The Tunguska Event^b⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 59| BF| D

Lightly-raced sort who scored comfortably at Newcastle in November. Only fifth of 6 in nursery (8/11) at Newcastle (6f) 44 days ago but is worth another chance.

Form: 00815-

(4)

Tickettothestars¹¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: B R Millman| OR: 59

Arrives below par, sixth of 9 in nursery at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 14/1) 117 days ago. Needs to get back on track after a break.

Form: 756966-

(6)

Mereside Princess^p1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Rob Hornby| T: T D Barron| OR: 57

Solid fourth of 9 in nursery (9/1) at this course (7.1f) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and needs considering.

Form: 048334-

(3)

Maynora^b1¹³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: P J McDonald| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 57

Failed to get home when sixth of 7 in nursery at Kempton (7f, 4/1) 134 days ago. Makes tapeta debut back in trip with binkers added. No forlorn hope.

Form: 785546-

(8)

Dartrey⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 56

Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, eleventh of 15 in novice at Newmarket (7f, good) 62 days ago. Makes handicap debut now and this Lope De Vega gelding could still do better for good yard.

Form: 800-

(2)

Mademoiselle Belle¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Harry Davies| T: B Ellison| OR: 55

Still a maiden and she came in a below-par fourth of 7 in nursery at Newcastle (6f, 28/1) 13 days ago. Others are preferred.

Form: 053374-

(9)

Al Najashi³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Nicola Currie| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 53

Territories colt who has shaped with promise on his three runs to date, hooded when fourth of 8 in novice (80/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 33 days ago, running on late. Has more to offer now handicapping up in trip. A likely player.

Form: 044-

(7)

Rogue Rebellion¹⁰⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: James Owen| OR: 51WS

Thrice-raced maiden. 33/1, last of 9 in novice at Pontefract (6f, soft) 105 days ago on his final run for David O'Meara. Makes handicap debut for his new yard after a wind op. Not without interest.

Form: 859-

Forecasts

The Tunguska Event (5/2), Mereside Princess (4/1), Maynora (5/1), Tafah (8/1), Dartrey (8/1), Tickettothestars (12/1), Al Najashi (12/1), Rogue Rebellion (12/1), Mademoiselle Belle (12/1)

This is wide open but Ollie Sangster's AL NAJASHI appeals as a likely improver now going handicapping back up in trip so edges the vote from in-form Mereside Princess. James Owen's new recruit Rogue Rebellion is another who commands plenty of respect, while The Tunguska Event is also weighted to go well if back on song.
