Marbush⁵¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-11| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 84

5/2

Progressed again after 8 weeks off when won 9-runner novice at Kempton (8f, 5/2) 51 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Upped in trip. From a good family and will go on improving, so he's high on the shortlist under a penalty.

Chambers⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J F Egan| T: D J S Ffrench Davis

7/2

Offered something to work on when fourth of 12 in novice at this course (8f, soft, 66/1) on debut 9 days ago. Bred to need time and distance, he should have more to offer.

Form: 4

King Kernow²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: J S Moore

5/1

25/1, showed a lot more than first time up when 2 lengths second of 10 to Super Mirage in maiden at this course (8f, good) 26 days ago, albeit no match for winner (said to have lost a shoe). Up in trip.

Form: 72

Tap Dancer²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: K Shoemark| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 70

11/4

Ran respectably under a change of tactics when third of 10 in maiden (4/1) at this course (8f, good) 26 days ago. Upped in trip and that could eke out some further progress.

Forecasts

Marbush (5/2), Tap Dancer (11/4), Chambers (7/2), Far From Dandy (7/2), Super Mirage (4/1), King Kernow (5/1), Hi Ya Mal (6/1), Spuddling (100/1)

Several of these are open to improvement now stepping up in trip and the 3 previous winners look the ones to focus on, MARBUSH selected to take another step forward and take her record to 2-4. Second choice is Far From Dandy, who had clearly learnt plenty from his debut when getting off the mark in good style at Yarmouth 3 weeks ago. Course winner Super Mirage can edge out sole filly Tap Dancer for minor honours.
