Colori Forever²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Marco Ghiani| T: M Botti| OR: 96| BF| D

15/8

Ready winner at Yarmouth on debut and doubled his tally with a 5-length success in handicap at Southwell on return. Ran well under a penalty 12 days later when beaten only by an improver in 14-runner contest at Newbury 3 weeks ago, faring best of those held up.

Form: 152-12

May Angel²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: W Buick| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 95| D

4/1

Southwell novice winner on second start, before finding things tougher at Group 3 level next 2 outings. However, after 6 months off (gelded and had breathing operation) he was much improved when third of 14 on handicap debut at Newbury 3 weeks ago (Colori Forever a place ahead).

Form: 5156-3

Synners Kid²¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: S De Sousa| T: Lemos Souza| OR: 91

66/1

Left previous form behind when making a successful nursery debut at Naas (1m, soft) in September. Followed up with plenty in hand at Bellewstown (1m, heavy) the following month, but absent since (has been gelded) ahead of first run since leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien for 110,000 gns.

Angel Of Anfield²¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Tom Clover| OR: 85| BF

14/1

Confirmed previous promise when making all in 6f novice at Windsor last summer and followed that with a good second in a Kempton nursery in October. Further progress required on return as he goes up in trip (stamina on dam's side of pedigree).

Form: 52212-

Albaydaa²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 83| D

3/1

Progressed well last autumn, easily landing the odds in 7f Wolverhampton maiden on final outing. Shaped promisingly on seasonal/handicap debut when staying on for third in 13-runner contest at Newmarket (6f) 22 days ago and return to this trip should suit. Respected.

Form: 321-3

Queen Tamara²²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Harry Charlton| OR: 83| BF| D

8/1

Continued theme of race-by-race progress when landing maiden at Chepstow last summer. Looked like following up on nursery debut at Newmarket in September, failing to keep straight and headed close home, and the winner and second have boosted the form. Major player on return.

Form: 5212-

Aqua Bear¹⁶⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: Ian Williams| OR: 82| D

66/1

Stood out on his form for Adrian McGuinness in Ireland and didn't need to improve to win 10-runner maiden at Newcastle in November. More needed now entering handicaps, but that's not out of the question given his useful pedigree. Has been gelded. Engaged 3.40 Chester Thursday.

Form: 72921-

Ay Up Duck¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M Appleby| OR: 81| D

25/1

Has been going the right way in a trio of maidens this spring, suited by the step back up to 7f when winning at Southwell 15 days ago with the front 3 pulling clear. Brings a positive profile to handicaps so he could be in the mix.

Form: 221

Goldwork³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Saffie Osborne| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 81

12/1

Fair 6f juvenile winner who got back on the up following a low-key end to his 2-y-o campaign when third in handicap at Kempton last month. Return to 7f promises to suit, but this is tougher upped in grade.

Form: 81400-3

Illy's Roo²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Ray Dawson| T: G Tutty| OR: 77| D

18/1

Dual winner for Jack Channon last year and struck at first time of asking for this yard in handicap at Southwell in March. Ran at least as well when third at the same course next time, before shaping as if still in good heart up in grade when mid-field at Newbury 3 weeks ago.

Form: 1-47138

Forecasts

Colori Forever (15/8), Albaydaa (3/1), May Angel (4/1), Queen Tamara (8/1), Goldwork (12/1), Angel Of Anfield (14/1), Illy's Roo (18/1), Ay Up Duck (25/1), Aqua Bear (66/1), Synners Kid (66/1)

QUEEN TAMARA took another step forward when runner-up on nursery debut at Newmarket, looking the likely winner for a long way, and she can resume winning ways with more still to offer this year. The main danger could be Albaydaa, who remains open to improvement back up to 7f, with Ay Up Duck another to consider as he goes handicapping.
