at Southwell (8.1f, 3/1) 25 days ago. That form has been franked since, so he commands respect now switching to handicaps.

Form: 5-22

Hoodwinker¹⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| OR: 75

11/10

Well backed and got off the mark upped in trip in 10-runner novice at Wolverhampton in December. That form is nothing special, but she's in excellent hands and remains with potential.

Form: 221-

Doctor Churchill⁶⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S W Kelly| T: P D Evans| OR: 70| D

16/1

Won handicaps at Wolverhampton and Kempton earlier in the year, but found good run coming to a halt in a similar event at former course last time. Others more persuasive on turf debut.

Form: 68-7114

Storm Dreamer²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Harrison Shaw| T: E J Alston| OR: 65

50/1

Modest maiden who had little go right from a wide draw at Wetherby (1m) last time. Still early days with new yard and should find races in due course.

Form: 0376-60

(6)

Deputy^h1¹⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Louis Steward| T: C Fellowes| OR: 65

9/2

Shaped with plenty of promise when runner-up on debut at Thirsk. Has failed to build on that twice since, but wasn't seen to best effect last time and retains potential. Hood goes on.

Form: 266-

Royal Guard²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: A Mullen| T: R A Fahey| OR: 57

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden who wasn't seen to best effect when fifth of 8 in handicap (9/1) at Pontefract (6f, good) 23 days ago, left poorly placed. Should stay this longer trip on pedigree.

Form: 39-385

Hoodwinker (11/10), Arctic Emperor (10/3), Deputy (9/2), Smart Qibili (6/1), Ford Madox Brown (10/1), Fort Mchenry (12/1), Royal Guard (14/1), Doctor Churchill (16/1), Storm Dreamer (50/1)

HOODWINKER had to work hard to land the odds in a modestly-run affair at Wolverhampton when last seen in December, but she's in excellent hands and boasts a useful pedigree, so could do much better now venturing into handicaps. Arctic Emperor looks on a fair mark judged on his latest form, so he's feared, as is Deputy, who retains potential after 5 months off for an in-form yard.
