Brabusach¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: T Eaves| T: I Furtado

100/1

Profitable gelding who failed to match debut Kempton fourth (fair form) when eleventh of 12 in novice event at Lingfield (7f) 15 days ago. Probably one for handicaps moving forward.

Form: 40-

Doves Of Peace

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Dylan Hogan| T: M L W Bell

11/1

34,000 gns foal, €77,000 yearling, Camacho gelding. Half-brother to winner up to 1¼m Bavardages. Dam, useful French winner up to 9.2f (2-y-o 7f/1m winner). Betting should prove a useful guide on debut.

Harry Magnus³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: C Hills| OR: 82

8/13

Harry Angel colt who has displayed race-by-race progress to date, improving another chunk when second in 8-runner Wolverhampton novice (6f) 5 weeks ago. Possible there's more to come, including over further. Big shout.

Inspired Knowhow

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Stefano Cherchi| T: M Botti

12/1

£72,000 yearling, Exceed And Excel colt. Dam, 1m winner (including US minor stakes and at 2 yrs), half-sister to useful 5f/6f winner Beyond Equal. Another requiring a market check on debut for clues.

Form:

Shot Of Love¹⁰³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby

9/1

Invincible Spirit colt who displayed promise on first of his 2 starts for Ger Lyons over 7f in Ireland during the summer. Acquired by present stable for €35,000 in November and feasible to think he can do better again as a 3-y-o.

Form: 60-

The X O²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: J Ryan

11/2

Expensive breeze-up buy who showed something like debut form (on back of 7 months off) when second in 9-runner Chelmsford novice (6f) 4 weeks ago. Remains with potential and he promises to come on for that run.

Form: 22-

Annie Law²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe

33/1

Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in minor event at Chelmsford (6f, 40/1) 29 days ago, weakening 1f out. In good hands but she rates a likely longer-term project.

Form: 06-

(8)

Shine Honey Shine

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke

12/1

Havana Grey filly. Dam, 1m winner who stayed 1¼m, half-sister to useful 8.3f winner Cliche. Yard adept at readying a newcomer, so market support behind her would look significant.

Form:

(10)

Wiccan⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Cieren Fallon| T: H Palmer

33/1

£42,000 yearling, Zoustar filly. Modicum of promise amidst obvious signs of greenness in sprint maidens over 5/6f in recent weeks. Another likely type to make her mark in handicaps moving forward.

Form: 46-

Forecasts

Harry Magnus (8/13), Danger Alert (3/1), The X O (11/2), Shot Of Love (9/1), Doves Of Peace (11/1), Shine Honey Shine (12/1), Inspired Knowhow (12/1), Rose King (25/1), Annie Law (33/1), Wiccan (33/1), Brabusach (100/1)

HARRY MAGNUS took another big step forward when runner-up over this trip at Wolverhampton 5 weeks ago, outpaced early but staying on to be nearest at the finish. He gets the nod to go one place better, with Danger Alert, who was just behind the selection last time and The X O others fancied to figure.
