Has shown ability in finishing midfield in novice contests at Pontefract and Ripon this month but is probably one for handicaps later on.
|
Havana Gold half-brother to 2-y-o 5f winner Pure Angel and winner up to 1m Almotahed (2-y-o 6f/7f winner). Dam, 7f winner, half-sister to smart 5f-7f winner Tarboosh.
Caught the eye when fifth of 11 in maiden at Catterick (7f) on debut, but never landed a blow when down the field in a similar event at Thirsk last time. Drop in trip not an obvious move on pedigree and appeals as the type to do better once handicapping.
|
Promise when third in a maiden and novice event at Kempton last year. The latter effort, behind Fort Rock and next-time-out winner Go Rimbaud, sets the standard and he has obvious claims if ready to go after a break and breathing operation. First-time tongue strap fitted.
|
Showcasing colt who offered something to work when 4¾ lengths fourth of 12 in novice at Kempton (6f) 3 weeks ago. Entitled to progress.
|
After finishing fifth of 6 on debut over 5f here, he showed a little more when sixth of 9 over 6f at Newcastle 9 days ago. However, remains likely to be of little appeal this side of handicaps.
|
Territories gelding. Brother to winner up to 1m With Love. Encouraging enough debut when fifth at Leicester 16 days ago but he looks the type to improve for a step up in trip.
|
Gustav Klimt gelding. Half-brother to 5f-6f winner Sugar Baby. Stable wouldn't be a source of winning newcomers and percentage call is to look elsewhere.
Made a promising debut when third of 12 in novice at Kempton (6f) 23 days ago, slowly into stride but running on well late. In leading hands and fully expected to improve for that experience.
|
Offered little when ninth of 11 in a maiden at Newcastle (125/1) on debut in February. Difficult to fancy on the back of that.

Forecasts
Gold Star Gazing (7/4), Wezzeer (5/2), Hugh (5/1), Elite Approach (12/1), Agric Ranger (12/1), Forest Phoenix (12/1), Percy's Star (20/1), Likeadyinwasp (25/1), Sugar Bon Bon (25/1), The Cyprus Pearl (33/1)
GOLD STAR GAZING shaped well when placed twice last year and can make a winning return on his first start since a breathing operation. Wezzeer shaped with promise when running on late at Kempton last month despite being slowly into stride and, with improvement likely, is feared most. Hugh offered encouragement on his respective debut also and is entitled to progress.
