Son of Space Blues who matched previous best when third in 9-runner maiden here (7f) on qualifying run in October, albeit aided by good position. Gelded ahead of return and type his yard do well with in handicaps.

Just A Gambler13
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-8| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Johnston| OR:  69| D
Had been gelded since last seen 5 months earlier and he showed improved form to edge a tight finish on handicap debut at Chelmsford (1m) 2 weeks ago, getting first run. Pedigree an ongoing recommendation and respected from 3 lb higher.

Thestralb196
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: H Palmer| OR:  68
Well-related individual who left his debut form in his wake when opening his account in 7-runner novice at Newcastle (7f) in December. Subsequently gelded and equipped with blinkers for handicap debut and he should go on improving now tackling 1m for the first time.

Heart Sign23
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Jack Morland| OR:  67
Promise in a couple of novice events last year and best effort yet after 4 months off/on debut for new yard when close fifth in maiden at Wolverhampton (7.1f) 23 days ago. Step up to 1m promises to suit now handicapping.

Age: 3|  Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR:  67| D
Had blinkers replacing cheekpieces when winning 7-runner handicap at Lingfield (1m) on penultimate start but not in same form when last of 4 at Southwell later that month. May be vulnerable to some less exposed types.

Hamaleelp22
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR:  67| CD
Found improvement on back of a break when scoring over C&D in January and ran well from 4 lb higher mark when second at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 3 weeks ago. Should give another good account from unchanged mark.

Armstrong209
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-5| J: D Egan| T: G Boughey| OR:  66
Expensive purchase who showed ability in a couple of turf novice/maidens last summer. Seemingly not 100% when last seen at Chelmsford 6 months ago but he's in good hands and remains with potential now handicapping after 6 months off (also gelded). Betting can guide.

Gnocchi163
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-4| J: J Mitchell| T: James Horton| OR:  65
Modest form at best in novice/maidens but clearly not 100% when eased off on nursery debut at Yarmouth in October. Resumes in a warm looking race for the grade though, and she's likely best watched.

Station Bar117
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-4| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR:  65
Son of Oasis Dream who was knocking on the door when last seen, again finding only one too good in 7f nursery at Southwell in November. Can give another good account for all this is a step up in class.

Forecasts

Thestral (7/2), Armstrong (4/1), Just A Gambler (6/1), Hamaleel (6/1), Station Bar (7/1), Heart Sign (7/1), Blues And Royals (8/1), Ebn Sabt (10/1), Gnocchi (33/1)

Verdict

The well-bred THESTRAL proved a different proposition with his debut run behind him when scoring at Newcastle in December and, gelded ahead of his handicap debut, he's fancied to continue the good work with blinkers also enlisted. Chelmsford scorer Just A Gambler and Heart Sign are others to consider in an interesting race for the grade.
