Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: B A Curtis| T: R Fell & S Murray| D

12/1

Left debut well behind when winning Southwell novice in December but a useful effort probably needed if he's to defy a penalty on turf debut.

11/4

100,000 gns yearling, New Bay colt. Confirmed debut promise making all in a novice at Redcar (7f, heavy) in November. Likely to progress further and needs considering under a penalty.

15/8

Superbly bred and created a fine impression when a smooth winner of a Sandown novice (7f, heavy) on debut in September. Proved a let-down when favourite for the Horris Hill at Newbury following month but worth another chance to confirm debut promise back in a novice.

22/1

Better for debut when seventh of 13 in maiden at Lingfield (10f, AW) in November but another big step forward needed back down in trip.

Forecasts

Striking Star (15/8), Overrule (11/4), Theoryofeverything (10/3), Bill Silvers (5/1), Palamon (13/2), Lahab (8/1), Mr Squires (12/1), Greenwich (14/1), Major Major (22/1), Smile And Pay (100/1), Haaf A Diamond (125/1), Tees George (125/1), Cantalupo Bella (150/1), Mayjority (200/1), The White Elephant (200/1)

STRIKING STAR disappointed when favourite for the Horris Hill at Newbury but is well worth another chance back down in class given the manner of his debut win at Sandown. Overrule looked potentially useful when making all at Redcar in November so must be respected, while Theoryofeverything is a newcomer to note.
