Light Dreamer²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Joe Leavy| T: R Hannon| OR: 74

3/1

Went close on debut at Kempton (7f) and ran well again despite still looking green when fifth in an historically notable maiden at Newbury (1¼m) next time. Stiff task at Ascot latest and more chance now handicapping.

Form: 257

Saxophonist³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 73

11/8

Handed a stiff-looking mark on what he achieved in his qualifying runs but type to make a better 3-y-o and he showed improved form when third on reappearance at Doncaster (1m). Should be sharper for that and the race has worked out, so good claims.

Form: 383-3

Porth Eilian²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell| OR: 69

6/4

Being brought along steadily and wasn't knocked about when fourth of 5 in novice at Thirsk (7f) 25 days ago. This well-related Palace Pier filly has more to offer stepping up in trip for her handicap debut.

Form: 7-54

Forecasts

Saxophonist (11/8), Porth Eilian (6/4), Light Dreamer (3/1)

This could get messy and all 3 runners have potential for better this year, but SAXOPHONIST is hard to get away from with the form of his promising Doncaster comeback run having worked out well.
