Albemagic²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: C Lee| T: Steph Hollinshead

4/1

Al Kazeem gelding who hails from a family this yard know well and he was much improved from his Carlisle debut when finishing second in 4-runner Chester novice (7.6f) 4 weeks ago. Type to win races and he rates the main threat to Asset.

Form: 72

Feliz Navidad⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara

28/1

Mondialiste gelding who went backwards from a fairly unpromising Beverley debut fifth when filling the same spot in a Redcar maiden (7f) last week. In very good hands though, and type to do better in handicaps after this.

Form: 55

Asset¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 77

2/13

Wootton Bassett filly who has made the frame on all 4 starts to date, taking a small step forward from her previous exploits under an aggressive ride when second of 11 in a Windsor novice (1m) 2 weeks ago. From a smart family and big shout with further progress likely.

Form: 3-232

Forecasts

Asset (2/13), Albemagic (4/1), Feliz Navidad (28/1)

ASSET took a small step forward when finding only one too strong under an aggressive ride at Windsor 2 weeks ago and this looks an excellent opportunity for her to get off the mark with further progress likely.
