Made it 2 from 2 over this C&D in 5-runner handicap 3 weeks ago, responding well to this headgear and looking better than ever. Likely to go well again.

Harlem Nights⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: James Horton| OR: 73

15/2

Stepped up on his juvenile form when making a successful reappearance in 7f Wolverhampton handicap in April and quickly back to form when runner-up at Newmarket (1m), finishing strongly. Remains unexposed at 1m so needs considering.

Form: 573-172

Back-to-back winner of novice events at up to 1m last summer. Back to form in this headgear last 2 starts, 1¼ lengths third of 5 to Pearl Eye in handicap (4/1) at this course (8f, soft) 21 days ago, running on. 4 lb better off with the winner here.

Leadenhall⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 72| BF

5/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 4/1, good third of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to firm) 43 days ago but showed why connections have fitted blinkers so early in his career, wandered/carried head bit awkwardly final 1f, kept on again final 100 yds. No headgear this time.

Form: 54-363

(6)

Greycious Anna^p⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 70

28/1

Responded well to this headgear when close fifth at Newcastle 9 days ago though faces a different test here stepping up in trip.

Form: 140-935

No Barrier^b⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jim Crowley| T: K A Ryan| OR: 69

17/2

Found only one too good for the second start in succession in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy, 3/1) 9 days ago. Can make his presence felt again.

Form: 583422

Impulsive Reaction^b1²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Jason Hart| T: T D Easterby| OR: 64

33/1

A winner of a Musselburgh maiden on his second run last year but mostly disappointed in handicaps since, below-form seventh of 12 in handicap at York (7.9f, good, 7/1) 29 days ago. Headgear now given a whirl.

Form: 9-69537

Forecasts

Leadenhall (5/2), Senesi (7/2), Pearl Eye (4/1), Harlem Nights (15/2), No Barrier (17/2), Get Stuck In (11/1), Pol Roger (12/1), Greycious Anna (28/1), Impulsive Reaction (33/1)

HARLEM NIGHTS wasted no time getting back to form when second at Newmarket and remains of plenty of interest at a trip he's unexposed at. The lightly-raced Get Stuck In is another potential improver back from a break, while Pol Roger and Pearl Eye are closely matched on their form here 3 weeks ago.
