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.

It's possible the drop back to 5f will help but Chester brought out the best in him for Roger Varian and it's been the same story for his new yard this term; has to improve upon what he's been showing away from the Roodee.

J: Duran Fentiman

Chester winner (6f, good) for Roger Varian last season; best runs for Tim Easterby have been over same C&D (third there on Saturday after racing wide); chance on that last run but not sure this straight 6f will be ideal.

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.

9st 9lb

J: George Wood

T: Jessica Macey

Started handicap life on an unrealistic mark after winning his first two on Tapeta and struggled last year; found his level again in the visor lately, chasing home a subsequent winner before finding 1m4f beyond him last time; one to consider.

J: Lewis Edmunds

T: Jessica Macey

Dual AW winner for his previous stable; has tumbled in the weights since joining this yard last summer and ran well in the added visor at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) 19 days ago, shaping as if this step back up to 1m4f would suit; shortlisted.

J: Oliver Stammers

T: Jessica Macey

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).

Form: 41 CD

W: 9st 0lb

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.

J: Joanna Mason

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.
