16/1
Lightly-raced maiden who is not long with this yard and not disgraced when fourth of 8 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 20 days ago, left with lot to do. Return to 1m looks likely to suit.

Much improved on back of being gelded/fitted with a hood when opening his account at Kempton (7f) in January. Similar form when second of 8 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 20 days ago, no match for winner. Should be in the thick of things again.

Lightly-raced maiden. 7/2, fourth of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 40 days ago, pushed along 3f out and left behind gradually. Return to this trip may help now.

11/2
Fair maiden who ran respectably on the back of 4 months off when seventh of 11 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 11 days ago, coming from further back than ideal. No surprise to see a good showing from 1 lb lower mark.

16/1
Lightly-raced maiden. Again found only one too good in 9-runner maiden (6/4) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 25 days ago, keeping on well and edged out close home. Shapes like she'll stay further still and not discounted on handicap bow.

15/8
Thrice-raced maiden. 15/2, ran below pick of form when tenth of 12 in novice event at Lingfield (7f, AW) in October. However, gelded since last seen and returns with yard amongst the winners so well worthy of note if market vibes are positive.

4/1
Much-improved for switch to handicaps/equipped with a visor when runner-up to another unexposed sort (pair clear) at Lingfield (1m) last month. Shade underwhelming when fifth at Kempton since but worth another chance to confirm previous promise. Blinkers go on.

Decorated Knight gelding who finished midfield in trio of novice/maiden contests at upto 7f last summer. Needs to find some progress now handicapping on the back of 6 months off.

Forecasts

Papagei (15/8), Superb Force (4/1), Havanarama (4/1), Squeaker (11/2), Khamsin (13/2), Mariner (16/1), Mon Etoile (16/1), Infinite Honour (40/1)

Verdict

SUPERB FORCE was a shade disappointing at Kempton 11 days ago given the promise he'd showed when just touched off by a next-time-out winner at Lingfield on his penultimate start but he's probably worth another chance on balance and earns the vote with blinkers replacing the visor. Havanarama and Mon Etoile both arrive in good order are and feared, whilst market confidence behind the returning Papagei would need to be viewed positively now handicapping/having been gelded.

  1. Superb Force4/1
  2. Havanarama4/1
  3. Mon Etoile16/1
