Hard To Believe¹⁶⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 77

4/6

Promising type who built on his encouraging debut when landing a 10-runner Bath novice (1m, good) in October, seeing off a subsequent winner. More to come stepping up in trip and he's the one to beat.

Astrological

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

9/4

6,000 gns half-brother to 9f/1¼m winner Chourmo. Yard's newcomers typically come on for a run and it's likely that this colt will do just that.

N'ion²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S D Bowen| T: Ian Williams

200/1

Little impact on debut at Kempton 3 weeks ago and probably more one for handicaps later on.

Form: 8

Room Fourteen¹¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Edward Greatrex| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 66

5/1

Appears to be getting the hang of things judged on her latest effort at Lingfield (1m) where she put in good late work to finish third in an 11-runner maiden, without being knocked about. Improvement likely now faced with a stiffer test.

Form: 683-

Thunder Goddess¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Nicola Currie| T: A M Balding

50/1

Easy to back ahead of her debut sixth in a 7-runner maiden at Lingfield (1m) 18 days ago. Hard To Believe is clearly the stable No 1 and this filly will probably be better off in handicaps further down the line.

Forecasts

Hard To Believe (4/6), Astrological (9/4), Room Fourteen (5/1), Clarissa Eclipse (8/1), Thunder Goddess (50/1), N'ion (200/1)

HARD TO BELIEVE and Room Fourteen should both improve for this step up in trip, with preference for the former who got the better of a next-time-out winner when scoring at Bath on the second of his 2 starts as a juvenile. Newcomer Clarissa Eclipse is worth a second look in the betting.
