Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: P Cosgrave| T: George Baker| OR: 80

16/1

€57,000 purchase who caused a surprise when taking a 7f Ascot novice back in July. Ran to a similar level when fourth of 8 under a penalty back at that venue (1m) in September and bit more needed on return/handicap bow.

Sip And Smile¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: R L Moore| T: G Boughey| OR: 80

5/2

Produced a career best to record a first win on turf in 8-runner handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 12 days ago, showing a good attitude ridden more positively. 3 lb rise fair and can give another good account.

Form: 116431

Super Lover²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: M Harley| T: A King| OR: 79

3/1

Promising individual who shaped well on qualifying run when second of 9 in a novice event at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 24 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Better to come now handicapping

Form: 53-2

Roxzoff²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: C Hills| OR: 77

12/1

Resumed winning ways after a couple of good efforts in defeat in 7-runner handicap at Brighton (7f, good to firm) 29 days ago, soon clear. 7 lb higher in a deeper race now but should continue to run well.

Form: 811221

Stellar Queen²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: C G Cox| OR: 76

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden who wasn't seen to best effect on her handicap debut at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 20 days ago, needing stiffer test. Worth another chance.

Form: 723-6

Ar El Bee¹⁹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J P Spencer| T: D Menuisier| OR: 76

11/1

Showed clear ability first 2 starts last season. Disappointing in similar event at Saint-Cloud on final outing but could get back on track now venturing into handicaps after 6 months off. Has been gelded.

Form: 437-

Youthful King¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Charles Bishop| T: L A Dace| OR: 74

40/1

Seemed to excel himself back on turf when third of 11 in handicap (40/1) at Newmarket (8f, good) 14 days ago, though had the run of the race.

Form: 515-843

Griffin Park¹¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 74

25/1

Improved when off the mark in11-runner maiden at Southwell (7.1f, 3/1) in February, driven over 2f out and leading final 100 yds. Gelded subsequently and open to further progress now handicapping back up in trip.

Form: 602-1

Two Tempting⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 74| D

5/1

Showed improved form to get off the mark in 8-runner handicap at Kempton (8f) 8 days ago, proving game. Escapes a penalty for that success, so much respected in his follow-up bid.

Form: 82241

Codify²⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Fahy| T: C G Cox| OR: 73

25/1

Consistent rather than progressive last season. Improvement needed on return.

20/1

Scored at Kempton in September and ran at least as well in defeat when fourth there (1m) on final outing. Reappears from a 2 lb higher mark and more required.

Fozzie Bear¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: B R Johnson| OR: 72

18/1

Creditable second of 12 in handicap (10/3) at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 17 days ago, though no match for winner. Remains vulnerable to less-exposed types.

Form: 8-53542

Sip And Smile (5/2), Super Lover (3/1), Two Tempting (5/1), Mizzen You (7/1), Ar El Bee (11/1), Roxzoff (12/1), Stellar Queen (12/1), Destiny Queen (16/1), Fozzie Bear (18/1), Be Lucky My Son (20/1), Griffin Park (25/1), Codify (25/1), Youthful King (40/1), New Shepard (50/1)

A competitive 3-y-o event with the vote going to SUPER LOVER, who shaped well on his qualifying run after 5 months off at Windsor recently and should have much better to come now handicapping. Two Tempting escapes a penalty for his recent win at Kempton so warrants plenty of respect, while Griffin Park and Roxzoff are others to note.
