Bridge Of Eagles¹⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Watson| T: D Menuisier| OR: 75

11/2

Showed ability in 3 starts at around 1m as a juvenile and, gelded during the winter, he can be expected to improve now upped in trip for this handicap debut.

Form: 536-

Veritable^p¹³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Luke Catton⁽³⁾| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 74

11/4

Gradual progress with each of his 3 starts at 2 yrs, last seen chasing home a highly promising and unbeaten Godolphin colt at Kempton (11f) in December. Gelded since and he's one to consider now handicapping.

Form: 032-

(5)

Too Hot To Tango⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Rob Hornby| T: H Morrison| OR: 72

7/1

Fair maiden who has made the frame in all but one of her 8 starts. However, she continues to look vulnerable for win purposes and needs to raise her game now pitched into a handicap.

Form: 232-323

(7)

Kokoluna²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 72

9/2

Reached the frame in maidens at Lingfield and Wolverhampton in December. Improved when making a winning handicap debut at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft) last month but this looks tougher up 5 lb.

Form: 624-1

Lux Aeterna³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 71

17/2

Just minor promise in 3 runs at 2 yrs but gelded during the winter and duly improved when striking on first run in a handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f). 6 lb rise for that impressive display is fair enough and he should have more to offer.

Form: 678-1

Morbeh^p1³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ray Dawson| T: R Varian| OR: 71| D

3/1

Proved a different proposition when successful on handicap debut upped to 1¼m at Lingfield in January. Creditable fourth of 8 off this 5 lb higher mark on turf next time and will be a threat if the first-time cheekpieces help eke out a little more.

Form: 905-14

Foothold^h¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 64

12/1

Twice a runner-up in all-weather novices at Lingfield but went too freely on his first go in handicap company there in January. Settled better in a first-time hood (retained) at Bath (1m, good to soft) and not without each-way hope now upped in trip.

Form: 55-2254

Forecasts

Veritable (11/4), Morbeh (3/1), Kokoluna (9/2), Bridge Of Eagles (11/2), Too Hot To Tango (7/1), Lux Aeterna (17/2), Foothold (12/1)

It's unlikely that a 6 lb rise will be enough to prevent LUX AETERNA adding to last month's Wolverhampton win, provided that he proves equally effective on turf. Veritable has been handed a reasonable mark for this handicap debut and he is next on the list ahead of Bridge of Eagles, while Morbeh is also likely to be on the premises.
