Satanic Moon¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 63

3/1

Caught further back than ideal when a creditable second on handicap debut at Chelmsford earlier this month. Likely to continue improving and should be suited by the step up in trip, so ranks highly.

Form: 3552

(9)

National Charter²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 61

8/1

Best effort when fourth at Lingfield on debut and hasn't matched that level since, including on handicap debut last time. Bit to prove now on first turf start.

Form: 4-076

(10)

Mostly Cloudy⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Ben Robinson| T: G Tutty| OR: 60

4/1

Caught eye when fourth at Nottingham (10f) last week, never nearer under hands-and-heels ride. Mark looks stiff on his achievements so far, but he remains with potential upped markedly in trip.

Form: 600-4

(2)

Moonlit Warrior¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Dylan Hogan| T: M L W Bell| OR: 59

5/2

Suited by the emphasis on speed when getting the better of Satanic Moon at Chelmsford last time. Up only 3 lb and he can make a bold bid to follow up here.

Form: 00-81

(8)

Notime To Pass²⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 56

14/1

No impact in minor event/maidens but he's from the family of the smart Wells Farhh Go and looks the type to do better handicapping over longer trips.

Form: 080-

(4)

Bukela¹⁸¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Harry Russell⁽³⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 55

22/1

Some promise in the pedigree but was always behind in 3 minor events last season. First run for yard after leaving Stef Keniry. Makes handicap debut.

Form: 779-

(11)

Purple Reign¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: B A Curtis| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 54

8/1

Looked limited in minor events and failed to improve when eighth behind Moonlit Warrior at Chelmsford on handicap debut. Needs to show significantly more.

Form: 9-008

(7)

Global Peace²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: G Lee| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 52

50/1

Well held in maiden/novice events up to 10f and would be a shock winner over a markedly longer trip on handicap debut.

Form: 864

(12)

Mogilevich^p1²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: D Menuisier| OR: 49

66/1

Has only beaten a single rival home across 3 starts in maidens/minor event. Hard to fancy on handicap debut with cheekpieces applied.

Form: 00-0

(3)

Marbuzet^b¹⁹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 48

22/1

Some promise when fifth in a Nottingham nursery (8f) on his final start at 2 yrs, finishing well after hampered start. Bred to be suited by middle distances, so is interesting over extended trip on return.

Form: 0795-

(5)

Peace Angel^p⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Kieran Schofield⁽⁵⁾| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 48

33/1

Hasn't landed much of a blow in various events yet, sixth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 40 days ago. Needs to find more.

Form: 6987-56

(13)

Lisa's Dream^b,t²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Cam Hardie| T: D Carroll| OR: 47

66/1

Hasn't looked straightforward when finishing down the field in 6 starts to date.

Form: 95805-0

(1)

Carbonado^v²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: A Mullen| T: R A Fahey| OR: 45

80/1

Went in snatches on return at Wolverhampton last time and doesn't make appeal even in this lowly grade.

Form: 5007-8

Forecasts

Moonlit Warrior (5/2), Satanic Moon (3/1), Mostly Cloudy (4/1), National Charter (8/1), Purple Reign (8/1), Notime To Pass (14/1), Bukela (22/1), Marbuzet (22/1), Peace Angel (33/1), Global Peace (50/1), Lisa's Dream (66/1), Mogilevich (66/1), Carbonado (80/1)

SATANIC MOON was narrowly denied by Moonlit Warrior at Chelmsford last time, but the race panned out better for the winner there and the Johnstons' representative can turn the tables over this longer trip. Moonlit Warrior himself is the obvious danger, whilst Mostly Cloudy likely has better to come.
