Small step in the right direction when fifth at Bellewstown last time. He's slipped a long way in the weights and is worth noting if the market speaks in his favour.

Has been off since unseating on final start for W. McCreery in late-September. Tongue strap goes on for new connections, and she ought to be competitive if back on song for her return.

Maiden has made no impact in 2 starts for new yard and hopes rest on a significant step up in trip.

Maiden posted her best run in a handicap when fourth of 16 at Gowran (1m) on reappearance, though does have stamina to prove upped in distance.

Much improved on just second start for current connections, finishing third of 14 in a handicap at Gowran, and makes plenty of appeal, with that form working out well.

Remains with just a sole win over jumps but shaped well when third in a Downpatrick handicap hurdle last time, and he makes some appeal on first Flat start for current yard.

Looked limited in 7f/1m maidens at the end of last year, though does at least switch to a handicap/longer trip on her return.

Has hinted there could be better to come for current connections, and while arriving on the back of a poor run at Dundalk in January, he's worth a second look in the betting.

Forecasts

Sarangpur (9/4), She's Ideal (5/2), Cleopatra's Needle (3/1), Copper Craft (4/1), Metamorpheus (5/1), Keilah (8/1), Giselles Defence (12/1), Cuckaloo Hill (12/1), Creative Dancer (14/1), Haeret In Pectore (16/1), Spirit Of Indalo (25/1), Serengeti Sunrise (40/1), Angel Harry (40/1), Think About It (50/1)

Verdict

CLEOPATRA'S NEEDLE shaped as though she could be ready to strike on her latest Flat start and is narrowly preferred to Sarangpur, who finished a solid third at Gowran last time. Copper Craft is likely to be in the mix, too, providing he can translate his recent all-weather form to turf.
