Juan Bermudez^t¹²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 86

10/3

Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Kempton (16f) in November. Below that level over same C&D the following month but remains low mileage and warrants respect down in trip.

9/2

Big career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 5/2) in September, plenty in hand. Wasn't able to follow up at Wolverhampton the following month but remains open to improvement on return.

5/1

Last of 11 in handicap at York (16.2f, good to soft, 6/1). Off 6 months. Back down in trip. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

16/1

28/1 and visor on for 1st time in this code, tenth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (16f) 37 days ago. Back down in trip. Makes limited appeal.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: George Bass⁽³⁾| T: D J Coakley| OR: 78| D

7/1

Seven wins from 26 Flat runs. Two wins from 6 runs last year. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 28/1) 35 days ago. Others more persuasive.

In The Breeze²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Theodore Ladd| T: M Appleby| OR: 77| D

11/4

Back from 5 months off when sixth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 14/1) 27 days ago, left poorly placed. Entitled to build on that.

Forecasts

Kensington (7/4), In The Breeze (11/4), Juan Bermudez (10/3), Sonnerie Power (9/2), Duke Of Verona (5/1), Party Island (7/1), Croeso Cymraeg (10/1), Brasca (12/1), Oman (16/1), Wind Your Neck In (16/1), Wise Glory (66/1)

SONNERIE POWER appeals as the type to do better this term and can make a winning return. Kensington also remains open to improvement and is feared most, whilst Juan Bermudez can also make his presence felt.
