Made it 6-6 on all-weather when seeing off 10 rivals over C&D in January. Lost his unbeaten record on artificial surfaces when third in a 7f Lingfield listed event 5 weeks ago but it was another good run.
|
Runner-up in the Group 3 Sirenia at Kempton for David O'Meara last autumn. Hasn't fully confirmed that improvement since but did make a respectable start for new trainer Archie Watson when third of 8 in handicap at Southwell (6f) 21 days ago.
|
Won 6f novice events at Kempton (debut) and Southwell during the autumn. Only fifth on his C&D reappearance but got back on the up when second of 8 in 6f Southwell handicap 3 weeks ago. Wears first-time cheekpieces here.
|
Mehmas colt who has progressed well in his 3 starts, landing odds in Kempton maiden before producing a useful effort when second under a penalty over C&D 4 weeks ago. This handicap newcomer almost certainly has more to come and makes obvious appeal for top yard seeking a hat-trick of wins in this.
|
Made a winning debut over 7f at Dundalk for Joseph O'Brien. Followed up in 6f Southwell novice for new connections in January but has only managed fourth on his 2 outings since, latterly his handicap debut back at Southwell (6f). Early days but he needs improvement from this mark.
|
Rapidly progressive, completing a 4-timer when comfortably seeing off 6 rivals over 7f here 6 weeks ago. Another 10 lb higher now but it's hard to know where his ceiling is. A must for the shortlist.
|
Made it 2-3 when comfortably on top on 7f Wolverhampton handicap debut in January. Very much had the run of that race from the front but she's a lightly-raced filly from a leading stable so further progress can't be discounted.
|
Good start to his career over 7f/1m on polytrack this winter, making it third lucky in a novice over the shorter trip at Lingfield in January. Remains open to improvement now handicapping but the drop to sprinting asks a different question.
|
Retuned to win 6f handicaps at Wolverhampton and Lingfield in January/February but his run of good form came to an abrupt halt when only sixth of 8 at Southwell (6f) last month. Needs to resume his progression.
|
Progressive, bolting up in 7-runner maiden at Wolverhampton in February before going down by only a nose on handicap debut at Kempton (6f). May do better again.
|
Won 2 of first 3 starts. Mixed form since but did run up to her best when third of 8 in 6f handicap at Kempton on reappearance in March. Al Najashi looks the more obvious of the yard's pair.
|
Got off the mark in clear-cut fashion in C&D novice in November and has bettered that form when third on both outings since, latterly a 7f handicap at Naas 12 days ago. Back down in trip.
|
Winning stable debut at Kempton (6f) in November but hasn't really progressed in handicaps since, finishing length fourth of 12 to the reopposing Saffron Dandy at Lingfield (6f) on latest start 5 weeks ago.
|
Much improved to make a winning handicap debut over 5f here in January but a 6 lb rise proved enough to find her out at Wolverhampton (5f again) since. Others are much more obvious.

Forecasts
Silent Strike (10/3), Al Najashi (7/2), Ten Carat Harry (6/1), Northern Empire (13/2), Cotai Lights (9/1), Sparksmith (12/1), Jungle Ruler (14/1), Three Non Blondes (16/1), Monarch's Gold (16/1), Rogue Supremacy (18/1), Eternal Solace (20/1), One And Gone (22/1), Saffron Dandy (28/1), Justmyluck (66/1)
Fast-improving pair SILENT STRIKE and Al Najashi look the pair to focus on, with Andrew Balding's strong record in this race since it became a handicap tilting the vote the way of the former. Sparksmith also has a progressive profile and is next on the list.
- Silent Strike10/3
- Al Najashi7/2
