7/1

Took form to a whole new level when winning 7-runner handicap at Haydock (6f, good to firm) 39 days ago, albeit helped by being held up in strongly-run race. 2 lb rise perfectly fair.

Form: 6-33171

Demi Pointe³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 87| D

7/1

AW maiden winner in December. 10/1 and hooded for first time, 15½ lengths ninth of 11 to Believing in listed race at Pontefract (6f, good) 30 days ago. Makes handicap debut for top yard but mark asks more plenty more.

Form: 61-9

6/1

Blinkered for first time, career best when winning 10-runner handicap (13/2) at Chelmsford City (6f) 17 days ago, kept up to work. 9 lb higher mark may well be within reach given unexposed profile.

Form: 5-33331

Form: 5-21471

Forecasts

Katey Kontent (4/1), Catwalk Model (6/1), Musical Tribute (6/1), Premiere Beauty (13/2), Demi Pointe (7/1), Noor Bano (7/1), Cuban Breeze (9/1), Miss Mai Tai (10/1), Miss Bella Brand (11/1), Alcazan (40/1)

MUSICAL TRIBUTE looked transformed by blinkers and the return to 6f when a decisive winner on the AW 17 days ago and, given the manner of that success, her revised mark may well be within her compass. Noor Band also arrives on the back of a personal best, with the thriving Miss Mai Tai completing the shortlist.
