Age: 3|  Weight: 9-9| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR:  55
Modest form across his qualifying runs and has failed to improve switched to handicaps this season, the form of his penultimate run far from solid.

New Objective20
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-9| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: K Frost| OR:  55
Posted a solid third on nursery bow at Southwell in December on his final run for Jack Morland. Looked very rusty at Doncaster on return 3 weeks ago and this should reveal more over a trip he's likely to stay.

Shirakawa13
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR:  55
Hard to draw too many positives from her qualifying runs at Kempton and failed to improve switched to a handicap at Windsor 2 weeks ago. However, was at least competitive for a long way that day and drop back in trip can help.

Age: 3|  Weight: 9-8| J: William Cox| T: Tom Dascombe| OR:  54
Struggled in maidens but at least made much more of an impact when fourth of 5 at Chepstow on second run in a nursery. Off 9 months.

Atalanta Mist23
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: M P Tregoning| OR:  53
Similar form when placed in handicaps here last 2 starts, looking one paced despite the longer trip over C&D 23 days ago. However, that form is decent for the grade so she can make her presence felt again.

Mali Starp132
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-7| J: George Bass| T: J Channon| OR:  53| BF
No threat at 2 yrs but seemed unlucky not to win here (1m) on return, meeting trouble before finishing with a flourish. A tad underwhelming when close third over same C&D a week later but worth another chance given more of a break this time. Likely to stay/headgear on.

Maryland Star39
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-6| J: Thomas Greatrex| T: D K Ivory| OR:  52
Best effort in maidens when third at Wolverhampton on return, some headway after racing freely. Ridden inefficiently over longer trip on handicap debut there next time so worth another chance back down in distance.

Well held in 3 starts last year and similar story at Yarmouth on handicap bow/return.

Age: 3|  Weight: 9-2| J: George Downing| T: J W Mullins| OR:  48
Little form in 3 runs over 6f as a 2-y-o. Bit more of an impact in handicaps here this season but not enough to make her of interest. Headgear on.

Poor efforts 3 of 4 starts this year but on a fair mark on the pick of his form in Ireland for Kieran Patrick Cotter so worth a second look stepping up in trip on debut for in-form yard.

Forecasts

Mali Star (11/8), Atalanta Mist (7/2), Us Officer (8/1), Skyolaire (10/1), New Objective (16/1), Shirakawa (16/1), Elora Prince (20/1), Emerald Coast (20/1), Rajbello (20/1), Three Builders (20/1), Castlekeely (20/1), Maryland Star (20/1), Ethereal Charm (33/1), A Daughters Love (100/1)

Verdict

MALI STAR was unlucky not to make a winning return here in April and can make amends at the second attempt given longer between his races this time. Atalanta Mist is next best ahead of Elora Prince and Shirakawa.
