1/12

Made appeal on pedigree and duly won 11-runner novice at Salisbury (1m, good to soft, 4/1) on debut in October, well on top finish. Should be more to come this term and will take all the beating here.

33/1

Showed a bit more than on debut but ultimately well held in maiden at Newbury (1m, good, 80/1) 10 days ago. Likely one for handicaps down the line.

10/1

Back from 8 months off when seventh of 10 in maiden (6/1) at Kempton (1m) on UK debut 20 days ago. Entitled to improve and holds each-way claims.

Mick The Hat²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett

Thomas Picton¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Tom Marquand| T: J Channon

18/1

Once-raced maiden. 66/1, eighteenth of 25 in maiden at Newbury (1m, good) on debut 10 days ago. Likely to need more time.

Form: 0

Vitality²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Harry Davies| T: C Johnston

12/1

Promising sort who posted fair third of 5 in maiden at Southwell (1m) on debut 26 days ago. Should have learnt plenty from that.

Form: 3

Forecasts

Runman (1/12), Get Outta Here (10/1), Vitality (12/1), Thomas Picton (18/1), Hattie's Comet (20/1), Fizzy Bear (33/1), Mick The Hat (40/1), Hengest (80/1), Pureis King (100/1)

It's hard to get away from RUNMAN, who looked potentially useful when make a winning debut at Salisbury last autumn. Vitality and Get Outta Here can also make their presence felt.
