Al Maslool¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 74

12/1

Fair form. Best effort when length third at Lingfield (1m, all-weather) in March. Respectable seventh in a stronger race at Yarmouth since. Won't need to raise his game much for the step up in trip.

Form: 537

25/1

Teofilo colt who was bought 20,000 gns last autumn. Rookie trainer has had a winner but a watching brief is advised on debut.

Better effort in turf novices 6 months apart when 4 lengths third of 8 at Bath (1¼m, good) 18 days ago. Player for leading stable which won this race in 2024.

9/1

40,000 gns Sottsass gelding. Brother to 1m-1½m winner Dixmude. Dam, US 8.5f winner, half-sister to useful French 1¼m winner Vue Fantastique. From a yard in form and would enter calculations if the betting speaks in his favour.

22/1

€65,000 Sea The Moon gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart winner up to 1½m Bluestocking out of very smart winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner) Emulous. Another newcomer who needs monitoring in the betting.

11/4

Masar gelding. Dam, 7f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1½m Elite Army out of Prix Miesque winner (stayed 11f) White Rose. An interesting debutant.

80/1

Failed to beat a rival on Chelmsford debut last autumn but showed ability when fourth over 1m at Thirsk on reappearance 13 days ago. Up in trip. More will be needed here.

Form: 0-4

Three No Trumps²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rossa Ryan| T: E A L Dunlop

9/2

Showed promise when third of 13 on 1m Kempton debut in November. Possibly needed run when fifth of 9 at Doncaster (1¼m, good to soft) 26 days ago. Likely to figure prominently if back to his debut form.

Form: 3-5

Forecasts

Cape Fear (5/4), Fighter's Spirit (11/4), Three No Trumps (9/2), It's Debatable (9/1), Al Maslool (12/1), Le Morbihan (22/1), Barak Warrior (25/1), Mayflower Billy (80/1)

CAPE FEAR is taken to build on his latest Bath third over this trip and provide Andrew Balding with a second success in this maiden in the last 3 years. Three No Trumps will be a danger if recapturing the level of last year's debut. Al Maslool has also shown promise, while a market move for one or more of the newcomers would also bring them into the reckoning.
