8/1

Lightly-raced course winner. 6/1, third of 4 in nursery at Newmarket (8f, good) when last seen 7 months ago. Up in trip and needs to raise his game a notch.

Form: 26213-

It's All About You¹⁸⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D Tudhope| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 82

Thrice-raced winner. Won 14-runner minor event at Newbury (8f, heavy, 17/2), battling well. Off 6 months and moves up in trip for this handicap debut. Needs to improve.

Form: 351-

Westerton¹⁹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: A King| OR: 82

5/2

Promising sort. 14/1, second of 10 in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, soft) on final 2-y-o start in October (gelded since). Will be suited by this stiffer test now handicapping and he's high on the shortlist.

Form: 452-

Wonder Legend¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Ferguson| OR: 81

5/2

Promising individual. Won 6-runner maiden (5/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 17 days ago. Further progress likely now that he ventures down the handicap route and should go close if proving equally effective on turf.

Form: 5-21

(4)

Outrace³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 69

11/1

Winner at Kempton in February. Good second of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 11/2) 3 days ago, having run of race. Efforts on turf last season were modest and not sure that the return to this trip will be in his favour.

Form: 213342

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Rowan Scott| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 68

8/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 13 in minor event at Kempton (8f, 100/1). Off 130 days and goes up in trip for this handicap debut. Likely improver.

Forecasts

Wonder Legend (5/2), Westerton (5/2), It's All About You (3/1), Mindset (5/1), Denis Anthony (8/1), Hope You Can Run (8/1), Outrace (11/1)

The two that appeal most are WESTERTON and Wonder Legend. Marginal preference is for the former, who took a step forward when runner-up in a Nottingham maiden on his final start of 2022 (dual subsequent winner Like A Tiger back in third) and further progress is anticipated now faced with a stiffer test on this handicap debut. Wonder Legend has improved with each of his three starts on the all-weather and will be a big threat if taking to turf, while Denis Anthony is another likely improver.
