9/4
Has made a promising start to his career. Shaped like the best horse when runner-up on debut and duly followed up with back-to-back victories, latest after 3 months off when winning a Wolverhampton novice (9.5f), always holding on. Remains unexposed on turf debut and could well land the hat-trick.

Attracted support when placed on second start in a 1m York maiden. Build on that when off the mark down in trip at Redcar (7f) next time, staying on well having been off the bridle a long way out. Step back up in trip should suit and he's one to consider on handicap debut.

Left previous form behind when fifth in a valuable 1m Doncaster maiden on his final run of last season. Has been gelded in the interim and may do even better now handicapping, representing an excellent yard.

Ran creditably when third in a Salisbury novice in July for Eve Johnson Houghton but failed to progress in nurseries subsequently, including when tried in first-time cheekpieces on final run for that yard. Has a bit to find on stable debut.

Dual winner on the all-weather for Michael Bell and landed a third success on debut for this yard back in October. His progress has somewhat stalled since and he looked a tricky ride when finishing last at Southwell (after 4 months off) last time. Others preferred.

6/1
Ran to a fairly-useful level when runner-up on debut for Donnacha O'Brien last season but failed to progress subsequently, tried in cheekpieces for final two starts for that yard (removed). Worth a market check on stable debut but he could be vulnerable to a more progressive type.

Showed something to work with on last two starts in maidens, well placed when finishing 1½ lengths fifth of 6 at Beverley last September. Has been gelded and the market should guide expectations on handicap debut following 6-months off.

Backed at double-figure odds when posting his best effort to date on final start for Jim Bolger last season, keeping on to finish second of 9 in nursery at Leopardstown (8f, soft). Interesting recruit for yard that have made a flying start to the season.

Forecasts

Marhaba Ghaiyyath (9/4), Arbitration (7/2), Magellan Cloud (9/2), I Am Me (6/1), Springbok (6/1), Chesneys Charm (12/1), Native Honey (22/1), Defence Missile (50/1)

Verdict

Hat-trick seeking MARHABA GHAIYYATH has been winning with something to spare and looks open to improvement on handicap/turf debut. He appeals most ahead of last-time out winner Magellan Cloud who shaped as though he will appreciate this longer trip on handicap debut, while Native Honey has to be respected on stable debut with his yard in flying form.
