Adayar¹⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: James Doyle| T: C Appleby| OR: 93

8/1

Frankel colt who built on debut promise when easily landing 1m Nottingham maiden (heavy) last October. Bred to be smart, and well worth considering for yard among the winners.

Form: 41-

(9)

Alenquer²³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 100

25/1

Ready Newbury maiden debut winner before excellent second to Fancy Man in 1m listed race (15/8) at Haydock (soft) in September. Open to further progress, especially now up to 1m2f. Shortlisted.

Form: 12-

(4)

Belloccio¹⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: David Egan| T: D Menuisier

12/1

Belardo colt who made winning start in 1m novice here before taking his form up a notch with victory in 1m listed rac at Toulouse (good to soft) in November. Will be suited by 1m2f. Possibilities.

Form: 11-

(7)

Etonian¹⁹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 109| C

9/1

Looked a very good prospect in winning his first 2 starts here, comfortably landing Solario Stakes, but ran no sort of race in the Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket final outing. Worth another chance.

Form: 110-

(5)

Irish Legend¹⁶⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Jim Crowley| T: H Palmer| OR: 88| D

18/1

Sea The Stars colt who made it 2-2 with stylish win in 1m2f Chelmsford City novice in November, showing a good turn of foot. Useful prospect who will be suited by 1m2f. Shouldn't be underestimated.

Form: 11-

(2)

Lone Eagle¹⁹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: S M Levey| T: M Meade| OR: 110| D

7/2

Improving Galileo colt who relished the step up to 1m2f when gamely completing his hat-trick in Zetland Stakes at Newmarket in October. Sort to go on again this season. Holds good claims.

Form: 2111-

(10)

Recovery Run¹⁹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 107| C

8/1

Useful juvenile who signed off with fine 1¾l second to Lone Eagle in Zetland Stakes at Newmarket (1m2f) in October. Course winner too so he's not dismissed lightly on his return for in-form yard.

Form: 221212-

(8)

Sir Lucan¹⁹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 104

12/1

Excellent fourth in Group 2 Beresford Stakes at the Curragh before cosily landing 1m Cork novice in October. Remains with plenty of potential over middle-distances. Much respected Irish challenger.

Form: 541-

(3)

Trawlerman¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: L Dettori| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 93

11/2

Golden Horn colt who took his form up another level on his turf bow when wide-margin winner of 1m4f Pontefract maiden, clocking a good time. Very much on the up, and highly respected.

Form: 3-31

(6)

Yibir²¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 100| C

4/1

Improved with each of his 4 runs, opening his account in 7f maiden here before signing off with useful effort in 1m Newbury conditions event. Son of Dubawi has more to offer. Not taken lightly.

Form: 3511-

Forecasts

Lone Eagle (7/2), Yibir (4/1), Trawlerman (11/2), Adayar (8/1), Recovery Run (8/1), Etonian (9/1), Belloccio (12/1), Sir Lucan (12/1), Irish Legend (18/1), Alenquer (25/1)

A fascinating renewal of the Classic Trial. TRAWLERMAN clocked a good time when running away with a Ponterfract maiden earlier in the month and this fast improving son of Golden Horn can take this step up in class in his stride for the Gosden team. Yibir looks the pick of the Charlie Appleby-trained duo and is feared most, although Zetland Stakes 1-2 Lone Eagle and Recovery Run are much respected.
