Antiquarian¹⁸⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: G & J Moore

200/1

Offered little on debut when last of 5 in novice at Newmarket (6f) in October. Needs to leave that effort well behind up significantly in trip on return.

Form: 5-

Bintknight

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: Harry Charlton

12/1

200,000 gns foal, Pinatubo filly. Closely related to useful 1¼m winner Queen of The Skies, and half-sister to 9f-11.4f winner To Catch A Thief and winner up to 1½m Cape Breton. Appeals on paper but may just be better for this first experience.

Gone By¹⁹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett

10/11

Bred to be useful and made an encouraging debut when runner-up in 1m novice at Newbury in October, very slowly away but pulling clear with promising stablemate. Entered in the Irish Oaks and looks to hold leading claims as she goes up in distance.

Form: 2-

Light Of Paris³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: J & T Gosden

5/1

500,000 gns yearling who shaped as if needing the run making her first start when fourth of 6 in novice at Kempton (11f) a month ago, weakening 1f out. Well-bred type and in good hands to take a step forward.

Form: 4

Pierpoint²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S Hitchcott| T: R Hannon

40/1

Shaped as if in need of the experience when seventh of 11 in newcomers race at Newbury (7f) 3 weeks ago, though made late headway (stablemate Tarrant ahead in third). Up in trip but looks one for the longer term.

Form: 7

(6)

Salamis Bay²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Saffie Osborne| T: Miss Gay Kelleway

125/1

Some encouragement on debut when fourth of 8 in maiden at Lingfield (6f) in January. However, she failed to progress when filling the same position in 6-runner novice at Southwell last month. Has plenty to find over this much longer distance.

Form: 44

(5)

Tarrant²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

2/1

Daughter of Space Blues who showed ability when keeping on for third in 11-runner newcomers race at Newbury (7f) 3 weeks ago, the first 2 home both looking useful prospects. Open to improvement with first outing behind her.

Form: 3

Forecasts

Gone By (10/11), Tarrant (2/1), Cool Girl (11/4), Light Of Paris (5/1), Bintknight (12/1), Pierpoint (40/1), Salamis Bay (125/1), Antiquarian (200/1)

GONE BY shaped with plenty of encouragement amidst greenness when second at Newbury on debut and, with this longer trip promising to suit, she is taken to go one better on return. Of those also with experience, Tarrant looks to be next best following her third at Newbury last month, while Cool Girl is one to note on her first start.
