Fernando²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: George Downing| T: E Walker| OR: 71

9/2

Lightly-raced winner. Broke maiden tag at Yarmouth in October. Decent third of 5 in nursery at this course (8.6f) 22 days ago. One for the shortlist.

Manara⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: K P De Foy| OR: 71| CD

10/11

Promising type arrives following back-to-back wins, latest defying a penalty to land a 12-runner nursery at this course (8.6f, 5/6) 54 days ago. Extra furlong today should hold no fears, and the manner of her last victory (won readily) suggests she's not done progressing. Leading player.

Patrol³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 68

13/8

Made frame on last five starts and has enjoyed a fine start for his new yard (previously with William Haggas). Career best when winning 7-runner nursery (15/8) at Southwell (8.1f) 32 days ago, responding well to pressure. Back in trip which should suit and another big run expected.

Unknown Journey⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Edward Greatrex| T: P Attwater| OR: 66

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in a novice event at Chelmsford City (7f, 100/1) 63 days ago. Up in trip but plenty to find with the best of these.

Tiempo Alegre^h¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Hector Crouch| T: Jack Jones| OR: 65

9/1

Winner at Southwell (7f) in December. Often patiently-ridden but has been set too much to do on last couple of starts, shaping better than the distance beaten when a good fourth of 12 in a nursery at this course (8.6f) 12 days ago. Respected.

Abstract Art^p⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: Ian Williams| OR: 55

20/1

Best recent effort when 50/1, good fourth of 11 in a nursery at this C&D 40 days ago. Interesting to see if he can back that up.

Forecasts

Manara (10/11), Patrol (11/4), Fernando (13/2), Tiempo Alegre (10/1), Abstract Art (14/1), Unknown Journey (20/1)

Impressive last time out winner MANARA remains unexposed and she can land the hat-trick, at the expense of the consistent Patrol who typically finds plenty for pressure and should go well again. Tiempo Alegre and Fernando can fight it out for minor honours.
