Edwin Hubble¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Joe Leavy| T: B J Meehan| OR: 75

13/8

Space Blues gelding with plenty of middle-distance influence in his pedigree, he had plenty of solid juvenile form last season and was sent off at 18/1 when respectable seventh of 12 on handicap debut/reappearance at Sandown (1¼m). Makes appeal stepping up in trip with a run under his belt.

Form: 7332-7

Guitar Solo²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 74

18/1

Sixth and not beaten far by a couple of subsequent winners second time up at Newbury (7f). Possibly unsuited by the track at Chepstow (7f) on qualifying run and while she'll need to improve for the switch to a handicap/markedly longer trip (half-sister to 1¼m winner), that's wholly possible.

Form: 563

(5)

Impossible Mission¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: J Butler| OR: 72

6/1

Back on the same mark as when successful on nursery debut at Wolverhampton last November, having appeared not to get home on first start over 1½m at Newbury (good to soft) last time, and he's probably worth another chance on a sharper track.

Form: 31-6734

(6)

Astrological²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Marco Ghiani| T: M Botti| OR: 71

11/4

Nathaniel colt who confirmed debut promise when landing the odds in a weak Wolverhampton maiden and while he didn't improve on first try over this trip on handicap bow at Lingfield, he's still unexposed on turf debut.

Form: 213

Rumbustious¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Billy Loughnane| T: C Johnston| OR: 66

11/4

Steadily improving in handicaps, pulling clear of the remainder when runner-up to a fairly useful type at Thirsk (1½m) latest, and he could make a bold bid to go one better with Billy Loughnane aboard for the first time.

Form: 68-3442

Forecasts

Edwin Hubble (13/8), Astrological (11/4), Rumbustious (11/4), Impossible Mission (6/1), Tabasko (13/2), Guitar Solo (18/1)

Hard to discount any of the sextet in an interesting 3-y-o handicap, but EDWIN HUBBLE is probably the one to beat if replicating his fairly useful juvenile form on second start of the season. Rumbustious is going the right way and could be the main danger with Billy Loughnane taking over.
