Close To Me¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Joe Leavy| T: Ian Williams

40/1

Postponed filly is bred more for jumps and has offered little in pair of bumpers.

Form:

Oceanides²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: William Cox| T: E De Giles

100/1

Yet to beat a rival in either Flat start, latest over C&D.

Form: 96

Astrological¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M Botti

1/2

Inexpensive Nathaniel colt (dam closely related to smart sort) showed plenty to work on when runner-up over C&D first time up and has excellent claims to go one better.

Form: 2

(8)

Favourite Friend²³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Sir Mark Prescott

25/1

Didn't beat a rival in 3 novices last summer, though given who trains him, he's probably worth noting for handicaps down the line.

Form: 868-

Helios Path^p1¹⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Steph Hollinshead

66/1

Coulsty gelding offered little on 1m Bath debut in October and hard to be confident upped in trip sporting first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 0-

King's Courtier¹³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: K T O'Neill| T: J & S Birkett| OR: 30

66/1

Again showed nothing when well beaten in 7f Chelmsford maiden last November.

Form: 000-

(6)

Zooter¹⁹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: H Crouch| T: Jack Jones| OR: 70| BF

6/4

Progressive in novices but failed to meet expectations when (5/4) fourth of 7 on Ripon nursery debut in September. High hopes he can bounce back in a weak maiden, though.

Form: 9444-

(4)

Maryland Star¹⁸⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: J F Egan| T: D K Ivory| OR: 53

28/1

Showed more at long odds when (250/1) fifth of 13 in maiden at Brighton last October, however, that was still barely modest form.

Form: 005-

Forecasts

Astrological (1/2), Zooter (6/4), Favourite Friend (25/1), Maryland Star (28/1), Close To Me (40/1), King's Courtier (66/1), Helios Path (66/1), Oceanides (100/1)

ASTROLOGICAL and Zooter stand out in a thin maiden, the former narrowly preferred on the back of a promising C&D debut.
