Radetsky¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 74| BF| C

13/8

Course winner over 7f in January. Creditable fourth of 9 in another 7f handicap here since. Raced exclusively at 7f/1m but he's looked increasingly speedy for this yard and 6f well worth a go.

Puerto De Vega^t¹¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: S M Levey| T: S C Williams| OR: 72

4/1

Tongue strap on first time, first run since leaving Johnny Murtagh when respectable third of 8 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 7/2), barely adequate test. Off 117 days. Stable going well.

Forecasts

Radetsky (13/8), Puerto De Vega (4/1), Aramis Grey (4/1), Impeach (11/2), Ooh Is It (6/1), Deputise (6/1)

DEPUTISE is hardly one for maximum faith but first-time cheekpieces and Tyler Heard's 5 lb claim are possible reasons why he could step up a little on his recent placed efforts and that could be enough to see him finally get his head back in front. The drop back to 6f could be a good move for Radetsky and he's feared most.
