10/3
Useful form when winning minor events at Windsor and Redcar in the summer but was below expectations when down the field on handicap debut at Newcastle on New Year's Day (race won by Blue Prince). In good hands and still rates as worth another chance.

Won a Bellewstown maiden last summer for Mrs J. Harrington before coming up short in pattern company. Last of 10 (place behind Blue Prince) in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 34 days ago and others are preferred, for all it's still early days with a shrewd yard.

Progressed well since joining this yard, landing a Southwell nursery in December before following up in 10-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f) 34 days ago. Plenty to like about that effort and he's the one to beat bidding for the hat-trick.

Cashed in on drop in class at Nottingham in October and wasn't disgraced when 6¾ lengths fifth of 9 to Purosangue in listed race at York (6f, soft) 3 days later. Not of the scopiest of sorts, so remains to be seen how well he trains on making handicap debut.

9/4
Didn't need to improve to get off the mark at the third time of asking in 8-runner minor event at Southwell (6.1f) last month and backed that up with a good second of 7 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 9/2) 15 days ago. Should go well again.

Forecasts

Blue Prince (6/4), Roman Emperor (9/4), Brave Empire (10/3), World Of Darcy (8/1), G'day Mate (18/1)

Verdict

BLUE PRINCE had 2 of today's rivals behind when scoring at Newcastle on New Year's Day and looks up to completing a hat-trick from a 4 lb higher mark. Brave Empire was beaten at short odds in the contest but was returning from a 6-month absence and remains of interest from a mark in the mid-90s, whilst Roman Emperor built on his novice win with a sound effort in a C&D handicap last time and also merits respect.
