40/1

Took a Pontefract maiden in July and resumed winning ways in listed company at Ayr (5f, soft) in September. Ran poorly when last of 7 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6f) in April. Gelded since but has work to do from a 13 Ib higher mark than when last seen in a handicap.

Form: 13210-7

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Ray Dawson| T: S Pearce| OR: 91| D

50/1

Ayr maiden winner early last season who was an excellent sixth in Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot next time. Wasn't seen to best effect at Fairyhouse in September and unraced since. Subsequently sold from John S. O'Donoghue for 34,000gns and market best guide on handicap debut.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Thomas Greatrex| T: Charlie Pike| OR: 87| D

66/1

Fairly useful winner in Ireland last year but seems to have lost way since leaving G. M. Lyons and is hard to make a case for here in first-time tongue strap.

Form: 3100-89

Stargazed²⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 86| D

16/1

Opened her account in a 5f Ripon maiden last summer and wasn't disgraced when fifth in Prix d'Arenberg at Longchamp (5f, good) when last seen in August. Has an 8-month absence to overcome and any positive market vibes should be noted on handicap debut.

Form: 6415-

Kinnalargy²⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: O McSweeney| T: K A Ryan| OR: 85| D

8/1

Got off the mark in a novice at Redcar (5f) in June before a fine third to the subsequent Gimcrack winner at Thirsk. Good fourth in nursery at Doncaster (6f, good, 11/2) in September and has been gelded since. His 2-y-o form looks quite strong overall and he's a big player on return.

Form: 91374-

Eternal Solace¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: W Buick| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 85| D

12/1

Made a promising start to the season when placed on first 2 outings. Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, 11/4) 17 days ago, finishing with running left. Looks capable from this mark but her tardy starts are a concern.

Form: 025-326

Desert Treasure²⁹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 83| D

11/2

Highly-promising individual who created a good impression when winning both starts as a 2-y-o in maiden at Yarmouth and novice at Windsor. She may not have beaten much but she clearly has plenty of potential and could be on a lenient opening mark.

Form: 11-

Arduis Invicta⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 83| D

17/2

Kept busy last year, winning a Beverley maiden in August and nursery at Musselburgh the following month, both over 5f. 50/1, very good sixth of 12 in handicap at Chester (6f, good to firm) 9 days ago, having been drawn wide. May find a few lightly-raced sorts too strong.

Form: 1366-06

(10)

Shes Got A Brother^h,t¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Billy Garritty| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 82| D

14/1

Has displayed plenty of speed in winning her first 2 races over 5f at Southwell, showing a good attitude to overcome a penalty 17 days ago. Switches to handicaps/turf and is open to improvement.

Form: 11

Fortification⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 80| BF| D

40/1

Novice winner at Wolverhampton (5f) in November. In first-time blinkers, ran up to best when fourth of 9 in handicap (2/1) over that C&D in March. Sold from Archie Watson for 26,000 gns since. Others are more persuasive.

Form: 321-324

(14)

Schrodinger's Cat⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Oliver Stammers| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 80| BF| D

13/2

Deservedly opened his account in a Redcar (5f) novice on final start as a 2-y-o for Harry Charlton. Subsequently gelded and good efforts when runner-up both starts this season, latest in handicap at Chester (5f, good to firm) 7 days ago. running on late after meeting trouble. Makes the shortlist.

Form: 3421-22

(2)

Entailed²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Rossa Ryan| T: G Tutty| OR: 80| D

17/2

Winner at Sandown (5f) in August and wasn't beaten far in a listed contest at Newbury later that month. Form dipped afterwards but showed plenty of encouragement when third of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good) on return 27 days ago after leaving Andrew Balding.

Form: 16346-3

(17)

Hanney Girl^t²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 79| D

22/1

Found improvement to land a Beverley maiden and Ripon nursery (both at 5f) last summer. Possibly needed the run on reappearance at Thirsk (5f, good) 27 days ago. Front runner who may prove vulnerable.

Form: 11256-7

(7)

Naana's Shadow²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Jason Hart| T: K Scott| OR: 77| D

12/1

7/2, stepped up markedly on stable debut/reappearance when winning 8-runner handicap at Catterick (5f, good to firm) 23 days ago, making all. Is unlikely to get things her own way out in front upped in grade but she's a straightforward type.

Form: 7221-61

(11)

Storm Esme²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: D Egan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 77

40/1

Had 3 outings over 6f last year, winning a maiden on Newcastle's tapeta and novice at Leicester on good to soft. May have needed the run when no better than mid-field on handicap debut at Ripon (6f, good) 29 days ago. Will be one to note in the betting with that run under her belt.

Form: 101-7

(12)

Call Margot³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: G Tutty| OR: 76| D

14/1

No solid form in 3 starts for Diego Dias at 2 yrs but has progressed in 3 handicap outings at Southwell for current yard, winning 8-runner contest (5f) 36 days ago, well on top finish. Needs to improve again in this higher grade.

Form: 657-521

(3)

Von Trotter⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 74

12/1

Runner-up on all 3 starts but hard to fault his attitude. Makes handicap/turf debut in a competitive event.

Form: 22-2

Forecasts

Desert Treasure (11/2), Old Is Gold (6/1), Schrodinger's Cat (13/2), Kinnalargy (8/1), Arduis Invicta (17/2), Entailed (17/2), Naana's Shadow (12/1), Von Trotter (12/1), Eternal Solace (12/1), Shes Got A Brother (14/1), Call Margot (14/1), Stargazed (16/1), Believeinmenow (20/1), Hanney Girl (22/1), Fortification (40/1), Chairmanfourtimes (40/1), Storm Esme (40/1), Nuevo Slovo (50/1), Sir Alfie (66/1)

The unbeaten DESERT TREASURE is open to significant improvement and can take advantage from what may prove a potentially lenient opening mark in a competitive 3-y-o handicap. Schrodinger's Cat has made a good start for his new stable but may have to settle for another place, while Old Is Gold and Shes Got A Brother can fill the frame in that order.
