Steppes⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 56

10/1

Thrice-raced maiden who has offered only a mere modicum of promise in a trio of novice events at up to 1m this winter. Is in good hands though, so improvement not ruled out now handicapping.

Form: 87-9

(8)

Sandie's Dream⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M Botti| OR: 55

5/2

11/1, very good second of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 8 days ago, forced to switch 1f out and finishing well. One to consider on that evidence.

Form: 76744-2

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Ran best race to date on back of 7 months off when fourth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 12 days ago. Further progress not ruled out for good yard.

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 13 in nursery at Southwell (6.1f) 33 days ago, never better than midfield. Needs to step up to feature.

40/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 10 in maiden at Chelmsford (6f) 11 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Should at least hold more chance now handicapping but only market support would make her of interest.

Form: 0-66

Storm Asset^p¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M Wigham| OR: 50| D

16/5

15/8 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 17 days ago by length from Surrey Territories, always holding on. Looks competitive on form.

Form: 09722-1

Surrey Territories^p1,t¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: R Kingscote| T: B R Johnson| OR: 49| BF

11/2

Good length second of 7 to Storm Asset in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 5/4) 17 days ago, running on. 3 lb better off with that rival now and no reason why he won't go well again. Cheekpieces on.

Guitar²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 47

3/1

Promising individual. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (1m) 20 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Good quartered type who may have more to offer at this level

Form: 068-5

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 45

100/1

25/1, bit below form eighth of 13 in nursery at Southwell (6.1f) 33 days ago, off the bridle before most and merely plugging on. Others arrive with more pressing claims.

Forecasts

Sandie's Dream (5/2), Guitar (3/1), Storm Asset (16/5), Surrey Territories (11/2), Token Trader (8/1), Steppes (10/1), Isobel Moore (20/1), Sirius White (25/1), Rosie Bobbie (40/1), Arpina (100/1)

STORM ASSET confirmed the promise of his previous exploits when off the mark in first-time cheekpieces at Lingfield 17 days ago, always holding on from re-opposing Surrey Territories. He gets the nod to confirm the placings, with Sandie's Dream and Guitar completing the shortlist.
