Good Show²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Jim Crowley| T: K Dalgleish

3/1

Strong at the finish when making a winning debut at Hamilton in August. Set a very stiff task and while he was last of 9 in Group 3 company at Ascot, he was far from disgraced. Big player dropped in class.

Form: 19

Mythical Hero¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: G Lee| T: A West

200/1

Fairly useful hurdler but never a factor on Flat debut over 10f last month. This trip more suitable.

Form: 7

Coquelicot^t²⁵²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: T E Whelan| T: A J Honeyball

12/1

Pretty useful bumper winner in 2019/20 and landed 5-runner handicap hurdle in November. Modest form only on Flat debut.

Form: 5-

Aegis Power²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 72

11/1

Fairly useful gelding. 4/1, respectable third of 7 in maiden at Pontefract (12f, good) 23 days ago. Pretty exposed but should be thereabouts.

Form: 32-3253

Artistic Choice^v1¹³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: David Egan| T: M L W Bell| OR: 83

13/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for first time, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap (4/1) at Limerick (17f, good). Off 131 days. First run for yard after leaving Donnacha Aidan O'Brien and this is a drop in class with a visor fitted.

Form: 5-2235

Big Cheese³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K Stott| T: E Bethell

25/1

Stepped up on debut run when fourth of 7 in novice event at Ripon (12f, good, 33/1) 32 days ago. Another leap forward required.

Form: 34

Self Inflicted Sid²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett

13/8

Promising start when fourth of 7 in novice event (11/1) at Ascot (12f, good to firm) on debut 26 days ago. Step up in trip seems sure to suit.

Form: 4

Oblong Song¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian| OR: 72

7/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap (5/1) at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Significantly up in trip.

Forecasts

Self Inflicted Sid (13/8), Good Show (3/1), Oblong Song (7/2), Artistic Choice (13/2), Aegis Power (11/1), Coquelicot (12/1), Big Cheese (25/1), Ideal Dream (150/1), Mythical Hero (200/1), Queen Of The Road (200/1)

GOOD SHOW seemed to excel himself when not beaten all that far in a Group 3 on just his second start and, now dropped markedly in class, he can regain the winning thread. Artistic Choice showed enough when trained in Ireland to make him the main danger starting out for a new yard fitted with headgear.
