Half-brother to 3 winners on level, including 9.6f winner Fil The Power and 1¼m winner Engrave, dam 1½m-15f winner. Posted fairly useful form in bumpers in late-2021, winning junior event at Doncaster. Not seen for 19 months but worth monitoring in market on return/Flat debut.

Finished runner-up in claimer (10f) on sole start in Ireland but beaten a long way on debut for this yard in 3-runner maiden at Catterick (12.1f, good) 11 days ago. Tries much shorter trip now.

Twice-raced gelding. Likely needed outing, back from 8 months off, when seventh of 9 in minor event at Newmarket (10f, good to firm) 37 days ago. However, will likely be seen in better light when qualified for handicaps.

€9,000 foal, £88,000 yearling, New Bay gelding. Closely related to smart 1m-1¼m winner Whisper Not and half-brother to 3 winners, including smart winner up to 1m Whoputfiftyinyou and 5f winner Jess. Worth a second look in the market on debut.

Twice-raced gelding. Just ran to a modest level when eighth of 11 in minor event at Leicester (10f, good) on yard debut 10 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Promising type who posted fair form when second of 11 in minor event at Redcar (7f, heavy) on debut in November. Should have more to offer this year.

Lightly-raced filly who got back on track when second of 10 in minor event at Newmarket (8f, good) 30 days ago. Looks the one to beat on that form.

Forecasts

Fleurir (8/13), Retraction (2/1), Monty Be Quick (9/1), Leitrim Rock (18/1), Le Fils De Force (20/1), Child Of Lir (22/1), Spring Chorus (50/1), Morning Darling (66/1), Nelson Bay (80/1)

Verdict

FLEURIR matched her best form when runner-up at Newmarket last month and looks to have been found a good opportunity to open her account here. Retraction showed ability on his sole start last year and looks the obvious danger, whilst market support for bumper winner Le Fils de Force could prove significant.
