Andab⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Loughnane| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 103

7/4

Ended his 2-y-o campaign with an all-weather listed success over 7f at Dundalk in October. Bettered that form when only narrowly denied in a local Group 2 at Doha (1m, firm) on his reappearance in February. Likely to go well despite his penalty.

Form: 34621-2

Billecart²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rowan Scott| T: K R Burke| CD

85/40

Fourth on his debut in a Newmarket July meeting maiden which has worked out really well and he easily dispatched 3 rivals in a C&D novice on his return to the track 4 weeks ago. Smart prospect.

Form: 4-1

Jel Pepper¹⁸¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: H Crouch| T: Oliver Cole| OR: 99

9/2

Third in a 6f Group 2 on Newmarket's July course last summer and landed a valuable sales race over 7f on the Rowley course there in the autumn. His strength at the finish on that occasion suggests 1m ought to be within range.

Form: 13471-

New Monarch¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 93

6/1

Progressive form in defeat as a juvenile and made no mistake in 7f Kempton novice on reappearance 16 days ago. This is a step up in class but he remains capable of better. First attempt at 1m.

Form: 2244-1

Padraig Dawn³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Charlie Pike

18/1

Provided his rookie trainer with his first winner when justifying market support in 7f Southwell novice on debut in February. The way he led towards the finish suggests 1m is sure to suit but this is a jump in class.

Form: 1

Alarming¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 95

40/1

Winner of a 7f novice at Kempton last October. Has bettered that form when third in listed races over 7/1m at Saint-Cloud since but she was beaten around 5 lengths on both occasions and will need improvement to come out on top at this level.

Form: 2413-3

(3)

Timeforshowcasing¹⁹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Johnston| OR: 101

25/1

Useful 2-y-o, including fifth in the Group 2 May Hill at Doncaster over 1m. Ended her season with a win in a valuable series final over 7f at Goodwood in October. Has plenty of scope so should make at least as good a 3-y-o.

Form: 11951-

Forecasts

Andab (7/4), Billecart (85/40), Jel Pepper (9/2), New Monarch (6/1), Padraig Dawn (18/1), Timeforshowcasing (25/1), Alarming (40/1)

BILLECART could be smart and is selected to take the step up in class in his stride on the back of his easy C&D novice success last month. Andab has a 3 lb penalty for his listed success last autumn but is still feared most ahead of Timeforshowcasing, who possesses the physical scope to think she could make an even better 3-y-o.
