Charles Morin¹⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: P Phelan

125/1

Churchill gelding. Closely related to Tangelo (won at 1½m sole start). Fair form on first of 2 starts in France, below that level when eighth of 10 in minor event at Lyon Parilly (9.9f, heavy) in November. Joined new yard for 16,000 gns and the market should guide.

Form: 88-

Nazionale

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Spencer| T: R Hannon

10/1

50,000 gns foal, €90,000 yearling, Ten Sovereigns colt. Half-brother to very smart 9f-10.5f winner Via Sistina. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart winner up to 6f Kingsgate Native. Appeals on paper and interesting what the market makes of him on debut.

Form:

Ricardo Phillips⁶⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Nicola Currie| T: H Candy

80/1

Once-raced maiden. 50/1, seventh of 10 in maiden at this C&D on debut 65 days ago. Looks one for the longer term.

Form: 7

(12)

Show Me A Hero¹⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: M L W Bell

13/2

Twice-raced maiden. Improved on debut form when fourth of 8 in minor event at Chelmsford (7f) in November, keeping on without being knocked about. Gelded subsequently and no surprise to see him capable of better still.

Form: 04-

(13)

So Quiet²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: T E Whelan| T: Harry Charlton

6/4

Zoustar gelding who shaped promisingly when fourth of 12 in minor event at this C&D on debut 25 days ago, caught further back than ideal. That race has substance and with improvement expected he's of definite interest despite a less-than-ideal draw.

Form: 4

(1)

Spartan Warrior¹⁰⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Davies| T: Ollie Sangster

33/1

Twice-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in minor event at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in December, running green straight and one paced. Gelded since but handicaps promise to be more his thing this term.

Form: 80-

(10)

Time To Roll⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore

200/1

Time Test gelding. Looked badly in need of the experience when seventh of 9 in maiden at this course (1m) on debut 53 days ago, off bridle long way out. This should reveal more.

Form: 7

(7)

Tribal Chief^t²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Kyle Strydom| T: D Menuisier

50/1

Once-raced maiden. Tongue strap on, eighth of 12 in minor event at this C&D (28/1) on debut 25 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals.

Form: 8

(4)

Cuban Melody

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding

9/2

155,000 gns yearling, Havana Grey filly. Dam unreliable winner up to 7f (2-y-o 6f winner). Likely type for very good stable.

Form:

(8)

Garden View¹⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: George Bass⁽³⁾| T: M D I Usher

200/1

Twice-raced maiden. 8/1, went backwards from her debut when seventh of 9 in maiden at Southwell (7.1f) in October. Changed hands for 6,000 gns later that month and she's another likely to be better served by handicaps in due course.

Form: 77-

(11)

Golden Myrrh²⁹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M BeckettWS

11/4

200,000 gns yearling, Frankel filly. In need of the experience but was definitely getting the hang of things late on when fifth of 10 in maiden (13/2) at Newbury (6.5f, firm) on debut back in June. Absent/undergone wind surgery since and highly likely there's more to come.

Form: 5-

(6)

Loose Tongue¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: N Callan| T: P D Evans

125/1

Once-raced maiden. 50/1 and hooded, fifth of 8 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) on debut 18 days ago, slowly into stride and never a threat. One for later on.

Form: 5

(5)

Midnight Drive⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: C G Cox

25/1

Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 50/1) 58 days ago, hanging left over 1f out and weakening. In good hands and handicaps entitled to be more her bag.

Form: 6-5

Non-Runners

Twisted Tiara

Weight: 9-2| Age: 3

T: B R Millman J: Non Runner

Forecasts

So Quiet (6/4), Golden Myrrh (11/4), Cuban Melody (9/2), Show Me A Hero (13/2), Nazionale (10/1), Midnight Drive (25/1), Spartan Warrior (33/1), Twisted Tiara (33/1), Tribal Chief (50/1), Ricardo Phillips (80/1), Loose Tongue (125/1), Charles Morin (125/1), Time To Roll (200/1), Garden View (200/1)

SO QUIET has a tricky draw to contend with but he shaped with definite promise when fourth on debut in a C&D novice that looks solid form and with progress anticipated, he gets the nod to build on that. Golden Myrrh looks another sure-fire improver following her encouraging Newbury run last June and is respected on return. Cuban Melody and Nazionale are a couple of interesting newcomers to monitor.
