Twice-raced maiden. 6/4, fourth of 11 in minor event at Newcastle (7.1f) in November, no extra late on having been keener than ideal. Absent since but he's a big player on his debut form now switched to turf.

Twice-raced maiden who improved on debut form whilst still looking in need of experience when sixth of 10 in minor event at Thirsk (7f, soft) in September. Gelded subsequently and likely there's better to come this term, particularly in handicaps.

Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fourth of 12 in nursery at York (7.9f, good to soft) in October, effort over 2f out and one paced. Gelded subsequently and forecast ground conditions will hold no fears on return. Worth considering.

Forecasts

Three Yorkshiremen (6/5), Divine Libra (13/8), Nine Six Five (6/1), Mascani (14/1), Headabovetherest (18/1), Wurkin Ninetofive (25/1), Yorkstone (50/1), Naughty George (66/1), Intoxicata (80/1), Loveliest (150/1)

Verdict

DIVINE LIBRA couldn't quite match his debut form when fourth in a Newcastle novice back in November but he was a shade keener than ideal and, back from a break, he could be up to getting off the mark now switched to turf. Three Yorkshiremen, who set a similar standard himself as a juvenile, is feared, with newcomer Nine Six Five well worthy of note also.

  1. Divine Libra13/8
  2. Three Yorkshiremen6/5
  3. Nine Six Five6/1
