Monte A Bord¹⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Billy Garritty| T: M & D Easterby

18/1

Bred well for the Flat but made a good start in bumpers last autumn, winning at Newcastle. This looks tough now switched to the level.

Form:

(6)

Plutarch¹¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Megan Smith⁽⁷⁾| T: G Boughey

50/1

Fourth of 10 on 1½m Wolverhampton debut in December in a race that produced winners, but beaten a long way back there a fortnight later. Returns from 4 months off now tackling turf and handicaps will be more his thing.

Form: 48-

(8)

Australia Day

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Jason Watson| T: A M Balding

11/2

60,000 gns foal, 180,000 gns yearling, Australia gelding. Half-brother to 9.5f winner Zenga and 2-y-o 7f/7.4f winner Surpass, both useful. Newcomer to note.

(1)

Knightsail¹⁷⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: David Probert| T: D Menuisier

7/1

Much better second time up at Goodwood last season when third to useful Godolphin prospect in 9f novice. Should do well over this trip and beyond this year.

Form: 73-

(9)

Olympic Charter

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Connor Planas⁽³⁾| T: C Appleby

7/4

Kingman gelding. Closely related to 5f winner Nordic Games and half-brother to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 11f Beautiful Love. Must be respected on debut.

(3)

Outback Legend

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Jack Doughty| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole

14/1

€80,000 yearling, Australia colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 1¼m winner Maksud and 8.4f/9.4f winner Haajoos.

(2)

Qarreeb¹⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: George Downing| T: E Walker

9/2

Dubawi colt. Half-brother to 1m winners Sounds of Heaven and Voice of Angels. 9/1, held back by inexperience in 8.6f Wolverhampton novice in November. Type to do better this year.

Form: 7-

(5)

Tornado Tower

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Tyler Heard| T: J & T Gosden

9/4

850,000 gns yearling, Frankel colt. Brother to high-class winner up to 14.5f Hurricane Lane and useful winner up to 1½m Frankel's Storm. 15.5f/2m winner. Very much catches the eye on paper.

(7)

The Bitters¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain

100/1

150/1, always behind in 1m Newcastle novice 18 days ago.

Form: 6

Forecasts

Tornado Tower (13/8), Olympic Charter (2/1), Australia Day (5/1), Monte A Bord (8/1), Outback Legend (14/1), Qarreeb (16/1), Knightsail (20/1), Plutarch (66/1), The Bitters (100/1)

This can go to a newcomer, with TORNADO TOWER and Olympic Charter both making stacks of appeal on paper for top yards. Knightsail is the clear pick of those with experience but will probably benefit from an even stiffer test.
