Mutafawwig⁷¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S bin Suroor

15/8

Once-raced winner. Won 7-runner minor event at Doncaster (6f, soft, 5/4) on debut in August 2019. Subsequent absence naturally a concern, but it looks significant that connections are persevering.

Chifa¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: S De Sousa| T: E De Giles

100/1

Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 7 in maiden at Ffos Las (8f, good to firm, 28/1) 15 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps in due course.

Form: 54

(10)

Desert Pioneer³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: J Ferguson

66/1

Once-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 14 in minor event at Windsor (8.1f, soft, 3/1) on debut 30 days ago. Better was clearly expected there and he's likely to leave that form well behind in time.

Form: 0

(11)

Jacalan

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: James Doyle| T: B J Meehan

66/1

Fast Anna gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including 8.5f winner Street Gem and 7f winner Fine View. Dam ran once at 2 yrs. Yard's newcomers usually come on for a run.

Form:

(8)

Meadram

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Louis Steward| T: M P Tregoning

80/1

Mukhadram gelding. Dam, maiden (stayed 1m), half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m Foodbroker Fancy out of useful 6f winner (stayed 1m) Red Rita. Chances are, he'll be better for the run.

Form:

(5)

Pride Of Priory¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas

7/1

Once-raced maiden. Third of 7 in minor event at Chelmsford City (8f, 17/2) on debut 15 days ago, never nearer. Open to progress and should make his presence felt with that experience to draw upon.

Form: 3

(3)

Schwartz¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: M Harley| T: R Hughes

200/1

Twice-raced maiden. 50/1, last of 7 in minor event at Chelmsford City (8f) 15 days ago. Another for whom handicaps may offer more suitable opportunities.

Form: 97

Valiant Prince¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby

8/11

Promising sort. Second of 6 in minor event (11/4) at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 19 days ago, clear of rest. Sets a good standard on that form and may well go one better here.

Form: 62

Balqaa^h1

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: S M Levey| T: I Furtado

125/1

£105,000 yearling, 13,000 gns 3-y-o, Cable Bay filly. Sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Flash Henry. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Wears hood on debut and he's probably best watched.

Form:

(7)

Due Dilly²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: S Hitchcott| T: J C Fox

300/1

Once-raced maiden. 250/1, last of 8 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f) on debut 21 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 8

(6)

Karuoka³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 78

10/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 10/3, second of 10 in maiden at Bath (8f, firm) 35 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Saeed Bin Suroor and she's a live each-way contender.

Form: 772

Forecasts

Valiant Prince (8/11), Mutafawwig (15/8), Pride Of Priory (7/1), Karuoka (10/1), Jacalan (66/1), Desert Pioneer (66/1), Meadram (80/1), Chifa (100/1), Balqaa (125/1), Schwartz (200/1), Due Dilly (300/1)

This looks ripe for VALIANT PRINCE, who has shown plenty of ability in his two starts at Newmarket, latterly finishing clear of the rest when chasing home a useful type in a 1m novice. Pride of Priory made a promising start to his career at Chelmsford and gets the nod for forecast purposes ahead of Karuoka, Mutafawwig, who is returning from a monster absence, and likely improver Desert Pioneer.
