Faithful Dream⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Watson| T: M Appleby| OR: 60| BF

7/2

Posted a very good second at Kempton (6f) on penultimate start and ran well despite again not being seen to best effect when fifth at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 9 days ago. Won't be long in opening his account on that evidence and well drawn here.

Form: 0-52425

Hurricane Ann²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Vigors⁽⁷⁾| T: P W Chapple-Hyam| OR: 58

11/1

Back to something like debut form when sixth of 12 in a novice at Kempton over 7f last month but looked to have little in hand from opening mark when fifth on handicap bow back there (6f) 24 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 8-665

Go Lockers Go^h¹⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M L W Bell| OR: 58| BF

10/3

Showed more than previously following a break/gelding operation when fourth on nursery debut here (5f) in October. However, will need to settle better in refitted hood to make more of an impact back up at 6f. Yard amongst the winners.

Form: 5364-

In Denial⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Edward Greatrex| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 57

10/1

Lightly-raced sort who showed improved form despite being left poorly placed from a wide draw when fourth on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 9 days ago. Of interest on the back of that from same mark.

Form: 75-74

(8)

Amakhala^p1²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: George Bass| T: M D I Usher| OR: 52

50/1

Offered little either start in handicaps since returning this year, too free for latest of them at Kempton (6f) 24 days ago. Cheekpieces now reached for.

Form: 578-79

Saeculamation²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D Egan| T: G G Margarson| OR: 52| CD

8/1

Off the mark from 2 lb lower mark over C&D in December but backward steps in 2 runs since the turn of the year. Needs to get back on track.

Form: 7241-58

(7)

Magnificent Mel²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: B R Millman| OR: 48

11/2

Best effort when neck second of 11 at Wolverhampton (25/1) 2 starts back and best not judged on her latest Kempton seventh on the back of a quick turnaround/wide draw. Not dismissed.

Form: 73-8527

(9)

A Lott Of Kane⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 46

4/1

Showed further improvement from lowly mark when third at Lingfield (5f) in January. Gelded prior to a below par display at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 9 days ago and best watched unless market spoke in his favour.

Form: 0774-39

(3)

What A Tahoo⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: R A Fahey| OR: 45

14/1

Very much learning in maidens/novices and showed more when fourth of 12 on handicap debut at Newcastle (6f) in February. However, never involved tackling 7f for the first time back there 7 days ago.

Form: 87-947

The Tunguska Event⁴⁴

Weight: 9-9| Age: 3

T: J & S Quinn J: Non Runner

Forecasts

The Tunguska Event (11/4), Go Lockers Go (10/3), Faithful Dream (7/2), A Lott Of Kane (4/1), Magnificent Mel (11/2), Saeculamation (8/1), In Denial (10/1), Hurricane Ann (11/1), What A Tahoo (14/1), Amakhala (50/1)

FAITHFUL DREAM has highlighted his turn may be near, again not seen to best effect having met with trouble at Wolverhampton 9 days ago. He can confirm recent positives and edges preference over In Denial who shaped encouragingly when fourth on her handicap debut latest.
