Flying Comet^t²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: S De Sousa| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 96| CD

9/2

Useful colt. 40/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 11-runner minor event at this C&D (good) 28 days ago. Makes the shortlist in follow up bid.

Form: 25135-1

Hilitany^t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 99| D

12/1

Useful colt. Won two minor events at Windsor last year. Bit below form 4½ lengths fourth of 10 to Cover Up in Blue Point Sprint (11/1) at this course (5f, good) 14 days ago, slowly away. Back down in grade and back up in trip. May need a few to falter.

Form: 2117-44

Maximized²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: M Barzalona| T: C Appleby| OR: 97| D

10/3

Useful gelding. Won first 2 starts from 4 runs last year. 12/1, good 1½ lengths third of 11 to Flying Comet in minor event at this C&D (good) 28 days ago. Bit more required for win purposes but looks a player for minor money.

Form: 1155-3

(14)

Northern Champion³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: E Walker| C

7/1

Useful colt. One win from 3 runs last year. 12/1, career best when winning 14-runner minor event at this course (7f, good) 35 days ago by short head from Catullus, well positioned. Back down in trip and worse off at the weights than that rival here, but one for the shortlist nonetheless.

Form: 159-1

Catullus³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 96

11/8

Useful colt. Maiden winner at Yarmouth in August. Creditable short-head second of 14 to Northern Champion in minor event (7/4) at this course (7f, good) 35 days ago, not ideally placed. Should be suited by this drop in trip and is not taken lightly.

Form: 3214-2

(3)

Postmodern²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: James Doyle| T: H Al Jehani| OR: 96| D

10/1

Fairly useful colt. One win from 2 runs last year. 11/2, 4¾ lengths seventh of 11 to Flying Comet in minor event at this C&D (good) 28 days ago. Entitled to come on for that recent run.

Form: 10-7

Power For Power^t⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: B Seemar| C

50/1

Fairly useful colt. Course winner in December. 20/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, seventh of 10 in minor event at this course (8f, good) 7 days ago. Down in trip. Has a bit to find.

Form: 231-87

Yasup^t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S Hitchcott| T: A Bin Harmash| D

50/1

Fairly useful colt. Winner at Jebel Ali on debut in January. 22¼ lengths eleventh of 16 to Six Speed in UAE 2000 Guineas at Meydan (8f, 28/1) 14 days ago. Back down in trip.

Form: 10

Almutanabbi²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: V Salgado| T: R Bouresly

100/1

Modest colt. 40/1, fourth of 14 in maiden at Jebel Ali (6f) 20 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 04

(7)

Do Or Do Not^b1²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J A Osborne| OR: 104

18/1

Fairly useful colt. 18/1, respectable 4½ lengths sixth of 11 to Flying Comet in minor event at this C&D (good) 28 days ago, never nearer. Is yet to fire for this yard and may again find a few improvers too good.

Form: 3362-66

(4)

Zumbezi^v⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M N Nieslanik

50/1

Fairly useful colt. 18/1, eighth of 10 in minor event at this course (8f, good) 7 days ago, slowly away. Back down in trip. Others more persuasive.

Form: 3-58

(13)

Cat Belling

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Bernardo Pinheiro| T: R Bouresly

100/1

Midshipman filly. Related to some minor US stakes winners. Cost $25,000 as a juvenile. Hard to make a case for on paper.

125/1

Failed to beat a rival in 2 minor events. Down in trip. Very hard to make a case for.

Forecasts

Catullus (11/8), Maximized (10/3), Flying Comet (9/2), Northern Champion (7/1), Postmodern (10/1), Hilitany (12/1), Do Or Do Not (18/1), Zumbezi (50/1), Yasup (50/1), Power For Power (50/1), Almutanabbi (100/1), Cat Belling (100/1), Hannem (125/1), Akram (150/1)

CATULLUS has previously shaped as if worth a try at this shorter trip and is taken to reverse form from last time with Northern Champion. Flying Comet and Maximized can fight it out for minor honours.
