Man Of Desert¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Marco Ghiani| T: C A Dwyer

200/1

Study of Man colt who showed fair form on his only start at 3 yrs. Below best after 9 months off when sixth of 8 in novice at Southwell (8.1f) 11 days ago, plodding on and handicaps after this may be more his thing.

Form: 6-6

Desert Heart²²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: H Crouch| T: E Walker

7/1

Oasis Dream colt. Brother to useful 7f/1m winner Tasfeeq. Made an encouraging start to career when fourth of 7 in novice at Sandown (7f, good, 22/1) on debut. back in September. Has plenty about him physically to suggest he can do better again as a 3-y-o.

Form: 4-

(10)

Golden Handshake

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas

20/1

Zarak gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 1m winner Kiteflyer and 9.5f winner Value Added. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 1¼m-15f winner Shemima. Noteworthy newcomer.

Influential

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S De Sousa| T: R Varian

12/1

240,000 gns yearling, Wootton Bassett colt. Dam, winner up to 1¼m (2-y-o 7f winner), half-sister to winner up to 7f Tropical Paradise and 5f-7f winner Harlem Shake (both smart). One to note on debut.

Kaizen^t1¹⁹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: K Shoemark| T: J & T Gosden| BF

9/4

425,000 gns yearling, Kingman colt. Held back by inexperience when sixth of 11 in novice at Southwell (7.1f, 11/8) on debut in October, unable to sustain effort. Tongue strap fitted for return and no surprise to see him leave that behind

Form: 6-

Raedwald²⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

12/1

Once-raced colt. Seventh of 10 in maiden at Newbury (8f, good to firm, 100/1) on debut in August. This should reveal more but he may be one for later on when tackling longer trips.

Form: 7-

(5)

Roman Centurion¹⁹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Shepherd| T: J Ryan

14/1

Sent off at big prices both starts to date yet he'd clearly derived plenty from his debut experience when second of 13 in a soft ground novice here (7f) in October, edged out close home. A repeat gives him sound claims of being involved on seasonal bow.

Form: 82-

(9)

Showyoutheropes¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: N Callan| T: Tom Clover

25/1

Once-raced gelding who ran to a modest level when eleventh of 15 in maiden (50/1) at Newmarket (8f, good) on debut 15 days ago. This promises to reveal more.

Form: 0

(7)

Soho Legend

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jonny Peate| T: J Ferguson

100/1

€150,000 yearling, Sea The Moon gelding. Closely related to smart 1¼m-1¾m winner Sea La Rosa and very smart 1¼m-13f winner Deauville Legend. Dam winner up to 11f (2-y-o 8.5f winner) in France/Germany. One to monitor in the betting for clues on debut.

Form:

(6)

Spy Kingdom¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A Watson

6/5

Kitten's Joy colt who has plenty about him physically and produced a very promising first effort when second of 15 in maiden at Newmarket (8f, good, 14/1) on debut 15 days ago. Open to improvement and he ought to be in the thick of things again.

Form: 2

(8)

Stardrop^t1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Ray Dawson| T: James Owen

200/1

Twice-raced colt. Eighth of 9 in novice at Newmarket (10f, good, 80/1) 15 days ago, labouring 4f out. Tongue strap on for 1st time.

Form: 48

(11)

Romance In Rome^h¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: J F Egan| T: Michael Keady

250/1

Churchill filly. Hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving Ollie Sangster when eighth of 14 in novice at Kempton (10f) 10 days ago, making little impression. Handicaps will be more her bag after this.

Form: 58

Forecasts

Spy Kingdom (6/5), Kaizen (9/4), Desert Heart (7/1), Influential (12/1), Raedwald (12/1), Roman Centurion (14/1), Golden Handshake (20/1), Showyoutheropes (25/1), Soho Legend (100/1), Man Of Desert (200/1), Stardrop (200/1), Romance In Rome (250/1)

SPY KINGDOM marked himself down as a banker for a race of this nature when a very encouraging second on debut at Newmarket (1m) 2 weeks ago and Archie Watson's colt can confirm the promise of that effort and go one place better. Kazen is another likely improver on his first start at 3 yrs and is feared along with Roman Centurion. Influential and Golden Handshake are a pair of newcomers from leading yards to note, also.
