9/2

Had a bit up his sleeve to score second time up in a race lacking depth at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) in October but failed to last out over the 1m trip on return at Chelmsford last month. Tongue tie applied for handicap bow.

Form: 21-8

Awtaad Prince¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Stefano Cherchi| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 88

33/1

Off the mark in 6f Leicester novice in the mud in October. Not so good in 7f listed race at Saint-Cloud next time but ran as well as could be expected up against some promising rivals on return at Newmarket (7f, soft) last month. More needed now handicapping.

Form: 6515-7

Quantum Impact¹⁹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R M Beckett| OR: 86

11/8

Set the standard and opened his account with something in hand at Pontefract in September. Much improved when making a winning nursery debut at Newbury (6f, heavy) 5 weeks later and he looks the sort to go on progressing at 3. Considered on return.

12/1

Brazen Beau colt who confirmed debut promise when landing odds in good style at Windsor last August. However, he proved to be a disappointment when sent off favourite in a valuable sales race at Newmarket 3 weeks later so market check advised on handicap bow/return.

Havana Blue¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: C G Cox| OR: 83| BF

7/2

Sent off favourite and ran at least as well as previously on reappearance when length second of 17 to Harry Magnus on handicap debut at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) just over 2 weeks ago. Ought to be winning before long so not dismissed.

Form: 623-2

Novus¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 82| D

15/2

Built on the promise of her first 2 starts when winning 16-runner maiden at Newbury (6.5f, heavy) in October, benefiting from more of a test of stamina. Below the pick of her juvenile efforts on handicap debut at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) recently so others look stronger.

Form: 451-7

Zabbie¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 75| D

28/1

Made a winning nursery debut at Doncaster (7f) in August last year and, on her eighth start of the campaign, ran her best race yet when runner-up in similar event at Newmarket in September. Ran poorly on return last month so best watched.

Sharp Power³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: George Rooke| T: R Hughes| OR: 75| BF

12/1

Placed on all 3 career outings so far, runner-up in a Lingfield maiden (7f, AW, evens) just over 5 weeks ago. Opening mark looks workable so be interesting to see what the market makes of him.

Forecasts

Quantum Impact (11/8), Harry Magnus (11/4), Havana Blue (7/2), Physique (9/2), Novus (15/2), Sharp Power (12/1), Boy Browning (12/1), Berkshire Phantom (14/1), Magical Merlin (16/1), Zabbie (28/1), Awtaad Prince (33/1)

HARRY MAGNUS had a bit up his sleeve when making a winning handicap debut at Newmarket last month and, with Charlie Hills's colt sure to have more to offer, a 4 lb rise is unlikely to prevent the hat-trick. He gets the nod ahead of Quantum Impact, who is another arriving in search of a third win on the bounce but may have to settle for silver on reappearance. Havana Blue and Magical Merlin are another couple worth considering.
