Nooo More⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer| OR: 45

250/1

50/1, tenth of 12 in minor event at Newcastle (6f) 73 days ago. Impossible to fancy.

Form: 90-0840

United Approach²¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Billy Loughnane⁽⁵⁾| T: J Tate| D

5/6

Promising type. One win from 2 runs last year. 11/10, won 8-runner maiden at Ayr (6f, soft) when last seen in September. Likely capable of better still and he's the one to beat.

Form: 51-

Acreswood

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Barry McHugh| T: Adrian Nicholls

16/1

Mayson gelding. Dam lightly raced. Yard rarely strikes with newcomers and he's probably best watched on this occasion.

American Affair

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie

66/1

Washington DC gelding. Half-brother to 6f-7f winner Classy Al. Dam 5f winner. Yard's newcomers usually come on for a run.

Desert Games¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 75| BF

15/2

Thrice-raced maiden. 11/8, fourth of 9 in minor event at Pontefract (6f, heavy) 17 days ago. Looks vulnerable on the back of that effort.

Form: 35-4

(10)

Global Crisis¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Harrison Shaw| T: D Carroll

100/1

Twice-raced maiden. 7/1, last of 9 in minor event at Pontefract (6f, heavy) 17 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps later on.

Form: 4-9

(7)

Leap Day³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby

8/1

Promising sort. Third of 8 in minor event at Newcastle (6f, 50/1) on debut 35 days ago. Should progress with that experience to draw upon and likely to make his presence felt.

Form: 3

(9)

Smoky Mountain³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Fellowes| BF

18/5

Promising individual. Second of 10 in minor event (11/8) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 32 days ago (winner of that race wasn't disgraced in the Nell Gwyn last week). Open to improvement and should have a part to play.

Form: 42

(5)

Swanland²⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell

40/1

Twice-raced maiden. Tenth of 14 in minor event at Redcar (6f, good to firm, 20/1). Off 9 months and he's another who will probably be seen in a better light in handicaps further down the line.

Form: 70-

(8)

Victors Dream¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Mr Bradley Furniss⁽⁷⁾| T: M Botti

100/1

Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 9 in maiden at Southwell (6.1f, 16/1) 14 days ago. Sizeable step forward will be needed if he's to make an impact.

Form: 86

(1)

Sinful²⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Dane O'Neill| T: H Candy

10/1

Once-raced maiden. 25/1, ninth of 10 in minor event at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on debut/sole 2-y-o start, not clear run. Can be expected to leave that form well behind in time.

Form: 9-

Forecasts

United Approach (5/6), Smoky Mountain (18/5), Desert Games (15/2), Leap Day (8/1), Sinful (10/1), Kaidu (12/1), Acreswood (16/1), Swanland (40/1), Little Man (50/1), American Affair (66/1), Global Crisis (100/1), Victors Dream (100/1), Nooo More (250/1)

With UNITED APPROACH's penalty largely negated by top apprentice Billy Loughnane's claim, the Fastnet Rock colt is taken to add to his ready success in an Ayr maiden on the second of his two starts as a juvenile. Smoky Mountain has shaped well in a couple of runs over 7f on the all-weather and will be a threat if coping with this drop in trip. Leap Day's debut third at Newcastle was promising and he is best of the rest.
