Course winner. Bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap (9/1) at Goodwood (11.2f, good to firm). Has a better record on all-weather but looks best watched after 148 days off.

Fair form in trio of maidens on Flat in France and shaped better than bare result in pair of juvenile hurdles for present yard this winter. Off mark in 8-runner minor event at this course (11f) on UK flat debut 21 days ago. Interesting handicap debutant.

Seven wins from 26 Flat runs. Three wins from 9 runs last year, including on most recent Flat outing at Wolverhampton in April. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, good to soft, 5/2) 48 days ago, running on. Frame claims.

Lightly-raced winner. One win from 3 runs last year. 13/2, shaped as if needing the run after 10-month absence when 13¼ lengths eighth of 13 to Ocean Heights in handicap at this C&D 42 days ago. Mark still looks on the high side.

Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 6/1) 11 days ago, suited by strong gallop to edge ahead line. Bit more needed from 3 lb higher mark.

Forecasts

Orange N Blue (3/1), God Of Thunder (4/1), Ocean Heights (9/2), Raintown (6/1), Running The Game (15/2), Polar Princess (10/1), Johnny Boom (11/1), Party Island (22/1), Sax Appeal (25/1)

Verdict

Several hold sound claims in this competitive handicap, with bottom-weight POLAR PRINCESS making most appeal. Philip Kirby's filly has shaped well to make the placings on each of her last 3 outings and looked better than ever when a clear second at Southwell last week, so is fancied to go one better this time. Ocean Heights scored over C&D last month and followed that with another good effort here, so he's also considered alongside Orange N Blue and God of Thunder.
