€70,000 Kodi Bear gelding who wasn't seen to best effect when well-backed fourth in claimer on return/stable debut and looks well worth try over 1m on handicap bow.

€15,000 Kuroshio gelding was friendless in the betting when runner-up in 7f claimer on reappearance, and he's entitled to step forward upped to 1m on handicap debut.

Well-related Starspangledbanner filly has looked in need of the experience in trio of maiden starts here but could prove a different proposition now sent handicapping by excellent yard.

Showed improved form to get off the mark in C&D handicap in January and should be suited by return to this trip having raced too freely over 1¼m last time.

Speedily-bred Iffraaj gelding had Billy Lee aboard first time (retained) when showing improved form to get off the mark over 7f here, travelling smoothly and quickening to chin better-placed rival. Must go close if seeing out the longer trip.

No impact over C&D on return from 5 months off but she's more than likely been campaigned with handicaps in mind. Better expected.

Left previous form behind when making winning handicap debut/return over C&D 7 days ago. She was well placed, however, and wouldn't be an obvious one to follow up.

Showed a good deal more than previously (from 6 lb out the handicap) when 1¼ lengths third of 8 to Brave Approach over C&D 7 days ago, for all she was better placed than most in a muddling race.

Forecasts

Iff In Doubt (11/10), Pliny (7/2), Dawn Flame (11/2), Personified (11/1), Keepsgettingbetter (12/1), Brave Approach (14/1), Ramair (16/1), Elora Prince (33/1), Kactus Jack (33/1)

Verdict

PERSONIFIED looks the type to improve markedly for handicaps and she gets the vote, though impressive last-time-out winner Iff In Doubt is feared if proving as effective over 1m. Keepsgettingbetter is another to note in an open race.
