9/2
Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1, thirteenth of 14 in nursery at Newbury (7f, good to soft). Off 6 months ahead of this tapeta/yard debut and he needs to raise his game.

8/1
Lightly-raced winner. 6/1, creditable second of 7 in nursery at Southwell (7.1f) when last seen in November. Resumes on a 4 lb higher mark but she should have more to offer.

5/6
Promising individual. 7/4, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 15 days ago. 3 lb nudge fair and he should make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick.

18/1
Successful at Kempton in January. Very good 1¼ lengths third of 8 to Tuco Salamanca in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 33/1) 15 days ago. Now 4 lb better off with that rival and should make her presence felt.

Seventh of 10 in nursery at York (7.9f, soft, 25/1), merely closing up late. Off 168 days ahead of this tapeta debut and one or two of these are more appealing.

Forecasts

Tuco Salamanca (5/6), Saxonia (4/1), War Howl (9/2), Hot To Dot (8/1), Sorbus (18/1), Tarlac (40/1), Suzette (40/1), Blueandtangerine (80/1), Bad Habits (100/1)

Verdict

TUCO SALAMANCA underwent wind surgery following three quiet runs at 2 yrs and has improved markedly since returning to action last month, landing a 7f Kempton maiden in good style prior to following up on handicap debut over 8.6f at Wolverhampton. A 3 lb rise for that probably underestimates him and dropping back in trip shouldn't inconvenience this strong-travelling type. Hot To Dot also remains with potential and she is second choice ahead of Sorbus and Saxonia.
