Danger Alert^b³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: G Boughey| OR: 89| D

9/1

Fairly useful gelding. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Kempton (6f, 5/2) 30 days ago, suited by emphasis on speed. This tougher.

Form: 224-121

Desert Cop⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 79| D

11/1

Has improved with every run and got off the mark having his first go at 6f when making all in good style in Kempton novice 51 days ago. Bare form needs improving upon quite a bit, however.

Form: 921

(1)

Michaela's Boy¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Frederick Larson| T: M Appleby| OR: 94| C

50/1

Useful colt. Course winner. Three wins from 11 runs last year. 12½ lengths eighth of 9 to Perdika in listed race (9/1) at Chantilly (5.5f, soft) 17 days ago, possibly unsuited by the soft ground returned to turf. Progressive on AW so worth another chance.

Form: 29411-8

(2)

New Definition⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: C Lee| T: J Tate| OR: 99| D

11/1

Useful colt. Latest win at Lingfield in December. Excellent short-head second of 7 to Iconic Moment in listed race at Lingfield (7f, AW) last month before excuses at Chelmsford last week.

Form: 7321-20

(9)

Shouldvebeenaring³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 103| D

2/1

Useful colt. Three wins from 7 runs last year. 3/1, 1¼ lengths fifth of 7 to Iconic Moment in listed race at Lingfield (7f, AW) 34 days ago, left poorly placed. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 1462-15

(5)

The X O³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: R Havlin| T: J Ryan| OR: 87| D

22/1

Fairly useful colt. Latest win at Southwell in February. 1¾ lengths fifth of 8 to Danger Alert in handicap (10/3) at Kempton (6f) 30 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Remains open to improvement but others still preferred.

Form: 22-1315

(6)

Glorious Angel¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 89| C| D

33/1

Fairly useful filly. Course winner. Latest win here in January. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 7/1) 11 days ago. Vulnerable to progressive sorts.

Form: 113455

(8)

Hello Queen³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Shane Gray| T: K A Ryan| OR: 79| CD

12/1

Better for debut when winning novice at Wolverhampton (6.1f) and progressed again to defy penalty at this C&D 35 days ago, making all and beating a subsequent winner. Respected but needs to take another big step forward.

Form: 4-11

(10)

Perdika^t¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Stott| T: G Boughey| OR: 104| D

13/2

Prolific on the AW last year (4-5), latest win at Kempton in December. Took form to another level when narrow winner of listed event at Chantilly 17 days ago by a head. Respected.

Form: 1-94271

Forecasts

Shouldvebeenaring (2/1), Shaquille (5/2), Perdika (13/2), Danger Alert (9/1), Desert Cop (11/1), New Definition (11/1), Hello Queen (12/1), The X O (22/1), Glorious Angel (33/1), Michaela's Boy (50/1)

SHAQUILLE took his form to another level when defying a penalty at Wolverhampton in December, clocking a good time in the process, and he shades the vote over Shouldvebeenaring, who was left with too much to do at Lingfield last time. Perdika is another to consider having won a listed event at Chantilly last month.
