4/7

Much improved from debut when making all in 8-runner maiden at Nottingham (6.1f, good to firm, 13/2). Off 12 months (gelded) ahead of first run for yard after leaving Harry & Roger Charlton. The one to beat on his return.

Form: 31-

Another Thought²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: George Downing| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 75| CD

11/8

Switched to all-weather, off the mark at the second attempt in 3-runner minor event at this C&D 23 days ago, quickening up well. Can be thereabouts once again.

Form: 31

Pearl Beauty¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Aidan Keeley⁽⁵⁾| T: J Tizzard

125/1

Has offered little in a pair of bumpers, eighth of 9 at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good to soft, 100/1) 15 days ago. Looks to be up against it making his Flat debut.

Centre Back⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Charlie Bennett| T: S Kirk

50/1

Finished well held when tenth of 13 in maiden at Kempton (7f, 150/1) on debut 43 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 0

Miss Requinto

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: P R Chamings

28/1

Requinto filly. Sister to useful 5f-7f winner Spanish Star and half-sister to 5f/6f winner Itinere. Dam unraced. Likely to need more time.

Passion Tango¹¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: Rae Guest

28/1

Little impact in maidens both starts so far, ninth of 10 at Southwell (5f, 40/1) in February. Major improvement required as she goes back up in trip.

Forecasts

Garner (4/7), Another Thought (11/8), Port Meadow (11/2), Passion Tango (28/1), Miss Requinto (28/1), Centre Back (50/1), Pearl Beauty (125/1)

GARNER made a good start for Harry & Roger Charlton last year, much sharper than on debut when winning at Nottingham when last seen, and he can pick up where he left off to make a winning seasonal/stable debut. Another Thought can be the one to give the selection most to think about.
