Eternal Glory¹⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Beasley| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 70

16/1

Seventh of 8 in nursery at Nottingham (6.1f, good, 10/1). Off 164 days ahead of this polytrack debut and she's probably worth taking on.

Streaky Bay^h⁸⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 69

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, creditable second of 11 in nursery at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 84 days ago, worst of draw. More needed if she's to go one better here.

Form: 4042-

Essencial^t⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Dylan Hogan| T: M Botti| OR: 69| BF| CD

5/1

C&D winner in January. 11/4, bit below form fourth of 8 in C&D handicap 42 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Will be a danger to all if things pan out more favourably this time.

Form: 655-144

Buraback⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J F Egan| T: K Jewell| OR: 65| CD

7/2

C&D winner in December. 3/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 42 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Needs to raise his game a touch, but needs considering nonetheless.

Form: 4613-73

Ringo Starlight^b,t¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Cieren Fallon| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 65

9/1

Latest win at Southwell in December. 9/1, good third of 9 in handicap there (7.1f) 18 days ago, well positioned. Still, he looks vulnerable from a win point of view here.

Form: 401-253

(6)

Pluperfect^b1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 64

13/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 9/2, good third of 8 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 18 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Now tried in blinkers and he's one for the shortlist.

Form: 04-633

Bondi Girl⁸⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Levi Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 63

16/1

Good fifth of 14 in maiden at Chelmsford City (7f, 8/1) 89 days ago. Sizeable step forward needed if she's to open her account in this contest.

Form: 033035-

Fat Gladiator^h1³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: T E Whelan| T: George Baker| OR: 61

15/8

Lightly-raced maiden. 11/2, very good third of 9 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 31 days ago, not ideally placed. Unlucky not to finish closer that day and he remains open to improvement. Hood enlisted.

Form: 068-3

Forecasts

Fat Gladiator (15/8), Buraback (7/2), Essencial (5/1), Pluperfect (13/2), Ringo Starlight (9/1), Streaky Bay (14/1), Bondi Girl (16/1), Eternal Glory (16/1)

FAT GLADIATOR shaped with considerable promise on his handicap debut back from a break at Kempton, despite still looking green and things not going his way. He is open to improvement and makes plenty of appeal off the same mark here with a hood applied. Essencial and Buraback both shaped better than the bare result on their latest starts, too, and are feared most in that order of preference.
