Profit Street²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 66

7/2

Showed much-improved form to make a winning nursery debut at Newcastle (5f) in November and progressed again after 6 months off when just failing back at that venue (6f) last month. Again ran creditably at Bath recently and should be in the mix.

Form: 4501-24

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: O McSweeney⁽³⁾| T: K A Ryan| OR: 65

Better¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 63| D

10/1

Winner at Wolverhampton in December. Made the frame but showed barely modest form in doing so when fourth of 8 in handicap at Ripon (6f, soft, 14/1) 17 days ago. Down in grade and he can make his presence felt for an in-form yard.

Form: 51-4754

Soul Singer⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 60

15/2

Ran better than last time without returning to form when fifth of 10 in handicap (22/1) at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Has to be taken seriously back down to a career-low mark.

Form: 952205

Kurimu⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S De Sousa| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 59| BF

7/2

Ran well despite not looking entirely at ease on the track when second of 7 in handicap (well-backed 2/1) at Brighton (6f, good) 9 days ago. Can build on that.

Form: 09-5242

Forecasts

Borderline Boss (9/4), Kurimu (7/2), Profit Street (7/2), Soul Singer (15/2), Better (10/1), Socialise (12/1), Stars Away (12/1), Vanity Pays (14/1), Badosa (14/1), Dollarindex (22/1), Crooked Crown (50/1), Allegro Brillante (50/1)

A open-looking sprint in which preference is for SOUL SINGER, who took a step back in the direction when fifth at Thirsk last week and Tim Easterby's charge can open his account back down at a career-low mark. Profit Street has upped his game since being switched to handicaps, so he can give the selection most to think about, with Better and Kurimu another couple fancied to be involved.
