W: 9st 7lb

3 yo Colt

OR: 80

Form & Verdict
Went off 2-7 when winning narrowly here on New Year's Day and may have bumped into a good one when penalised at Lingfield; should stay this extra furlong and clearly a contender despite conceding weight all round.

9st 6lb

J: Oisin McSweeney

T: Tim Easterby

Met trouble when fifth at Chester (6f, good) a fortnight ago but there were no apparent excuses when filling the same position at Newmarket last Saturday; the type to click for this yard before long but others are stronger today.

Ran well when fifth at Chester (6f, good) last Friday, when denied a clear run on his second stable start; Chester has brought out the best him in the past but he can also be effective elsewhere and could be thereabouts.

J: Sean Kirrane

Two C&D runs for Roger Varian yielded a win and a second; may have needed the outing on last month's stable debut and he's well treated if that run brings him on; more appealing than many.

Form & Verdict
Only 5-1 for his C&D debut and after travelling strongly he got the better of a rival who had experience and has won since; can no doubt improve some more.

Dual AW winner; yet to win in four starts on turf, although fair fifth over 1m4f at Beverley last time (good to soft); this drop in trip should suit; visor now tried (well beaten only run in cheekpieces).

On a losing run but he failed to stay 1m6f when ninth in handicap at Wolverhampton four weeks ago; not ruled out back in trip off an easing mark.

Dual Newcastle scorer (7f maiden/novice) for John Butler, the latest last February; 0-6 for this yard and although close up over 1m2f at Newcastle last month, his stamina is unknown for this far.

3 yo Filly

OR: 75

Form & Verdict
Dictated up front and was never headed here two weeks ago (7f), fending off a well-touted newcomer who was backed into odds-on; has the penalty to carry and this might be stronger, but she looks sure to run well.

Made all in a slowly run four-runner Newcastle novice (7f, Tapeta) in February, but her three efforts since, including heavy defeats in her last two outings, suggest she has plenty to find; another 3lb drop and the fitting of blinkers has to make a big difference.

Showed some promise over 6f and 7f on turf last season and she's a well-bred filly receiving plenty of weight from her three rivals; could make a better 3yo and wouldn't be dismissing her.
