3/1

Lightly-raced gelding. 5/2, seventh of 9 in handicap at Haydock (8f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Obvious claims on his best form, but needs to bounce back.

66/1

Sixties Icon gelding. Dam, winner up to 8.3f (2-y-o 7f winner), also won over hurdles. Doesn't make a great deal of appeal on paper.

La Sensazione⁶²

4/1

Promising sort. 22/1, third of 12 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) on debut 62 days ago, not knocked about. Form has a solid look to it and she's open to improvement, so could open her account.

7/4

Twice-raced filly. 22/1, fifth of 12 in maiden at Lingfield (8f, AW), not knocked about. Off 6 months. Likely to improve this year.

Raqisa¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: G Lee| T: Jedd O'Keeffe

11/1

Twice-raced filly. Third of 6 in maiden (17/2) at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Should improve in time, but shapes as if she'll be suited by further.

Form: 33

Forecasts

Lockerbie (7/4), Makashi (3/1), La Sensazione (4/1), Art Dealer (5/1), Raqisa (11/1), St Clement (25/1), Hildenley (28/1), So Savvy (50/1), Push For Sixty (66/1), Kiss My Face (125/1), Fairyworld (300/1)

LA SENSAZIONE showed plenty under considerate handling when third at Wolverhampton on debut and the form has been boosted since, so she can improve enough to get off the mark at the second attempt. Makashi is sure to be thereabouts if he's back to the form he showed on his penultimate outing, while further progress from Art Dealer would give him a decent chance.
