Tylos²³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: James Doyle| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 87

4/1

Night Of Thunder colt who confirmed promise of opening 2 starts on turf last summer when making all in a Wolverhampton novice (7f) in August. Step up to 1m should suit and of interest now handicapping on return.

Form: 221-

Outgate¹⁸⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: R Kingscote| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 85

9/1

Outstrip colt who proved strong at the line when doubling career tally in a Haydock nursery (7f) in September. Good second over 7f here final start in October and step up to 1m may bring about a little more improvement.

Form: 13712-

Chrysos³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: N Callan| T: K A Ryan| OR: 85| D

22/1

Well backed and confirmed debut promise when landing 1m, AW novice in February. Couldn't build on that at listed level next time but that experience shouldn't have been wasted on him. Goes handicapping now with yard in good form.

Form: 416

Tranquil Night⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 84

3/1

Promise sole start at 2yrs and, having been gelded, he stepped forward to land back-to-back AW novice events over 7f earlier this year. In excellent hands and highly likely there is more to come now handicapping back on turf.

Form: 4-11

Damaar^p1¹⁸⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: L Dettori| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 82| BF

16/1

Decorated Knight colt who made a winning start under a confident ride when landing a Sandown novice (7f, heavy) in September. Disappointed at York (7.8f) the following month but well worth another chance on balance. Cheekpieces on for handicap bow.

Aldhaja³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Marco Ghiani| T: C Hills| OR: 82

5/1

War Front colt who was well backed to score on debut at Southwell (7f) in February. Stepped up when second under a penalty at Lingfield (1m) last month and he's well worth considering now handicapping on turf with the prospect of more to come.

Form: 12

Nasim³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 81| D

12/1

AW novice winner at Lingfield (1m) last summer who, having been gelded found further progress to land 4-runner Southwell handicap (1m) in March, running green but asserting final 100 yds. May do better again but this understandably a lot tougher.

Form: 6219-1

Ellade⁷⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 81| D

66/1

Had plenty of racing as a juvenile, winning twice on AW at 5/6f for Mark Johnston. Improved to open account for new yard at Lingfield (1m) in January, looking well served by the longer trip. 4 lb higher now and this a much deeper affair.

Form: 3047-61

Dreaming¹⁸⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 80

40/1

All the better for debut when landing 11-runner Kempton novice (6f) in September, from worst of the draw and similar form when runner-up at Goodwood (6f) thereafter. Gelded ahead of return/up 2f in trip. Market should guide.

Form: 512-

Brayden Star²⁰³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Tom Marquand| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 79| BF

14/1

80,000 son of Twilight Son who showed race-by-race progress in trio of maiden/novice events at 7f last summer, taking second final 100 yds over 7f at Kempton final start. That form has substance and worth a look now handicapping on return.

Form: 742-

(5)

Ikhtiraaq¹⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 79

8/1

Invincible Spirit colt. Runner-up first 2 starts in pair of 6f minor events and step forward to get off the mark at Leicester (7f) in October, holding on gamely having raced freely. Changed hands for 220,000 gns thereafter and open to further progress now handicapping.

Form: 221-

(16)

Giewont^e/c,t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: David Egan| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 76| D

40/1

Some promise in maiden/novice events on turf last summer and improver in AW handicaps for new yard, landing 7f/1m events at Lingfield in recent months. Handicapper applies a little more pressure now stepping up in class.

Form: 825-511

(9)

Never In Fourth¹³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: George Rooke⁽³⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 72

40/1

Steadily progressive sort who got off the mark in a 7f Wolverhampton nursery in November and followed up over extended mile at that venue later that month. In good hands and he may do better again back on turf.

Form: 305311-

New Shepard¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Eddery| OR: 72| D

80/1

Positive start in handicaps over 1m at Kempton this winter, finishing runner-up either side of success over 1m in December. Disappointed on first start for 11 weeks at Doncaster (10.2f) late last month and quickly back down in trip here.

Form: 8621-27

Sicilian Vito¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: S De Sousa| T: J Ryan| OR: 70

12/1

Showed ability in handful of AW maiden/novice events at up to 1¼m in recent months, matching previous best when third over that trip at Kempton in March. Entitled to hold more chance now handicapping and interesting what the market makes of him.

Form: 6-333

A host of unexposed 3-y-os in opposition in a race that should throw up plenty of winners, the vote in favour of ALDHAJA. A winner on debut at Southwell, he stepped up further when runner-up at Lingfield (1m) last month and promises to do better again now handicapping on turf. Similar comments apply to Tranquil Night and Tylos, who head up the dangers. Brayden Star and Ikhtiraaq complete the shortlist.
