Jan Steen⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: D Egan| T: K R Burke| OR: 84

5/2

Winner on Thirsk debut in April. 15/2, respectable third of 7 in nursery at Chester (5f, good) 42 days ago, outpaced before late headway. The return to 6f is in his favour.

Form: 13053

(7)

Kesta²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 82| D

8/1

Three wins from 11 runs this year. 5/2, career best when winning 6-runner nursery at Nottingham (6f, good to soft) 23 days ago, driven out. Should remain very competitive off 3 lb higher.

Form: 213331

Better And Better²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A Keatley| OR: 81| D

11/4

Second career-win in a 6f handicap at Haydock in August. Creditable efforts in defeat since and no reason why he won't give his running again.

Form: 031934

Gorey Gold¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 80| D

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: K Shoemark| T: C Hills| OR: 75

4/1

Career best when winning 4-runner nursery at Ffos Las (5f, heavy) 27 days ago. A 7 lb rise for that comfortable success may not stop him if in similar form.

Form: 244351

Saniyaat's Star¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Cam Hardie| T: R A Fahey| OR: 70

Forecasts

Jan Steen (5/2), Better And Better (11/4), Proof (4/1), Kesta (8/1), Lebron Power (9/1), Gorey Gold (9/1), Saniyaat's Star (10/1)

PROOF coped well with deep ground at Ffos Las and can make light of a 7 lb rise for in-form Charlie Hills. Fellow last-time-out scorer Kesta is feared most ahead of Jan Steen, who should be suited by the return to 6f.
