5/1
Useful and consistent sort in France who has been picked up for 90,000 gns since a good second at Chantilly 81 days ago. Could have been let in lightly from a mark of 99.

Scored at York last August and largely good efforts in defeat subsequently. Went well fresh in 2020, so worth considering back from 6 months off.

9/2
In fine fettle in late 2020, completing a hat-trick at Redcar (10f) in November. Back to form with reappearance behind him when fourth at Chester last time but mark sums him up.

Recorded very useful effort when second in strong C&D handicap on final 3-y-o run. Has been unable to make a significant impact in some good contests this year but mark is sliding.

Landed first 2 starts 11 month apart but progress stalled thereafter. Not disgraced on first 2 outings this term and blinkers might spark him up a touch.

Signed off for 2020 with 7f Chelmsford City win and in good nick this term, respectable second at Ripon 6 days ago. Should give another good account in first-time cheekpieces.

Forecasts

Lucander (13/8), Lunar Jet (9/2), Bugle Major (5/1), Jean Baptiste (6/1), Man Of The Night (15/2), Al Madhar (8/1), Kryptos (12/1)

Verdict

BUGLE MAJOR consistently ran to a useful level in France and has joined a shrewd British outfit so, if the market speaks in his favour, he could be up to defying a seemingly lenient mark of 99. In-form Jean Baptiste is an obvious player and Lucander is the type to make a better 4yo, so he's one to consider on reappearance.

  1. BUGLE MAJOR (USA)
  2. JEAN BAPTISTE (IRE)
  3. LUCANDER (IRE)
