Sterling Knight¹⁰⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 75

14/1

Winner at Wolverhampton in December. 9/2, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) when last seen in January. Others make more appeal for win purposes.

Form: 23771-4

Nordic Glory⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 75| D

22/1

Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 9/4) 54 days ago. 6 lb higher returned to turf and another step forward will be needed.

Form: 5-48131

(5)

Cityjet³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: M Meade| OR: 75| BF

8/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 7/4 and hooded for 1st time, third of 9 in minor event at Southwell (6.1f) 39 days ago. Headgear discarded switched to turf for this handicap debut and he merits consideration.

Form: 2-23

(6)

Hodler^h1³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J R Boyle| OR: 75

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 8/1, bit below form fourth of 8 in minor event at Kempton (6f) 30 days ago. Hood on 1st time for this handicap debut and improvement is needed.

Form: 537-4

(8)

Sixth Street²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 74

4/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 9/2, good second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 25 days ago. Represents last year's winning yard (also responsible for Monitor) and he needs considering.

Form: 2423-2

Justcallmepete³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D C Costello| T: H J Evans| OR: 74| D

11/4

Promising individual. 7/2, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 39 days ago, overcoming positional bias. 6 lb rise fair enough and there should be better to come.

Form: 37-51

(7)

Devaste¹⁸⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: T Kent| OR: 72| BF

10/1

7/1, creditable fourth of 16 in nursery at Newmarket (7f, soft). Off 6 months ahead of this debut for new yard and he looks vulnerable.

Form: 915884-

Nickleby⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K Shoemark| T: C Hills| OR: 72| D

6/1

Winner at Southwell in January. 9/2, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 49 days ago. 1 lb lower back on turf and each-way shout for in-form yard.

Form: 5330-14

(10)

Monitor¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 72

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, last of 6 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good) 11 days ago. Sizeable step forward needed now pitched into a handicap and, in any case, Sixth Street appears to be the stable No 1.

Form: 565-6

(9)

Pull The Lever¹⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: James Doyle| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 72

11/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 13/2, third of 8 in maiden at Doncaster (6f, soft). Off 170 days ahead of this handicap debut and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 463-

(11)

Mizmar^b¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 71

12/1

Blinkered for 1st time, respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 13/2) 10 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Down in trip for this turf debut and he has to enter calculations.

Form: 74-4254

(3)

Ideal Guest¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Tom Marquand| T: G G Margarson| OR: 67

14/1

20/1, seventh of 9 in minor event at Chelmsford City (5f) 18 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Back up in trip. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 53550-7

Forecasts

Justcallmepete (11/4), Sixth Street (4/1), Nickleby (6/1), Cityjet (8/1), Devaste (10/1), Pull The Lever (11/1), Mizmar (12/1), Sterling Knight (14/1), Ideal Guest (14/1), Nordic Glory (22/1), Hodler (25/1), Monitor (40/1)

JUSTCALLMEPETE boasts a good sprinting pedigree and raised his game considerably when making a successful handicap debut at Southwell last month, winning with more in hand than the margin of victory suggests. He remains open to improvement and should cope with this 6 lb higher mark. Cityjet is second choice ahead of Nickleby and Mizmar.
