J: Faleh Bughenaim

T: Richard Hannon

Yet to score but he's been in the frame all four starts and ran well when second at Newbury (1m, good) on his handicap debut 12 days ago; made his bid on a part of the track that was possibly unfavoured that day and looks sure to make his presence felt again.

Made the frame at Newbury (6.5f/7f) in both 2yo starts and went down by only a neck at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) on reappearance; fairly solid handicap debutant, assuming he stays the new trip.

Seven-race maiden who has largely consistent form, latterly 332 since handicapping, latest effort behind Law Court at Sandown (1m); along with that rival, looks a solid contender.

The Joker

9st 9lb

J: Silvestre De Sousa

T: Jane Chapple-Hyam

0-6 record includes three runs here but he's run well on all of those visits, including when third of six in a hot Class 4 on his April return; filled that position again at Newmarket (also 1m2f, good) 12 days ago and this free-going sort may benefit from today's drop back to 1m; player.

The Joker

9st 9lb

J: Silvestre De Sousa

T: Jane Chapple-Hyam

Best form on return when third of six off this mark on handicap debut at Sandown (1m2f, good) but an enthusiasm to get on with it took him to the front again that day and a repeat would probably see him vulnerable once more.

7/2

Form: 216-63

3 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
Recorded sole win on AW but belied his 50-1 odds with good third behind Law Court and The Joker at Sandown (1m) most recently; in the mix, provided he backs up that effort.

Loblolly

9st 8lb

J: Robert Havlin

T: S Woods

Gained due reward for a couple of close calls when making all for a convincing win at Lingfield (7f, AW) in September; beaten around 17l on his next two starts, however, including in a warm event at Southwell on his April return (had been gelded); needs to get back on track.

J: Jack Callan

T: S Woods

Front-runner whose form on AW last year read 221 as opposed to 686 on turf; returns from 192 days off having been gelded and the market should be interesting.

Form & Verdict
Similar type to The Joker, being a consistent maiden who ties in with Law Court on last-time running (over 1m at Newbury in first-time cheekpieces); again should give his running.

Arbaawy

8st 12lb

J: Ray Dawson

T: John Butler

Maiden who is proving consistent and ran creditably at Ascot (1m, good) most recently; should give his running but chance of winning largely depends on the effects of first-time headgear.

Arbaawy

J: David Egan

T: John Butler

A maiden after seven starts but only beaten about 1l when running-on fourth (just behind Blue Courvoisier) on last month's seasonal/handicap debut at Newmarket; no surprise if he's on the premises again.

Quartermaster

Verdict

With his form stacking up very nicely, MOHAARAJ may well improve further and complete a hat-trick. Most of the other runners also look solid, particularly Law Court (second pick) who beat two of today’s rivals at Sandown last time.[Steve Boow]
