5/2

Ribchester colt who again ran to a fair level when fourth on qualifying run in a 1m Lingfield maiden (1m) 16 days ago, headed final 1f having hand run of the race. Needs to take a step forward now switched to handicaps.

Form: 04-4

Victory House^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Fellowes| OR: 66

5/4

Strong in betting and ran best race when runner-up over 9.5f at Wolverhampton in December. Not ideally placed and proved too lit up to see his race out tackling 10f at Lingfield since and he's one to consider from this mark returned to 1m

Naomi's Charm⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽³⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 63

15/8

Lightly-raced maiden. Ran up to best when beaten just over 1 length in to third in 5-runner Newcastle handicap (1m) 6 days ago, leading around 2f out and collared final 100 yds. Should give another good account in an open-looking affair.

Forecasts

Victory House (5/4), Naomi's Charm (15/8), Ray Of Colours (5/2), Dancing Gypsy (5/1)

VICTORY HOUSE raced a little too freely and ultimately failed to see his race out over further at Lingfield recently, yet he'd previously highlighted his mark a workable one when runner-up at Wolverhampton and he could be the answer dropped back in trip. Naomi's Charm may emerge as the chief threat.
