Fair filly who landed a Kempton maiden (1m) back in August and not disgraced next 2 starts in novice company. Well below best at listed level on final start at Newmarket (1m) in October but this rates more suitable on return to action.

Blue Universe¹¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 71WS

10/3

Lightly-raced maiden. Good third of 10 in nursery at Kempton (1m) in December, switched 1f out, kept on. Good chance he can do better as a 3-y-o now stamina is tested further. Had wind op.

The Renegade^p1¹⁸¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: P J McDonald| T: H Palmer| OR: 69

3/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 8 in minor event at Ayr (1m) when last seen, possibly not relishing the underfoot conditions. Pick of his efforts in novice/maiden company came on AW and longer trip on return very much promises to suit. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Form: 374-

Razoni (13/8), The Renegade (3/1), Blue Universe (10/3), Fariba (13/2), Emily's Eclipse (12/1), Enola Grey (22/1)

Off the mark at third attempt in novice company at Newcastle (7f) in February, RAZONI matched that level when runner-up on handicap debut at Southwell (1m) 4 weeks ago and he shades the vote to come out on top now his stamina is tested further. The Renegade and Blue Universe head up the dangers in an interesting race.
