Havana Halo⁷⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 70

11/5

Thrice-raced maiden. 16/1, last of 6 in novice at Haydock (7f, good to firm) 76 days ago. The presence of Oisin Murphy in the saddle makes her of interest on handicap debut, particularly if the betting vibes are strong.

Form: 556

Just King High¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: R Havlin| T: T Faulkner| OR: 70

11/2

AW maiden winner last year but has struggled in turf handicaps this time round, finishing ninth of 10 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on yard debut 11 days ago. A return to AW needs to spark a significant upturn in his fortunes.

Form: 1-90779

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D Loughnane| OR: 68

Token Gesture³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Tyler Heard| T: M D I Usher| OR: 68| CD

11/2

C&D nursery winner last autumn. 11/2, possibly needed the run when fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (6f) on reappearance 34 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Enters calculations with that behind him.

Form: 9571-5

(2)

Warrnambool^p1,t1³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: N P Littmoden| OR: 65| BF

5/2

Last of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (1m, good, 9/4) on Sunday, possibly not helped by racing on far side of track. Creditable fifth at Newbury prior to that. Tongue strap and cheekpieces are added for the first time.

Form: 9-45958

I'm Workin On It²⁸⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: B R Millman| OR: 59WS

11/1

Down the field in 3 outings last autumn. Off 9 months ahead of this handicap debut. The betting is perhaps the best guide to expectations.

Forecasts

Havana Halo (11/5), Warrnambool (5/2), Token Gesture (11/2), Just King High (11/2), Man Of Steel (6/1), I'm Workin On It (11/1), Lexington Jet (14/1), Impulse Buy (18/1), Fulford Cross (22/1)

TOKEN GESTURE should be sharper for last month's course reappearance and is taken to land a second Kempton success. The booking of Oisin Murphy for Havana Halo catches the eye and she's second choice ahead of Impulse Buy.
