Moon Beginnings⁷⁷

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

5/6

Saxon Warrior gelding made a winning start when landing a 7-runner novice at Chester (7f, good, 12/1) 77 days ago, deserving extra credit having to make ground on the outside. Didn't beat much that day but should improve upped to 1m. Respected under a penalty.

Form: 1

Marine¹⁸⁹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: T Eaves| T: G & J Moore

40/1

Well-bred but hasn't been seen since finishing sixth of 11 in novice (12/1) at Sandown (8f, good) on debut in September 2020. Left Andrew Balding for 21,000 gns the following year (gelded since) and market should guide on reappearance/stable debut.

Form: 6/

Champagne Powder^b1³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K Shoemark| T: Oliver Cole| OR: 87

3/1

Fairly useful form as a juvenile on better ground but yet to match that form in softer conditions as a 3-y-o. Gelded prior to making no impression on handicap debut at Newbury (7f) last month but will likely fare better back in a maiden in first-time blinkers.

Form: 43-2746

(9)

Far And Above²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: George Wood| T: R A Teal

16/1

Shown fair ability in both starts, still green when 10/1, third of 7 in novice at Kempton (8f) last time, following 4 months off. Entitled to take a step forward from that run but may prove better off in handicaps.

Form: 73

Wadacre Moriarty³²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Loughnane| T: C Johnston

33/1

Arizona gelding only showed greenness when last of 6 in maiden (17/2) at Newcastle (8f) on debut in January. Hard to make a case for unless the betting expects him to improve significantly.

Form: 6

(3)

Ohana^h⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Cam Hardie| T: D Shaw

300/1

Twice-raced maiden. 400/1, last of 10 in novice at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 6 days ago. Isn't one to be interested in.

Form: 90

(8)

Digub^h1⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas

5/2

360,000 gns yearling, Sea The Stars showed plenty when fourth in a 7f maiden at Newmarket in September 2024. Needed the run and experience when sixth of 9 in novice at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm, 5/2) 53 days ago. In excellent hands and worth another chance in first-time hood.

Form: 4-6

(10)

Squiffy

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J Mitchell| T: H Main

50/1

Iffraaj filly. Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner). Newcomer only considered if supported.

Forecasts

Moon Beginnings (5/6), Digub (5/2), Champagne Powder (3/1), Pulsar Star (11/1), Far And Above (16/1), Oceans Five (20/1), Wadacre Moriarty (33/1), Marine (40/1), Squiffy (50/1), Ohana (300/1)

DIGUB showed plenty to work with when fourth on debut at Newmarket and was still too green on her reappearance at Yarmouth a year on. She's worth another chance in a first-time hood, with Champagne Powder (fairly useful as a juvenile) feared most if blinkers have the desired effect. Chester winner More Beginnings could have more to offer upped to 1m, while Oceans Five is worth a market check returning from an absence.
