(4)

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: K S McHugh⁽⁷⁾| T: J Parr

Sergei Prokofiev gelding who has shaped with promise when third in a pair of 7f novices at Lingfield and Kempton this year. Entitled to progress further. Well in the mix.

Form: 33

(6)

Blue Mantle³⁰⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: C Johnston

15/2, encouraging third of 7 in maiden at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) on his debut 10 months ago. This Iffraaj colt should still take a step forward.

Form: 3-

(9)

Clonquest⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: William Pyle⁽³⁾| T: T D Barron

Ulysses colt who built on a promising debut when second of 11 over C&D in January, sticking to his task well. Winner has gone in since and he's a big player.

Form: 5-2

(2)

Cotai Eye Joe²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: O J Orr| T: I Furtado

Promising Cotai Glory gelding. 15/2, third of 5 in maiden at Wolverhampton (6.1f) on his debut 24 days ago, despite being very slowly away. Open to improvement.

Form: 3

(3)

Kode Grey¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby

25/1, tenth of 11 in 6f maiden here on his debut 16 days ago. This Kodi Bear gelding needs to take a big step forward.

Form: 0

Shimmering Spirit^h⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Faye McManoman| T: N Tinkler

Failed to build on debut fourth when coming in last of 4 in 1m novice here 7 days ago. Could still do better.

(5)

Henry Halflight²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Billy Garritty| T: L Bailey

Dawn Approach gelding who went backwards from a C&D debut second when only seventh of 9 in 1m novice here 25 days ago. Raced too freely there though so not dismissed dropping back in trip.

Form: 27

(1)

Tekitoff²³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: M Walford

Little show in a pair of maidens at Carlisle (6f) and Catterick (7f) last summer for Danny Brooke. Needs to take a major step forward for his new yard after a 7-month absence.

Form: 09-

(10)

Supreme Lillia¹¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Rowan Scott| T: G Tutty

40/1, encouraging third of 7 in novice over C&D on her debut in November. This Supremacy filly can take a step forward.

Form: 3-

(11)

Wagyu Star¹²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: J P Sullivan| T: J & S Quinn

Has cut little ice in 7f Catterick maiden and 6f Redcar novice last autumn. Lots more is needed after a 128-day layoff.

Form: 80-

(8)

Wee Dresser

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Greg Fairley| T: K Scott

Lightning Spear filly. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 7f winner Castle Harbour. The market can guide for this newcomer.

(7)

Wheres Veneker

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby

£15,000 yearling, Oasis Dream filly. Half-sister to smart winner up to 1½m Snoano and 6f-7f winner Tulip Dress. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m Sparkling Beam. Betting can prove an accurate indicator for this debutante.

Forecasts

Portman Blue (7/4), Clonquest (5/2), Supreme Lillia (9/2), Blue Mantle (13/2), Cotai Eye Joe (12/1), Henry Halflight (16/1), Wheres Veneker (20/1), Wee Dresser (25/1), Kode Grey (33/1), Wagyu Star (66/1), Shimmering Spirit (66/1), Tekitoff (200/1)

CLONQUEST has gone with promise when twice placed over C&D and can get off the mark at the chief expense of Portman Blue, who also looks to have better days ahead of him. Cotai Eye Joe and Supreme Lillia should also take a step forward and rate the pick of the rest.
