Saleet¹⁹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Sean Kirrane⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 71| D

20/1

Carlisle novice winner in August but in nothing like the same form both starts to end 2-y-o campaign, albeit she was shuffled back on nursery debut. Lot more needed to defy this mark.

Carvetii¹⁷⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Harrison Shaw| T: D Carroll| OR: 70

13/2

Progressive form in his qualifying runs but didn't seem to relish soft ground on nursery debut in October. Reappears with yard in reasonable nick.

Form: 5343-

Havana Rum^p¹⁸¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 69| D

8/1

Reacted well to cheekpieces and posted a big career best when winning 11-runner nursery at Newcastle (6f) in October, keeping on well. 9 lb higher on return to action but every chance there's more to come. Has been gelded.

Form: 08801-

Parr Fire¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Faye McManoman| T: N Tinkler| OR: 68

40/1

Made a winning debut at Doncaster in May. Rather in-and-out later as a 2-y-o (albeit set some stiff tasks) and well held on reappearance switched to the AW 17 days ago.

Form: 64496-7

Wreck It Ryley^b¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Oliver Stammers⁽³⁾| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 67

8/1

Winner at Southwell in February and has continued the good work since, blinkered when second of 13 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 11 days ago. Back up in trip and well weighted if as effective on turf.

Form: 413222

Jack Of Clubs²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: M Dods| OR: 67

17/2

Promise both starts over 6f during the autumn and displayed plenty of zip when fifth of 6 in novice event at Newcastle (5f) 20 days ago. Makes handicap debut.

Form: 32-5

Nightout^p,t¹⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 66

7/1

Tongue strap on for first time, tenth of 12 in nursery at Doncaster (6f, heavy, 9/1) in November. Heavy ground perhaps an excuse and he'd been shaping up quite well prior to that.

Form: 453330-

Cinque Verde^t³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| OR: 65

7/1

Continued race-by-race progress when fifth of 7 in novice event at Southwell (6.1f) 35 days ago, having run of race. Makes handicap debut with stable in excellent form.

Form: 4-35

Another Baar¹⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ryan Sexton⁽³⁾| T: A Keatley| OR: 61

5/1

Debut fifth in August was a fair start but unable to match that twice since, fifth of 7 in novice event at Catterick (5f, heavy, 15/2), slowly away. Off 177 days. Makes handicap debut from a stiff-looking mark.

Form: 585-

Purple Martini¹⁰^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: G Lee| T: B Haslam| OR: 54| D

10/3

Left 2-y-o form well behind on return from 5 months off when landing 12-runner handicap at Redcar 10 days ago. Penalty to carry but she's fit and in form.

Form: 65074-1

(6)

Bedazzling¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Jonny Peate⁽⁵⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 59| D

100/1

Winner at Chelmsford (6f) in November who ran best race to date when third in 14-runner Newcastle handicap in December. Below best at first-named venue and having changed hands for just 1,500 gns, she offered very little on turf at Thirsk a fortnight ago.

Form: 1573-69

Forecasts

Purple Martini (10/3), Another Baar (5/1), Carvetii (13/2), Cinque Verde (7/1), Nightout (7/1), Wreck It Ryley (8/1), Havana Rum (8/1), Jack Of Clubs (17/2), Saleet (20/1), Parr Fire (40/1), Bedazzling (100/1)

HAVANA RUM reacted really well to cheekpieces when a taking winner at Newcastle in October and having been gelded ahead of reappearance for his in-form yard, there's every chance he will pick up where he left off. Wreck It Ryley and Purple Martini are fit and in form so they are fancied to get involved.
