One win from 3 runs last year. Proved to be a disappointment making handicap debut when ninth of 12 at Thirsk (8f, good to firm, 9/2) when last seen 7 months ago. Can get back on track.

5/1
9/5, improved again to double his tally in 8-runner handicap at Newcastle (8f) just under 3 weeks ago, leading over 1f out and always holding on. Nudged up 4 lb and should remain competitive.

Seemed unsuited by the fitting of a hood for her handicap debut when last of 8 (40/1) at Kempton (7f) 5 weeks ago, going in snatches. Makes turf debut.

12/1
Gelded and showed more than previously when fourth of 11 in novice at Kempton (7f, 18/1) 4 months ago. Pedigree suggest he will go on improving and can kick on making handicap debut.

Forecasts

Play Me (5/2), Zarathos (11/4), Antiquity (5/1), Lady Mariko (15/2), Pistrucci (9/1), Azoozi (11/1), Duke Orsino (12/1), What's She At (20/1), Olivia Jane (28/1)

Verdict

Preference is for ANTIQUITY, who is gradually progressive and can defy a 4 lb rise in the weights having doubled his tally with a gutsy display at Newcastle just under 3 weeks ago. Heading up the threats is Zarathos, who matched his previous form switched to a handicap last time and now makes his turf debut. Duke Orsino can edge out Lady Mariko for minor honours.
