Horse A-Z
Hasn't shown enough in 2 starts to believe she's capable of winning a race such as this, eighth of 13 in maiden at Kempton (18/1) in January. Bred to need longer distances in time.

Knew more than on debut when winning novice over C&D (4/5) in October, scoring readily with the second going on to win next time. The one to beat with further improvement to come.

In need of the experience but shaped encouragingly when third of 10 in novice at Chelmsford (9/1) on debut 16 days ago. Should do better with that behind him.

30,000 gns foal. Saxon Warrior half-brother to 7f (including at 2 yrs) winner Like A Lion. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner (including Moyglare Stud Stakes) who stayed 1m. First newcomer sent out by his trainer and probably worth keeping an eye on in the betting as a result.

In need of the experience both starts last year, well-beaten sixth of 8 in maiden at Pontefract (6f, 12/1) on latest outing in October. Needs another run for a handicap mark.

Runner-up over 7f at Wolverhampton on debut before meeting in-running trouble when third of 7 in novice at the same course (8.6f, 2/1) 29 days ago. That form probably isn't much to write home about, however.

Offered something to work on at big odds (66/1) when sixth of 14 in novice at this C&D in December. Has plenty to find in this, though.

Forecasts

Shafi (10/11), Padraig Dawn (11/5), Master Of Keraunos (4/1), Tommo's Ginjaninja (17/2), Salkadan (22/1), Kamaway (66/1), Gilleangirl (66/1), Lihou Lady (100/1)

Verdict

SHAFI got off the mark with plenty to spare over C&D in October and has obvious claims with more still to offer on his return. The biggest threat could come from Master of Keraunos, who showed promise when third at Chelmsford on his recent debut, whilst the experience of Tommo's Ginjaninja should hild him in good stead.
