Convection²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 72

2/1

Ended 2-y-o campaign with success from 5 lb lower mark at Kempton (7f) in November. Solid start to present campaign, good second of 6 in handicap at Newmarket (1m, good) 21 days ago. Expected to be firmly in the mix again.

Form: 5581-32

Steel Duchess^p1⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: S M Levey| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 69

11/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 10 in minor event at Yarmouth (1m) 44 days ago, not knocked about. Cheekpieces on for handicap debut and interesting what the market makes of her.

Form: 89-3

Amanzoe³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| OR: 69| BF

3/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 5/2, fourth of 9 in maiden at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 33 days ago, keeping on under hands-and-heels ride. Return to 1m promises to suit now handicapping and she's in excellent hands. Open to improvement.

Form: 00-4

You're On Mute¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: W Buick| T: C F Wall| OR: 67

8/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 40/1, fifth of 13 in maiden at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 17 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Booking of Buick a plus. Makes handicap debut. Likely to improve.

Form: 85-5

Latenightmistake¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽³⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 67

10/1

Improved on debut form when landing 5-runner Newcastle maiden (5f) in February. Disappointed next time but more like it when runner-up on turf/handicap debut at Carlisle (6.9f, soft), sticking to task. Step back up in trip worth exploring on that.

Form: 5162

Streaky Bay^h⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Tyler Heard⁽⁵⁾| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 66

22/1

Below form sixth of 10 in maiden at Chelmsford (7f, 18/1) 48 days ago. Needs to step up for return to this longer trip back on turf.

Glittering Choice²⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: N Callan| T: H Palmer| OR: 65

9/2

Modest form in trio of novice/maiden events at 6f and never figured in face of stiff task when well held in Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar final start. Up in trip on return for Hugo Palmer and betting should guide.

Forecasts

Convection (2/1), Amanzoe (3/1), Glittering Choice (9/2), Naadyaa (15/2), You're On Mute (8/1), Special Times (10/1), Latenightmistake (10/1), Steel Duchess (11/1), Simply Gorgeous (16/1), Streaky Bay (22/1)

An interesting race of its type with the vote in favour of AMANZOE. She didn't shape at all badly with a view to a switch to handicaps when keeping on for fourth under hands-and-heels riding at Thirsk 33 days ago and this return to 1m promises to suit. You're On Mute similarly appeals as a likely improver and is feared, along with Convection. Naadyaa also caught the eye to a degree latest and completes the shortlist.
