Midnight Drive²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: J P Fahy| T: C G Cox| OR: 62

7/1

Took a step forward on her third start when fourth of 13 in minor event (25/1) at this course (7f) 3 weeks ago. Open to further improvement with this longer trip likely to suit on her handicap bow.

Form: 6-54

Eccentric^p1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J A Osborne| OR: 62| D

6/1

Had shown improved form on his penultimate start and built on that effort to get off the mark in 9-runner handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 4/1) 17 days ago. Merits consideration with cheekpieces now added.

Form: 223621

Baroque Buoy²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Darragh Keenan| T: George Scott| OR: 62

5/1

Hasn't made much impact in a trio of starts so far, last of 7 in minor event (150/1) at this course (6f) 3 weeks ago. Has something to find as he goes up in distance for his handicap debut.

Form: 677

Simple Endeavour¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: K Stott| T: A M Balding| OR: 60

15/2

After 6 months off, not seen to best effect when fifth of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 10/3) 13 days ago, left poorly placed. Remains with potential making only her second start in a handicap.

Form: 657-5

(10)

Mleiha¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 60

33/1

Has looked in need of the experience on her first 3 outings, well-beaten fifth of 10 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, AW, 80/1) 12 days ago. Yard has been going well with their handicap newcomers.

Form: 695

Teddy Brown^b1⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Marco Ghiani| T: M Botti| OR: 57

15/2

Never a threat in his 3 qualifying runs, third of 4 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 22/1) 54 days ago (gelded since). Blinkers now the choice of headgear as he makes his first start in a handicap.

Form: 6-53

(6)

Bitcoin Profit¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Grace McEntee⁽³⁾| T: M Young| OR: 56

22/1

Confirmed the promise of his stable debut when opening his account in 8-runner handicap (4/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 15 days ago. Remains unexposed at this trip and he's a major player.

Form: 36-2521

(9)

Newfangled²¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: T E Whelan| T: J G Portman| OR: 56

25/1

Fared no better switched to a nursery when last of 11 at this course (7f, 17/2) in September. Has been gelded ahead of his return from 7 months off.

11/4

Showed more than previously when sixth of 9 in nursery (11/2) at Chelmsford City (8f) in November, never nearer. Needs to find more again on his reappearance.

Form: 8076-

(5)

Charles Morin²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Paddy Bradley| T: P Phelan| OR: 55

16/1

After 5 months off, never involved on first run since leaving H-F. Devin when ninth of 13 in minor event at this course (7f, 125/1) 3 weeks ago. Return to this longer trip should suit, but has work to do sent handicapping.

Form: 88-9

(4)

Dire Wolf^t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: R Havlin| T: A West| OR: 52

18/1

Gained her first success at Lingfield in January. However, below that level on her last 2 starts, running no sort of race when last of 4 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 33/1) 13 days ago.

Beach Point (11/4), Baroque Buoy (5/1), Eccentric (6/1), Midnight Drive (7/1), Teddy Brown (15/2), Simple Endeavour (15/2), Theworldsnotenough (12/1), Charles Morin (16/1), Dire Wolf (18/1), Bitcoin Profit (22/1), Newfangled (25/1), Mleiha (33/1)

Upped in trip, BITCOIN PROFIT showed improved form on his second start for his current yard when winning at Wolverhampton 15 days ago and he can score again now that he's up and running. He is taken to get the better of Eccentric, who also recorded a first victory on his latest outing, with Simple Endeavour completing the shortlist.
