Khal⁶⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 66

4/1

Fair form on 2 of his 3 starts in novice events at around 1m but struggled to make an impact (having been gelded) when failing to beat a rival on each of his 2 starts in AW handicaps earlier this year. Needs to get back on track returned to turf.

Form: 873-44

Barossa¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 63

18/1

Awtaad filly. Showed more than previously on qualifying run when third in 7-runner Redcar novice (9f, soft) on final start in October. Easy to back and never figured on return/handicap debut at that venue (10f, heavy) 2 weeks ago but entitled to be sharper here.

Form: 773-8

King Harry²⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S H James| T: G Tutty| OR: 62

5/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 11 in minor novice event at Thirsk (7f) in August, fading final 1f. However, does now get a crack at handicaps and progress distinctly possible tackling this longer trip. One to monitor closely in the market.

Form: 867-

Greek Siren¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 60

9/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at this course (7.4f, good to soft, 25/1) 12 days ago. Significant step up in trip needs to unlock some improvement now but this is possible.

Form: 54-40

Blue Yonder²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 57

15/8

8/1, very good third of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 22 days ago, not ideally placed. Up in trip. Looks competitive on form.

Form: 537-873

Azaim⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 53

14/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, sixth of 9 in minor event at Thirsk (8f, heavy) 9 days ago, headed over 2f out and dropping away. Must step up if he's to feature making handicap debut.

Form: 066

(7)

Angel De Luz¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 45

9/2

Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving George Boughey when fourth of 10 in handicap at Wetherby (8f, good to soft, 7/2) 1 day ago, still green. Up in trip. May well do better.

Form: 099-4

Forecasts

Blue Yonder (15/8), Coloane (2/1), Khal (4/1), Angel De Luz (9/2), King Harry (5/1), Greek Siren (9/1), Anieres Girl (12/1), Azaim (14/1), Barossa (18/1)

ANIERES GIRL shaped much better than the distance beaten suggests on her respective return at Nottingham 3 weeks ago and, having ran her best race at this venue on her final start as a juvenile last term, she could be worth chancing to take a step forward with this trip expected to suit. Blue Yonder rates a big threat following his recent Southwell third, with King Harry also worth monitoring on return/handicap debut.
