Right back to form when fifth of 6 in handicap (11/1) at Kempton (11f) 13 days ago, though he did enjoy the run of the race. Eased 3 lb back on turf.

Night Safari³²

9/1

Settled better and produced a career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 32 days ago. Merits serious consideration back on turf.

Form: 4444-51

Cambria Legend²²

Form: 67-5

12/1

Fifth of 10 in maiden at Kempton (8f, 125/1) 20 days ago, not knocked about. Step up in trip will suit on handicap debut so he's a very likely improver.

Form: 9-65

40/1

Sixth of 9 in maiden at Southwell (8.1f, 10/1). Off 91 days. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut and opening mark demands more.

Form: 6-86

(8)

Lucentio^t1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 67

6/1

Sixth of 9 in novice event at Lingfield (8f, AW, 9/2) 15 days ago. Bred to stay this far and he's a definite threat on his debut form now handicapping for leading yard.

Form: 49-6

Forecasts

Show Me A Hero (9/2), Torrent (5/1), Daymer Bay (11/2), Lucentio (6/1), Prometeo (7/1), Cambria Legend (15/2), Night Safari (9/1), Spanish Vega (12/1), Between Me And U (20/1), Lord Normandy (20/1), Valadero (22/1), Albert Lasker (40/1)

This looks open but LUCENTIO has been handed a workable opening mark based on the level he achieved on debut and is certainly in the right hands to bounce back tackling a new trip. He gets the nod in favour of Night Safari, with Spanish Vega a potential big improver now handicapping.
