Blue Mantle⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: J Mitchell| T: C Johnston| OR: 70| BF

18/1

Went close second time up at Newcastle before disappointing on his qualifying run at Southwell (7f), though he's related to some smart types, and his opening mark looks a fair one ahead of this first try over 1m.

Form: 3-25

Sovereign Bay^h³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Dr R Newland| OR: 70

9/1

Well-bred New Bay gelding who had plausible excuses for both starts since chasing home a now useful sort on debut at Newcastle and is potentially very well treated on handicap/turf debut.

Form: 234

(3)

Yorkshire Queen¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Oliver Stammers| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 68

14/1

Runner-up in a selling nursery at Newcastle in November and settled better when back to form at Southwell (7f) on her return, finishing fourth of 11 in a solid-looking handicap.

Form: 24524-4

(4)

Kiss For An Angel²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Barry McHugh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 67

16/1

Shaped encouragingly when well-backed second in a Redcar nursery last November. Gelded over the winter and is probably best forgiven his comeback run when too keen over a longer trip at Doncaster (1¼m).

Form: 2552-9

(12)

Alkumatic Jo Jo²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S De Sousa| T: I Furtado| OR: 67

9/2

Shaped well when runner-up in a nursery on final juvenile start and too soon to dismiss following a couple of lesser efforts this season, racing freely when tried over a longer trip at Doncaster (1¼m) last time.

Form: 3432-56

(11)

Senor Campanaro³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker| OR: 65

13/2

Improved on the back of a gelding operation when winning a 4-runner nursery at Newcastle in December but underlined concerns about his temperament (despite being backed at long odds) when down the field on return at Newmarket.

Form: 74951-0

Hambelton^h³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: D Marnane| OR: 65

3/1

Raider from an in-form Irish stable who travelled as well as any when mid-field in a fairly useful Curragh maiden last season and having shaped better than the result both starts in handicaps this year, the reapplication of a hood could unlock a bigger performance.

Form: 588-45

(9)

Sagremor^h1²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: D Menuisier| OR: 65

7/2

Shaped with promise on turf as a 2-y-o and is best not judged too harshly on a pair of all-weather runs last month. The addition of Oisin Murphy/first-time hood are both positives now tackling a longer trip and he's fallen to a potentially handy mark.

Form: 9304-85

(7)

Claytons Kolatonic⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Saffie Osborne| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 63

20/1

Tasleet gelding isn't bred to be much but did show improved form when fourth in a 1m Kempton novice on qualifying run. Has been pitched into a competitive race for his handicap/turf debut, though.

Form: 634

(5)

Paroda Diva^p²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: A Mullen| T: P Neville| OR: 60

25/1

Lost her way for Stan Moore after winning a 7f maiden at Lingfield (good) this time last year and still looked to be finding her feet for new connections when mid-field in a fairly useful Newmarket handicap last time. Cheekpieces go back on.

Form: 706-746

(2)

Jungle Knight^t¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: K Stott| T: M G Rimell| OR: 59

10/1

Maiden whose best effort to date came here when fifth on nursery debut, but he failed to improve on the back of a gelding operation when well held on return at Southwell last time.

Form: 47457-7

Forecasts

Hambelton (3/1), Sagremor (7/2), Alkumatic Jo Jo (9/2), Senor Campanaro (13/2), Sovereign Bay (9/1), Jungle Knight (10/1), Quick Turn (10/1), Yorkshire Queen (14/1), Kiss For An Angel (16/1), Blue Mantle (18/1), Claytons Kolatonic (20/1), Paroda Diva (25/1)

A competitive event but SOVEREIGN BAY is fancied to capitalise on a handy opening mark with Billy Loughnane aboard for the first time. Sagremor is a likely danger if seeing out the longer trip on return to turf, while there's probably more to come from Irish raider Hambelton.
