You Sexy Thing²⁵⁰

8/1

Got off the mark in 7f Sandown nursery in August and backed it up with a solid third in similar company at Doncaster (7f) after. Faced a stiff task in valuable sales event at Newmarket final run and no forlorn hope back in handicap company on his return (gelded).

Storm Point⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker| OR: 73| BF

4/1

Improved off being gelded to land 7f handicap at Kempton in April. Backed it up with a good sixth of 11 on all-weather at Lingfield (7f) since, twice hampered in last 1f. Much respected on his turf debut.

Form: 954-16

Slack Bob³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R Havlin| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 71

18/1

Built on earlier promise when gaining a breakthrough win in 8-runner all-weather handicap at Lingfield (7f) 30 days ago. Up 6 lb but he should remain competitive.

Form: 954-321

(7)

Box Clever⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Joe Leavy| T: J G Portman| OR: 71

12/1

Landed 7f Salisbury maiden last summer. Resumed from 7 months off with an improved second of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (1m) in April, travelling well long way. Winner has gone in again so she needs considering nudged up 1 lb.

Form: 63143-2

Mayflower Billy²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 69

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, easily best effort when second of 14 on his handicap debut at Doncaster (1m) 26 days ago. Needs to back it up from a 4 lb higher mark.

Form: 0-482

(5)

Suggy²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Watson| T: C Hills| OR: 66| D

3/1

On the up since sent handicapping and he returned with a ready success in 13-runner event at Kempton (1m) 22 days ago, always travelling fluently. Up 4 lb but that form is working out well so he's a big player.

Form: 90722-1

Forecasts

Suggy (3/1), Storm Point (4/1), Alpine Culture (9/2), Luminare (11/2), You Sexy Thing (8/1), Lahan Kingman (8/1), The Stone Power (10/1), Box Clever (12/1), Slack Bob (18/1), Sydney Rock (18/1), Mayflower Billy (33/1)

A number of these bring potential but it's hard to side against SUGGY who created a favourable impression when making a winning return at Kempton and still looks ahead of his mark despite a 4 lb rise with that form having been well advertised since. The progressive Storm Point could emerge as the main threat on his turf debut, although a solid case can also be made for Box Clever, Slack Bob and The Stone Power in this highly competitive handicap.
