Bowen Island²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: O McSweeney⁽³⁾| T: K A Ryan| OR: 82

9/4

Quirky sort who was well backed prior to opening his account in 5-runner handicap at Beverley (7.4f) in April. Never landed a blow in a much deeper affair at Haydock but return to this lower level can see him in a better light.

Form: 435-219

Fort Campbell²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Ferguson| OR: 81

11/4

War Front colt who continued theme of race-by-race progress on return from 7 months off when winning 9-runner novice at Kempton (7f, 2/1) 20 days ago. Completely unexposed over 1m and he appeals as the type to go on improving now attentions switch to handicaps.

Form: 53-1

(6)

Immediate Effect²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 81| BF

5/1

Won maiden on debut at Wolverhampton (7f) in October and better form in finishing runner-up both subsequent starts, still green and just touched off on return to action at Brighton 4 weeks ago. Just the type his shrewd stable do well with in handicaps and highly likely there's more to come.

Form: 12-2

Wiltshire Lad^v²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: P J McDonald| T: A M Balding| OR: 81| CD

3/1

Much-improved when winning 7-runner C&D nursery in October (final start for Sir Michael Stoute). Subsequently gelded and has been rather disappointing in 2 starts for new yard, seventh of 8 in handicap at Goodwood (1m) 25 days ago. Return to this surface needs to have positive effect now.

Form: 4251-67

(3)

Loch Leven²³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R Kingscote| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 77

10/1

Lightly-raced filly who looked sharper than previously and showed improved form when winning 10-runner maiden at Kempton (7f) in October, comfortably. Return to 1m ought to hold no fears now handicapping on return and she's worth a second look.

Form: 42841-

Camino Del Ray²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Ryan Sexton| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 77

33/1

Won 6-runner maiden at Newcastle (7f) on debut in March and improved when runner-up in a Redcar novice (7f) next time. Underperformed when seventh of 11 in novice at Carlisle (6.9f) 29 days ago but not one to write off now handicapping.

Form: 127

Forecasts

Bowen Island (9/4), Fort Campbell (11/4), Wiltshire Lad (3/1), Immediate Effect (5/1), Miss Yorkshire (8/1), Loch Leven (10/1), Camino Del Ray (33/1)

IMMEDIATE EFFECT matched the pick of his juvenile form despite still looking a work in progress when just touched off on return at Brighton (1m) 4 weeks ago and, just the type his yard excel with in handicaps, he's fancied to build on that and come out on top. That said, Fort Campbell boasts a very positive profile and shouldn't be underestimated. The returning Loch Leven is another fancied to be thereabouts.
