Sezaam¹⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 80

9/2

Promising individual. Won 6f Redcar novice in October. Improved again when close third there 10 days later. Step up to 7f promises to suit. Appeals as one likely to go on to better things in handicaps.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Faye McManoman⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 75| CD

Forecasts

Exminster (7/2), Sezaam (9/2), Galileo Glass (6/1), Evocative Spark (13/2), Wild Mountain (8/1), Bond Boy (10/1), Foden (11/1), Truely Aclaimed (11/1), Grifter (11/1), Liamarty Dreams (11/1), Liberated Light (11/1), Spitting Feathers (18/1), The Dunkirk Lads (18/1), Piastrella (20/1), On The River (33/1), Makalu (50/1)

SEZAAM made a promising start to his career last autumn and can improve again and make a winning start in handicaps with the step up to 7f likely to be in his favour. Dual C&D novice winner Piastrella is another with the potential for better now handicapping and heads the many dangers along with Exminster and Galileo Glass, who shaped very nicely at Windsor last week but does have a potentially awkward draw here.
