Geologist

Well placed by connections to win a Ripon novice and a listed race kin Germany at 2 yrs. Not in quite the same form in Meydan this year, albeit latest second in first-time cheekpieces was a bit more like it. Doesn't possess the scope of some now handicapping.

Dragon Leader (Ire)

Won first 3 starts before finding only one too strong in 17-runner valuable sales race at Doncaster (6.5f) in September. Stood out on form and duly landed the odds in the 2-y-o Trophy at Redcar and no surprise were he have more to offer as a 3-y-o. Handicap debut.

Fairly useful form when placed on all 3 starts after debut last year and reappearance fourth at Newbury was really encouraging, denied a clear run and keeping on well. Looks well weighted.

Accumulate

Calyx colt who produced a promising first effort when second at Ascot in September and justified favouritism both starts since, namely a maiden at Newmarket and a novice at Lingfield. Can leave bare form behind now handicapping at 3 yrs.

Different proposition on second start when landing 10-runner maiden at Kempton in January. Just a fair fourth in a better race over 1m a month later but he's in top hands ahead of handicap/turf debut.
