Off time: 16:56 | Winning time: 1m 11.05s

Blue Rc^h1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: C Lee| T: J Tate

6/1

Blue Point colt. Half-brother to 5f/6f winner Invincible Speed. Dam unraced. Makes plenty of appeal on paper for an in-form yard. Wears hood.

Dream Out Loud¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: A M Balding

8/1

Improved on debut form to finish second once again in 6-runner maiden (5/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 13 days ago. Remains with potential and shouldn't be long in going one better.

Form: 22

I Maximus¹⁸⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rob Hornby| T: R Hughes| OR: 81| BF

4/7

11/8, looked the pick on form but disappointed when seventh of 13 in maiden at Newbury (6f, good to soft) 6 months ago, possibly unsuited by softer ground. In the mix if ready to roll (has been gelded in the interim).

Form: 327-

Juba²⁰³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Tommie Jakes⁽⁵⁾| T: B J Meehan

5/1

40/1, showed quite a bit more than on debut 3 months earlier when sixth of 9 in maiden at Newbury (6f, soft) when last seen in September. Needs to build on that on all-weather debut/return.

Form: 96-

Sir Kenny¹⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁵⁾| T: Dylan CunhaWS

125/1

100/1, made an unpromising start to career when tailed-off last of 12 in novice at Bath (8f, soft) on debut 6 months ago. Down in trip and looks one for low-grade handicaps down the line (has had a wind op).

Form: 0-

Special Acclaim

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: George Bass⁽³⁾| T: J Channon

20/1

32,000 gns yearling, Acclamation gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart winner up to 1¼m Special Kaldoun. Market check advised.

Form:

(2)

Cooramook¹⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Hayley Turner| T: Harry Eustace

18/1

Shaped much better than first time up when fifth of 9 in novice at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 10/1) 6 months ago. Could be an interesting handicapper after this outing.

Form: 55-

Desert Beauty

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Ray Dawson| T: Dylan Cunha

50/1

Oasis Dream filly. Dam unraced. Check betting. Yard also saddles Sir Kenny.

Forecasts

I Maximus (4/7), Juba (5/1), Blue Rc (6/1), Dream Out Loud (8/1), Cooramook (18/1), Special Acclaim (20/1), Desert Beauty (50/1), Sir Kenny (125/1)

A tricky opener to solve but the suggestion is DREAM OUT LOUD, who improved on his debut form to finish second once again at Wolverhampton earlier this month and Andrew Balding's 3-y-o can make it third time lucky. Heading up the dangers is Blue Rc, who ticks plenty of boxes on paper and represents a yard amongst the winners. I Maximus and Juba can fight out minor honours.
