2/1

Promising individual. Second of 15 in minor event (4/1) at Newmarket (8f, good) 15 days ago, running on. Makes handicap debut and looks to have been let in lightly, so he's the one to beat.

Form: 342

7/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Blinkered for 1st time, creditable second of 7 in nursery at Kempton (8f, 4/1), needing stronger gallop. Off 6 months. Should be involved if ready for this return.

18/1

66/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 13 days ago, finding extra. Seen to good effect last time and isn't an obvious one to follow up.

Usuario Amigo (2/1), Arisaig (10/3), Piz Nair (7/2), New Chelsea (7/1), Twirler (11/1), The Bitter Moose (12/1), Mai Dubai (12/1), Ziggy's Phoenix (18/1)

USUARIO AMIGO improved and shaped well when second in a good novice at Newmarket recently and there's more to come, so he's fancied to prove himself better than an opening mark of 87. Twirler looks a big threat if she goes on turf and Piz Nair should give his running again.
