Thrice-raced maiden. 15/2, fifth of 10 in novice at Kempton (6f) 40 days ago, keeping on well. Visor on 1st time for this handicap debut and it wouldn't be much of a surprise were he to take a step forward.
|
Lightly-raced maiden. 6/1, creditable fourth of 10 in nursery at Lingfield (6f, AW) 28 days ago. Makes tapeta debut off 1 lb lower mark and could make his presence felt.
|
Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1, seventh of 9 in nursery at Southwell (8.1f) 24 days ago, left poorly placed. Easy enough to look elsewhere.
|
11/1 and hooded for 1st time, bit below form sixth of 11 in nursery at Haydock (7f, good to soft) 87 days ago, worst of draw. May well be a factor if taking to this surface but there is suspicion that sprinting could prove to be his game.
|
Winner at Brighton in September. Creditable second of 9 in nursery (12/1) at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) when last seen in October. The worry is that she failed to fire on sole previous visit here.
|
Lightly-raced winner. C&D winner. Fifth of 8 at Newcastle (8f, 8/15) 41 days ago and, disappointing an effort though that was, he shouldn't be written off given the manner of his handicap debut success here in November.
|
Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, eighth of 10 in nursery at this course (6.1f) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter.
|
9/4, career best when winning 8-runner nursery at Newcastle (7.1f) 23 days ago. 1 lb rise for that joint success (dead-heated) fair enough and he has to be high on the shortlist.

Forecasts
Crown The Future (11/8), Sailor Batt (3/1), Surgeon Commander (5/1), Because We Can (15/2), Slack Bob (12/1), Prancy Peer (16/1), Pimentel (25/1), Spirit Of Mara (50/1)
SURGEON COMMANDER raised his game when sharing the spoils at Newcastle last month and, nudged up just 1 lb for that, he is taken to follow up. Next on the list is Slack Bob, who wasn't beaten far on his handicap bow at Lingfield. Because We Can is having his first run in handicap company and, provided that the first-time visor has the desired effect, he could also have a part to play, along with Crown The Future.
- Slack Bob12/1
- Because We Can15/2
