3/1
Latest win at Southwell in January. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap there (8.1f, 7/2) 2 days ago, never nearer after typical slow start. Promising claimer now takes over in the saddle and he's respected up in trip.

10/3
Made the most of a good opportunity on first run since leaving Sir Michael Stoute in 6-runner minor event at Lingfield (10f, AW) 49 days ago, going clear final 1f. Into handicaps now and remains capable of better.

6/4
C&D winner. Three wins from 10 runs last year, latest win here in December. Creditable third of 12 in handicap (7/2) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 4 days ago, clear of rest. Remains one to be interested in.

Forecasts

Dream Harder (6/4), Zealot (3/1), Crystal Delight (10/3), Freak Out (10/1), Society Red (12/1), Busby (16/1), Absolute Ruler (80/1)

Verdict

DREAM HARDER had his winning run ended at Lingfield last week but he didn't really get the run of the green (no room over 2f out) and remains one to be interested in. Crystal Delight is a well-bred sort who should have more to offer now venturing into handicaps, while Zealot has been thriving for Mick Appleby and warrants respect stepping up in trip.

  2. Crystal Delight10/3
  3. Zealot3/1
