Asjad¹⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: D Tudhope| T: James Horton| OR: 107| BF| CD

4/1

Took his form up a level for this yard last season, notching a third win over 6.5f here in September. Well backed but unable to get past the resolute Dakota Gold on final outing and should be in the mix on return (made a winning reappearance at Redcar 12 months ago).

Commanche Falls^p¹⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 112| D

11/1

Really game sort who enjoyed another cracking season last year, landing the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood for second year running then filling the places on his next 3 starts. Never travelling when down the field over C&D in November but has an excellent record fresh so he's high on the shortlist.

Form: U12235-

Ehraz¹⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Jim Crowley| T: R Hannon| OR: 105| D

9/2

Smart gelding who kept some good company in sprints last year, sixth in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot. Made short work a couple of inferior rivals down in grade at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) when last seen 5 months ago and has been gelded in the interim.

El Caballo²⁸⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 112| BF| D

9/2

Runner-up on debut but then reeled off 6 wins on the spin, latest when touching off Flaming Rib in the Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock last May. Possibly unsuited by conditions when joint-favourite for Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) and not seen since. Interesting.

Form: 1/11110-

Jump The Gun^p²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: D Allan| T: I Jardine| OR: 96| C| D

80/1

Scored twice on the turf last season (including here over 7f) but was out of his depth in a listed contest on return at Wolverhampton last month so set to face another struggle.

Form: 10524-8

King's Lynn¹⁶⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 109| CD

4/1

Better than ever when landing Temple Stakes at Haydock last May but limitations exposed at the top level thereafter, latest when 6¾ lengths tenth of 18 to Kinross in Champions Sprint Stakes at Ascot (6f, good to soft). Not dismissed returning in calmer waters.

Tactical²¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: G Lee| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 102| D

22/1

Won Windsor Castle/Newmarket Group 2 as a 2-y-o and mostly in good form last term, finishing just out of the places in a blanket finish in handicap at Ascot (7f, good) 7 months ago. Has since left Andrew Balding (150,000 gns) and been gelded but percentage call is to look elsewhere back sprinting.

Form: 5/06406-

Fast Response¹⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| OR: 103| CD

6/1

Took her form up several notches on testing ground last autumn, scoring at Nottingham and twice at this track (first one over 5f). Conditions should be in her favour to show that sort of form again so provided she's ready to roll, she can be in the shake-up after 5 months off.

Form: 331171-

(5)

Vadream^p²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: K Shoemark| T: C Fellowes| OR: 100| D

9/1

It's now twelve runs without success but stepped up on her reappearance when runner-up in a minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February, conceding first run. Cheekpieces back on for this return to turf but others seemingly have more compelling claims.

Form: 063-926

(2)

Wilderness Girl¹⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 100

33/1

Useful filly who showed improved form tackling heavy ground for the first time when runner-up in listed race at Longchamp (7f, heavy) back in October. Has since left Andrew Balding and needs to back that effort up returning from over 5 months off.

Forecasts

Asjad (4/1), King's Lynn (4/1), Ehraz (9/2), El Caballo (9/2), Fast Response (6/1), Vadream (9/1), Commanche Falls (11/1), Tactical (22/1), Wilderness Girl (33/1), Spirit Of Light (33/1), Jump The Gun (80/1), Temple Bruer (100/1)

A starting point of the season for most of these and one that boasts an excellent record fresh is COMMANCHE FALLS. He gets the nod to enhance that statistic further and get the better of the prolific El Caballo, who hasn't been seen since finishing down the field in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot but faces far more suitable conditions for his return. Fast Response and Asjad are another couple worth keeping a close eye on.
