Al Moohaajim^t,v1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: A Fresu| T: M Al Mheiri| OR: 76

66/1

Improved on his first start on turf over C&D but ran poorly back on dirt when last of 6 in minor event at this course (6f) a fortnight ago, weakening straight. May get back on track here.

Form: 03-346

(8)

Albion Square^t¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R Woodworth| T: M F De Kock| OR: 100

33/1

Fairly useful in Ireland but little impact on both starts on these shores, seventh of 8 on handicap debut at this course (5f, good, 15/2) 19 days ago.

Form: 0756-67

(3)

Bin Askar^b,t³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Bernardo Pinheiro| T: A Al Shemaili

200/1

66/1 and blinkered for 1st time, last of 8 in minor event at this course (7f, good) 5 weeks ago. First run for yard after leaving B. Seemar and looks limited on early evidence.

Form: 797-8

(6)

Green Team Station¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P J Dobbs| T: D Watson

18/1

Just fair form shown in 3 outings so far, second of 10 in maiden at Abu Dhabi (8f, good) 11 days ago. Back down in trip. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 5-32

(4)

Home City^v²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L Dettori| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 90| D

5/1

Off the mark at Chelmsford City in August. Visored for 1st time, 2 lengths second of 10 to Silent Speech in minor event at this C&D (good, 8/1) 4 weeks ago. Enters calculations.

Form: D182-52

(5)

Hotline Bling^p,t1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Dane O'Neill| T: R Freire| OR: 79

25/1

Won twice at Bro Park in 2021. 3/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, too free when10¾ lengths fifth of 6 to Sovereign Prince in listed race at this course (8f, good) a fortnight ago. Back down in trip.

Form: 4121-45

(7)

J J Jumbo^p²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: A de Vries| T: D Bunyan & G O'Leary| OR: 82

50/1

20/1, below form after 10 weeks off when 8¾ lengths seventh of 10 to Silent Speech in minor event at this C&D (good) 4 weeks ago. Still early days but will need to take a step forward.

Form: 8562-7

(2)

Silent Speech²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| CD

4/11

Opened account at Wolverhampton in November before following up in minor event at this C&D (good, 5/6) 4 weeks ago by 2 lengths from Home City. Better to come, so he's high on the shortlist.

Form: 21-1

(10)

Little Afrodite¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: R Dawson| T: A Bin Harmash| OR: 85| D

16/1

Made a winning debut at Jebel Ali in November. 11/1, best effort when second of 6 in minor event at this course (dirt, 6f) a fortnight ago. Each-way claims making her turf debut.

Form: 1-432

(1)

Wild Place²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: P Cosgrave| T: S bin Suroor

11/1

Shaped with plenty of encouragement on debut but didn't progress as much as expected when 3¾ lengths third of 10 to Silent Speech over C&D 4 weeks ago. Very early days so she remains with potential.

Form: 3-3

Forecasts

Silent Speech (4/11), Home City (5/1), Wild Place (11/1), Little Afrodite (16/1), Green Team Station (18/1), Hotline Bling (25/1), Albion Square (33/1), J J Jumbo (50/1), Al Moohaajim (66/1), Bin Askar (200/1)

SILENT SPEECH made a winning start on these shores over C&D 4 weeks ago and Charlie Appleby's charge gets the verdict to take his tally to 3-4 with further improvement on the cards. Home City was unable to live with the selection that day and he may have to settle for silver once again, with Little Afrodite and Albion Square also worthy of a mention.
