Knicks Go filly who ran best race when third of 4 in novice at this course (7f, 66/1) when last seen in September. Has had a breathing operation since and is significantly up in trip on handicap debut. Market can guide.

No better than mid-division in 3 novice events at the end of last year. Takes a marked step up in trip and looks the type to do better now switched to handicaps with a first-time visor enlisted.

Masar filly who may have been short of peak fitness after 6 months off when sixth of 7 on handicap debut (12/1) at Wolverhampton (1½m) 25 days ago. Drops back in trip now which is expected to suit.

Failed to improve for the step up in trip when fifth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (1½m) in March. Doesn't appeal as an immediate winner in waiting and will remain vulnerable to less-exposed sorts.

Lightly-raced maiden who showed more than previously when fourth of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (1½m) on all-weather debut 10 days ago. Now her task is to build on that.

Went off at big prices and showed little in 3 starts last year. Best watched on handicap bow, though any positive market vibes should be noted.

5/4
Stepped up markedly on previous efforts when second of 12 to Karakula Dancer (gone in again since) in handicap at Kempton (20/1, 1m) in February, making up plenty of ground from the rear. Should stay this new trip and is a serious player if repeating that last run.

Showed more when second of 7 on handicap debut over C&D 18 days ago. Unexposed at this trip and can't be discounted from such a lowly mark.

Forecasts

Fallacious Promise (5/4), Central Command (9/4), Skirt Around (9/1), Project Kinsman (11/1), Regal Knight (11/1), Steel Fixer (14/1), Sweet Love (16/1), Ballon Rouge (28/1)

Verdict

CENTRAL COMMAND just about makes most appeal on handicap debut in this low-grade 3-y-o event. Fallacious Promise and Project Kinsman look big dangers on the back of their most recent runs and are feared most in that order.

  1. Central Command9/4
  2. Fallacious Promise5/4
  3. Project Kinsman11/1
