11/10

Lope de Vega gelding who continued theme of race-by-race progress when winning 5-runner nursery at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 7/4) 23 days ago, keeping on well. Step up to 1m expected to hold no fears and of interest again with prospect of more to come.

2/1

Better with each run last year, off the mark at third attempt in 13-runner C&D novice 4 weeks ago. Another who appeals as the type to do better again, including when tackling longer trips.

Hippocratic Oath¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Levey| T: B J Meehan| OR: 74| D

11/4

Different proposition since handicapping, making it 3 wins from last 4 starts when taking 5-runner nursery (4/7) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 19 days ago, always holding on. 3 lb rise for that success should see him competitive again.

Northwest Passage²¹

66/1

Ulysses colt who showed plenty to work on when third in a Brighton novice (1m, heavy) in October. Not kicked on in 2 subsequent outings over longer trips but switch to handicaps in his favour now if he can bounce back.

BECCALI continued his theme of race-by-race progress when opening his account on nursery debut at Wolverhampton (7f) 23 days ago and with this further step up in trip expected to hold no fears, he looks a big player in his follow-up bid. Fellow last-time-out winner Hippocratic Oath, who is 3 from 4 in handicaps, rates the chief danger.
