9/2

Fair maiden after 11 runs. Ran up to best when second of 4 in maiden at Catterick (6f, good to firm), having run of race. Off 121 days. Has the form to be a big player but vulnerable to less-exposed ones.

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Finley Marsh| T: J Channon

14/1

Twice-raced gelding who was sill green when fifth of 8 in novice at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 44 days ago. Needs this for a handicap mark.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: A Watson

7/2

Showed plenty to work on amidst inexperience when fourth of 8 in novice at Lingfield (5f, AW) on debut 22 days ago. Likely to improve.

5/2

Hello Youmzain colt who offered something to work on when third of 5 in novice at Lingfield (6f, AW) on debut 24 days ago. Entitled to do better.

Allegrino⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: A M Balding

9/1

Left debut form well behind when second of 8 in novice at Kempton (6f) 50 days ago, headed dying strides. That's probably just about the best form on offer and there could be more to come based on her useful pedigree.

Form: 82-

Havana Jag⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Cieren Fallon| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 62

10/1

Fair filly who ran creditably when fourth of 10 in nursery at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 9 days ago. Remains vulnerable to less-exposed types.

Preferred

33/1

Masar filly. Half-sister to winner up to 6f Byefornow. Dam, 6f winner, closely related to smart winner up to 1m Hors de Combat and useful 2-y-o 6f winner Yourtimeisnow. Wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary to make an impact on debut.

Forecasts

Sparksmith (5/2), Evenepoel (7/2), Gennadius (9/2), Arishka's Dream (6/1), Rawson (13/2), Allegrino (9/1), Havana Jag (10/1), Special Acclaim (14/1), In Denial (25/1), Preferred (33/1), Roccobear (66/1), Nautical Sky (80/1)

ALLEGRINO was much improved from her initial experience when denied only at the death at Kempton in November and, with her useful pedigree suggesting there could be further progress in the pipeline, she's taken to make it third time lucky. Evenepoel was getting the hang of things late on at Lingfield on his recent debut and seems likely to do better, as does Sparksmith, while Preferred is a respected newcomer.
