Curran¹⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 86| D

14/1

Doubled his tally despite going for home sooner than ideal in novice company at Pontefract in October. Too free to do himself justice in a nursery a fortnight later but gelded ahead of reappearance and he's in the right hands.

Form: 4116-

Timeless Charm¹²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: David Egan| T: G Boughey| OR: 86| BF

5/1

Perfect start to her career when landing a 12-runner novice at Kempton in November. Green when failing to land the odds at Wolverhampton 16 days later but type to make a better 3-y-o. Interesting on turf/handicap debut.

Form: 12-

Prepschool¹⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: H Crouch| T: M L W Bell| OR: 83| BF

3/1

Made all in 9-runner Ripon novice on third start (1m) in August and shaped well (denied a clear run) when second to Curran at Pontefract. Like that rival, he was a shade disappointing switched to a nursery at Newmarket final 2-y-o start. Gelded since.

Form: 62124-

Bust A Move¹⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Billy Garritty| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 80

7/2

Improved with each start last year, relishing step up to 9f when an easy winner of a 6-runner nursery at Newmarket in November. Revised mark looks well with range if he returns in that shape.

Form: 56431-

Spanish Poet¹⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 78

13/2

Made a winning start at Sandown in August but went the wrong way in 3 subsequent 2-y-o starts at up to 10.2f. Should stay this far and gelded ahead of this reappearance for excellent yard.

Form: 1657-

Caelan⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M Botti| OR: 78

17/2

Winner on debut at Kempton in August and returned to the AW, he doubled his tally back from 5 months off (well backed) at Wolverhampton last month. Fit and in form so a danger to all if he's as effective on turf.

Form: 145-1

Mach Ten⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 76

9/1

Raced just once for Andrew Balding and unable to advance his form for Karl Burke, albeit finding just one too good at Southwell in January. Gelded in the interim and stamina is assured back on turf.

Form: 45-2

King Of Spain³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Rowan Scott| T: G Tutty| OR: 73

10/1

Well ridden to land 6-runner novice at Wolverhampton on third start last month. Bare form isn't anything to get carried away with so opening mark calls for more switches to turf upped slightly in distance.

Form: 431

Forecasts

Prepschool (3/1), Bust A Move (7/2), Timeless Charm (5/1), Spanish Poet (13/2), Caelan (17/2), Mach Ten (9/1), King Of Spain (10/1), Curran (14/1)

BUST A MOVE continued his theme of race-by-race progress when signing off his 2-y-o campaign in the perfect fashion at Newmarket in the autumn, and with his revised mark more than fair, it's worth chancing his fitness. Timeless Charm is the type to make up into a better 3-y-o so he's on the shortlist, with Caelan also dangerous given he's fit and in form.
