Himawari²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: M Botti| OR: 65

7/2

Thrice-raced maiden. 11/4, fourth of 8 in maiden at Newcastle (6f) 21 days ago, slowly away. Opening mark looks on stiff side but she could well step forward.

Form: 92-4

(6)

Salaamaat²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Rae Guest| OR: 60

22/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Encouraging fourth at Lingfield on yard debut in November and wasn't seen to best effect when last of 7 in minor event at Lingfield (6f, AW) 23 days ago, forced very wide. More needed on handicap debut, however.

Form: 954-7

Edergole's Gift⁷⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jack Gilligan| T: C Allen| OR: 59

16/1

Eighth of 11 in nursery (66/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 74 days ago. Hard to fancy after a break.

Fiddler's Elbow^b1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: P D Evans| OR: 58| BF

2/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 15/8, excellent second of 9 in handicap at this C&D 16 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Respected.

Form: 544-2

Zachary^p¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: C Johnston| OR: 58| D

13/8

Latest win at Chelmsford City in November. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 8 in handicap (16/1) at Chelmsford City (5f) 17 days ago. Edging back down the weights but others are more persuasive on recent efforts.

Form: 4150-48

(3)

Moe's Legacy¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Harris| OR: 54

12/1

Respectable fourth of 10 at Wolverhampton (6.1f) on first start of the year but reared and lost all chance at the start at this C&D 16 days ago. Frame claims if proving more straightforward this time.

Form: 4470-49

Forecasts

Zachary (13/8), Fiddler's Elbow (2/1), Himawari (7/2), Nevzilla (9/2), Berrygate (7/1), Moe's Legacy (12/1), Edergole's Gift (16/1), Salaamaat (22/1)

FIDDLER'S ELBOW was well backed and much improved when second over C&D a fortnight ago and looks the way to go off the same mark now fitted with blinkers. Nevzilla is feared most ahead of Moe's Legacy.
