16/1

€80,000 Coulsty gelding. Brother to useful 1m/9f winner Glenall. Had a breathing operation prior to his Southwell (1m) debut and showed a bit amidst greenness, nearest at the finish having missed the break. Open to improvement.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Mark Winn| T: Miss J A Camacho

5/2

Harry Angel gelding out of a 7f winner. 33/1, promising start when second of 10 in novice at Newcastle (7f) on debut 29 days ago, learning as he went and losing out in a close 3-way finish. Will improve and a key player here.

Mr Writer²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 78

4/7

Ran his best race to date back on turf when second in 7f Lingfield handicap 3 weeks ago, doing best of those ridden prominently and deserving a little extra credit. Surely won't remain a maiden for too much longer.

Form: 2562-42

Down the field in 7f novices and handicaps over further will suit him better.

Form: 49

Two Commanders

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: O McSweeney| T: E Bethell

17/2

Mohaather gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including 1m-1¼m winner I Still Have Faith and 2-y-o 7f winner Ibiza Rocks, both useful. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Appealing newcomer for in-form yard and interesting to see any market support.

100/1

18,000 gns yearling, Dandy Man filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 5f winner Branding and 2-y-o 5f winner Lincoln Blue. 13/2, slowly away and always behind in 6f Newcastle novice for Karl Burke 6 months ago. Bought for just 1,000 gns in December.

GRASMERE BOY made a very encouraging debut when losing out in a 3-way finish at Newcastle and can open his account with improvement likely. Mr Writer is more exposed but the clear danger after a fine second in a handicap at Lingfield on the turf 3 weeks ago.
