Opened his account with the visor reapplied in a 4-runner handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) 11 days ago. That was a very thin race but he's up only 4 lb and it is still early days with a yard that can get the best out of similar types.

Still looks a shade quirky but ran his best race on just his second handicap start when second of 5 in handicap (5/1) at Southwell (1¾m) 16 days ago. This is his turf debut but he's a leading player with good-value claimer up.

Proving consistent rather than progressive but she posted another solid effort when second of 5 in handicap at Nottingham (1¼m, good, 7/2) 13 days ago. Longer trip here promises to suit.

C&D winner last October. Good second of 12 in handicap at Pontefract (1½m, soft) on last month's return, worn down only near the finish. Same mark today.

4/1
Lost his form after gaining back-to-back wins on the turf last summer but he resumed from 7 months off with a good second of 12 in handicap at Kempton (1½m) last month. Bit below that level at Beverley 16 days ago, though.

Completed hat-trick at Chepstow last summer but below par when last seen at Wolverhampton in October. Others preferred returning from 6 months off.

Forecasts

Johnny Boom (5/2), Sword Of Wessex (11/4), Kurios Lady (7/2), Iwantmytimewithyou (4/1), John Galt (8/1), Trojan Truth (25/1)

Verdict

KURIOS LADY is bred to stay well and shaped as if she'd benefit from this longer trip when second at Nottingham last time. She gets the vote in a competitive heat over John Galt and Sword of Wessex.
