Philanthropist²¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 82| D

4/1

Thrice-raced winner. Won 12-runner maiden at Newcastle (7.1f, 8/13) when last seen 7 months ago. Appeals as the type to progress in handicaps this season but others look better treated on this occasion.

Form: 821-

Kirkdale¹⁸⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell| OR: 78| D

9/2

Thrice-raced winner. One win from 3 runs last year. Readily won 8-runner novice (11/10) at Catterick (7f, soft) on final start of his 2-y-o campaign (gelded since). Likely improve on this handicap debut.

Form: 521-

Prince Of India^t²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M Botti| OR: 77| D

7/5

Tongue strap on for 1st time, won 7-runner novice at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 4/6) 22 days ago, well on top finish. Open to further progress now that he ventures down the handicap route.

Form: 494-1

(4)

Nahash¹⁷⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: A J Farragher| T: James Horton| OR: 76| D

20/1

Thrice-raced winner. One win from 3 runs last year. 66/1, eleventh of 14 in minor event at York (7f, soft), merely passing beaten rivals. Off 179 days ahead of this handicap debut and he looks up against it.

Form: 310-

(10)

Stenmark^h1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ray Dawson| T: J Ferguson| OR: 76

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fourth of 8 in maiden (7/2) at this C&D 20 days ago. Hood added for this handicap debut and he's not without each-way hope.

Form: 436-4

(2)

Stapleford Park¹⁹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: K Shoemark| T: C Fellowes| OR: 74| D

16/1

Lightly-raced winner. 6/1, career best when winning 10-runner nursery at Chester (7f, soft), well on top finish. Off 6 months ahead of this tapeta debut (gelded in the interim) and more will be needed off this 4 lb higher mark.

Form: 42541-

(9)

Captain Harry¹⁹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Watson| T: A M Balding| OR: 73

17/2

Thrice-raced maiden. Tenth of 14 in sales race at the Curragh (7f, good to soft, 66/1) in September (subsequently gelded). Likely to be seen in a better light now handicapping.

Form: 470-

(8)

Platinum Crystal¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 73

20/1

Promising type. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f, 17/2) 19 days ago, just holding on. 3 lb nudge fair enough and there should be better to come from this filly back at 7f.

Form: 763-1

(3)

Dandy Magic⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 73

28/1

Winner at Newcastle in November. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (15/2) at this course (6.1f) 52 days ago, nearest finish. Should make her presence felt.

Form: 7801-54

(7)

Juba¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Tommie Jakes⁽⁵⁾| T: B J Meehan| OR: 72

25/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 5/1, sixth of 8 in maiden at Chelmsford City (6f) 12 days ago. Needs to raise his game now pitched into a handicap.

Form: 96-6

Forecasts

Prince Of India (7/5), Philanthropist (4/1), Kirkdale (9/2), Captain Harry (17/2), Stenmark (12/1), Stapleford Park (16/1), Nahash (20/1), Platinum Crystal (20/1), Juba (25/1), Dandy Magic (28/1)

PLATINUM CRYSTAL improved with each of her three starts as a juvenile and maintained that theme of race-by-race progress when narrowly prevailing on handicap debut at Newcastle last month. She should have more to offer now moving back up in trip and gets the nod ahead of another upwardly mobile type in Kirkdale, who signed off his 2-y-o campaign on a winning note. Prince of India did the job well when opening his account at Wolverhampton and also has claims, along with Dandy Magic.
