Ivan Drago²⁰⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: K T O'Neill| T: C Wallis

300/1

Twice-raced maiden who showed little in a couple of starts in AW novice events for Richard Spencer late last year. Best watched having changed hands for just 2,500 gns thereafter.

Form: 97-

Bear Profit²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Hollie Doyle| T: S C Williams| D

4/6

Useful prospect. Won 9-runner minor event at Chelmsford (5f, 17/2) on debut 4 weeks ago, keeping on well. Looks up to defying a penalty.

Form: 1

(6)

Imperial Khan¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: T Hamilton| T: D O'Meara

33/1

Kodiac colt. Brother to smart winner up to 6f Nomadic Empire. Shaped as if in need of the experience when third in a C&D novice 2 weeks ago and he rates a likely improver with that under his belt.

Form: 3

(4)

Phinow¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: P J McDonald| T: C Hills| OR: 73

4/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Showed improved form and unlucky not to finish shade closer when second of 7 in maiden at Chelmsford (6f, 3/1) 15 days ago, forced to switch last ½f and keeping on. That ought not to prove his limit and fancied to be in the mix.

Form: 45-2

(7)

Sir Philip

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: H Candy

33/1

Heeraat gelding. Dam maiden (stayed 7.5f). Likely best watched on debut.

Time Shadow¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Swift| T: A D Brown| CD

11/1

Cotai Glory filly who left sole 2-y-o effort in her wake when running out a 33/1 winner of a C&D maiden 18 days ago, making all from Cotai West. However, may struggle to concede 5 lb to that rival here.

Form: 0-1

(9)

Alwajd²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: George Downing| T: Ian Williams

250/1

Twice-raced maiden. 16/1, first run since leaving Charles Hills when seventh of 11 in minor event at Pontefract (6f, soft) 25 days ago, slowly away. Handicaps may be more her bag over further in due course.

Form: 5-7

(2)

Cotai West¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan

5/1

Encouraging start when third in a Beverley maiden (5f) last summer and improved on that whilst looking unlucky not to push Time Shadow very close over C&D 18 days ago (not clear run over 1f out). Can feature once more.

Form: 3-2

(5)

Dorothee^h1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Louis Steward| T: C Fellowes

25/1

Equiano filly who makes loads of appeal on paper and showed ability amidst greenness when third behind Time Shadow in a C&D maiden on debut 18 days ago, weakening final 1f. Open to improvement with that under her belt.

Form: 3

(1)

Rawasi Almeydan³³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Cieren Fallon| T: C Allen

18/1

Havana Gold filly who was very easy to back but showed ability when third of 12 in a Yarmouth novice (5f) last June, getting the hang of things late on. Absent since but open to improvement nevertheless moving forward.

Form: 3-

Forecasts

Bear Profit (4/6), Phinow (4/1), Cotai West (5/1), Time Shadow (11/1), Rawasi Almeydan (18/1), Dorothee (25/1), Imperial Khan (33/1), Sir Philip (33/1), Alwajd (250/1), Ivan Drago (300/1)

BEAR PROFIT knew his job and looked a potentially useful sprinter at the very least when accounting for 8 rivals on debut at Chelmsford (5f) 4 weeks ago and he gets the nod to defy a penalty and quickly make it 2-2 now partnered by Hollie Doyle. Cotai West looked a shade unfortunate behind her C&D conqueror Time Shadow 18 days ago and may reverse those placings. Phinow makes each-way appeal.
