Nibras Gold^h²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Ray Dawson⁽³⁾| T: I Mohammed| OR: 59| BF

2/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Ripon (12f, good to firm) 25 days ago, staying on final 1f. This longer trip worth exploring on that evidence and mark has eased.

Polar Ice^p1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 57| BF

5/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Evens, fourth of 6 in handicap at Chepstow (12f, firm) 13 days ago, going in snatches and hanging left. Fitting of headgear a plus on that evidence and he may yet do better.

4/1

8/1, creditable third of 6 in handicap at Chepstow (12f, firm) 13 days ago, albeit carrying his head high and one paced in the finish. Eased further 1 lb but others make more appeal.

33/1

Ninth of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 18/1) 28 days ago, not clear run. Needs to bounce back up significantly in trip.

15/2

5/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) 33 days ago. That form has some substance and she's not ruled out from such a lowly mark stepping up in trip.

Forecasts

Nibras Gold (2/1), Polar Ice (5/2), Where You At (4/1), Largo Bay (6/1), Tinchoo (15/2), Belafonte (33/1), Maiden's Tower (40/1), Moonlet (50/1)

A low-mileage son of Golden Horn, NIBRAS GOLD shaped like the step up to this sort of trip would suit when staying on for third at Ripon (12f) 25 days ago and he gets the narrow vote to come out on top in a wide-open staying handicap. Polar Ice was below form in face of strong support at Chepstow 2 weeks ago but is too soon to be writing off. Tinchoo is also worth a second look.
