13:55 Diligent Harry
DILIGENT HARRY was prominent in the betting ahead of his debut at Wolverhampton last month and he duly justified support, showing good speed to see off one who set the standard beforehand. The penalty he must shoulder for that impressive victory will likely prove insufficient in stopping him maintaining his unbeaten record.
14:25 Shaqeeqa
SHAQEEQA made her handicap debut at Lingfield last month and, though she could only manage a sixth-place finish, she shaped better than the bare result suggests. She made headway when short of room in the straight and forced to switch, never really able to fully open up. It is likely she remains capable of better, and with David Loughnane’s yard in the winners of late, she gets the vote to open her account.
14:55 Must Be An Angel
MUST BE AN ANGEL joined David Loughnane’s yard after finishing a below-form third in a seller at Wolverhampton last month. But, she looks well treated on her best form, particularly when third over this course and distance from 7lbs higher last year. The switch to a new yard could spark something of a rejuvenation and she looks worth chancing on her first run for Loughnane.
15:25 Kestenna
KESTENNA built on her debut promise when getting off the mark at the second attempt at Wolverhampton last month, not having a great deal to beat as it turned out but drawing clear in good style. She has more to offer for the powerful John Gosden yard and is the clear one to beat.

15:55 Mabre
MABRE arrives here in good form, bouncing back to winning ways at Newcastle in December and showing a good attitude to get his head in front on that occasion. That was before finishing a good second at the same venue last time, that effort worth marking up a little given he was unable to get any cover towards the centre from his draw. He has won over this course and distance in the past and holds solid claims in his bid to regain the winning thread.
16:25 Zarafshan
ZARAFSHAN ran respectably when fifth on his first Flat start for Emma Lavelle’s yard last month. He built on that to open his account over this course and distance last time, seeing out the 2m trip well as he stayed on to lead inside the final furlong. He merits plenty of respect from a 3lbs higher mark.
16:55 Mack The Knife
MACK THE KNIFE was all the rage in the betting prior to the off at Wolverhampton earlier this month. He duly showed much improved form to get off the mark upped in trip, making the most of a good opportunity in authoritative fashion, winning with plenty in hand. He remains unexposed and this looks a good opportunity for him to double his tally.
