10/3
Cracksman colt who was well backed after 9 weeks off and duly built on debut promise when off the mark with plenty in hand in 5-runner maiden at Newcastle (8f) 23 days ago. Handy draw to operate from and shortlisted with further progress on the cards.

Stayed on well to make a winning debut at Southwell (1m) in November and took a marked step forward despite meeting defeat when second of 13 in novice at this C&D (6/4) 70 days ago, battling well and nicely clear of the remainder. Big shout in refitted hood.

Thrice-raced maiden. Shaped with definite promise when sixth of 12 in maiden at Kempton (8f, 25/1) 15 days ago, not knocked about. Rates the type to do better still, including in handicaps.

Showcasing filly. Closely related to 5f/6f winner Chicago School. 33/1, shaped as if needing the experience when eighth in 13-runner Thirsk novice (6f) on debut back in June. Up significantly in trip for return and this should reveal more.

Forecasts

Port Light (1/4), Crack On Boys (10/3), Daddy Chill (11/1), Final Night (18/1), Sibling Rivelry (22/1), Eleonora Gonzaga (50/1), Yes Honey (66/1), Belle Amie (66/1), Grande Armee (80/1), Bigfield Dreams (80/1), Surprise Again (125/1), Argentum (200/1), Make A Note (200/1)

Verdict

This looks to concern penalised pair PORT LIGHT and Crack On Boys, with narrow preference in favour of the former in a refitted hood. That said, the latter was impressive when scoring at Newcastle 23 days ago and strong confidence behind him would put a different slant on things. Final Night and Yes Honey appeal best of the others, particularly with a view to going into handicaps.
