Concert Boy¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Ben Robinson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 70

5/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Gelded, possibly needed the run on back of 6 months off when seventh of 12 in handicap (13/2) at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) 19 days ago, weakening inside final 1f. May well be sharper here and worth noting if strong in the betting.

Form: 344-7

Sidney's Son²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Faye McManoman| T: N Tinkler| OR: 70

4/1

Showed little both starts at 2 yrs but much more like it back from 5 months off when second in 5-runner novice over 1m here 25 days ago, making his effort 2f out and running on. Distinctly possible there's further improvement in the offing now handicapping.

Form: 89-2

Banquo²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: G Lee| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 69| BF

9/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 13/8, first run since leaving K. R. Burke when third of 7 in maiden at Southwell (6.1f) 24 days ago. Will hold more chance now handicapping.

Form: 24-3

Slippin Jimmy¹⁷⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 68| CD

15/8

Confirmed previous promise and looked well served by step up in trip when opening his account over C&D in October. Proved disappointing back here the following month but gelded subsequently and distinctly possible he can get back on track.

Shot Of Love⁸⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 68

8/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 5/2, ran below best when last of 5 in a C&D handicap in February. Remains early days with him at least and the assessor is steadily relinquishing his grip if a short break has positive effect now.

Form: 60-3555

Original Thinker²¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: H Bethell| OR: 67

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, ninth of 11 in nursery at Windsor (6f, good to firm). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving John & Thady Gosden. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 7739-

Brocklesby^p1¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Phil Dennis| T: M Dods| OR: 67

40/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 100/1, last of 15 in maiden at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 10 days ago, weakening 2f out. Needs to step up plenty to figure on handicap debut. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Form: 590

Roaring Ralph^p1²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 61

9/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 11/2, last of 8 in handicap at Redcar (8f, heavy) 28 days ago, weakening over 1f out having not been ideally placed. Remains with potential moving forward in handicaps. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Forecasts

Slippin Jimmy (15/8), Sidney's Son (4/1), Roaring Ralph (9/2), Concert Boy (5/1), My Honey B (6/1), Shot Of Love (8/1), Banquo (9/1), Original Thinker (33/1), Brocklesby (40/1)

SIDNEY'S SON showed much more than previously when runner-up in a 1m novice here 25 days ago and, with potential for better still now handicapping, he gets the narrow vote to come out on top. This does look competitive though, with Slippin Jimmy and My Honey B heading up the dangers. Roaring Ralph is also worth keeping an eye on with his reappearance under his belt.
